Diebstahlschutz mit CERES Protect

... prevent my vehicles from being stolen.

Just last week, you paid a hefty price for your new machinery. And today, it's gone.

Someone must have stolen it. And nobody saw a thing, even though the equipment is large and loud. Hoping for some information, you drive all around the neighborhood and the area, but you don’t find a trace of the missing machinery. In the meantime, you call the police, who start their search after a lengthy information gathering process. Whether you will ever see your machinery, vehicle, or trailer again is unclear. You start to doubt yourself, and one bad scenario after the next runs through your mind. In the worst case scenario, your insurance might not even accept the damages. It’s a situation you never want to find yourself in.

Prevent it by choosing CERES Protect and integrated vehicle tracking.

With our powerful GPS equipment, you can track your vehicles, trailers and machinery online at all times, even from a mobile device. With CERES Protect, the theft we’ve described above would look very different. You pull out your smartphone and log onto the web application, to immediately find the GPS location of your stolen property. Then you call the police, and you can give them a specific place to start.

Of course, things might not even get that far. Our vehicle management functions are a perfect addition to vehicle tracking features. This creates a kind of invisible theft protection. With geofences, you are always informed if your vehicle moves outside of a defined area. In addition, you can choose the times the vehicle is allowed to travel, and when it is not. Connect the box to your vehicle for a theft protection solution par excellence. If the vehicle moves out of the geofences or does not comply with its set time frames, you can set the horn to sound continuously, or shut off the transmission. Thieves will be forced to abandon the vehicle.

CERES Protect is an innovative device that combines a variety of vehicle tracking and vehicle management functions and solutions in one. It is not simply a GPS device, but rather a comprehensive and intuitive system that makes it much easier for you to work with your vehicles, trailers and machinery.

All of the technology inside CERES Protect – including the GPS device – is housed in a compact box. You simply attach the box to your vehicle, trailer, or machine. When you connect the box to the web application, the location data recorded by the GPS device is exchanged with the web application. Data are transmitted via mobile networks. You select a rate when you order your box. This gives you full control over where your vehicles, trailers, or machines are located.

You can access the locations of your vehicles through your computer or smartphone browser. Whether you see the vehicle’s current location or one of its last locations depends on how often location data are exchanged.

GPS location data are exchanged as often as you choose for vehicle tracking purposes. This can occur once daily, or once hourly, for instance. Live location transmission is also available. Please note that the mobile rate you select also affects location transmission. You will learn more about your options in your offer e-mail. Request your offer here.

The device’s battery life can vary, depending on how much it is used. More frequent location transmissions and operating processes, for instance, will use it up more quickly. Overall, CERES Protect can last for up to 90 days with a full battery, based on the high power module. Once the battery starts to weaken, you are informed in the web application with a request to charge it. You can also connect the device to your vehicle via the CAN Bus, for a permanent power source. Then you won’t need to worry about empty batteries anymore.

With vehicle tracking, you always know where your vehicles, trailers or machines are located. This is especially helpful if a theft occurs. You will detect the theft quickly, and can give the police a specific place to start their search. With our other theft protection solutions, you can even prevent the theft itself.

Yes, you can really track your vehicles at all times if the battery has sufficient charge and the device is not shielded by any metal components. The integrated SIM card always looks for the best available network for precisely transmitting GPS location data.

The vehicle location and the associated data documentation is about pure information and work support. It makes sense to also communicate to your employees. You should know that, among other things, a GPS device is used on board your vehicle and that relevant data is collected. However, CERES Protect expressly does not have a system for controlling and monitoring employees.

Normally, the drivers of your vehicles do not need to do anything specific when CERES Protect is in use. However, this is not the case if you use the geofences and usage periods functions for theft protection. In this case, you should explain to the drivers that they are not allowed to drive the vehicle past a certain boundary, or use it during certain time periods.

The price charged per CERES Protect device depends on a variety of factors. In particular, these include the mobile rate you book and the device version you choose. You can order your first device from just 339 euros. Request your offer here.

How efficient is your company?

Your employees are working hard, and so are you. There are data sets to review, to determine where your vehicles and machines were and when, how they got there, and maybe even how many hours they spent working in a specific area. It feels like it takes hours. And at the end of the day, all this work is just to list the right price for a single item. Sometimes, all you can do is estimate, even with all of your data. Maybe to the detriment of your company. Sometimes, you notice inconsistencies that have to be cleared up right away. Other work gets held up in the process. You don’t have time for your business partners’ calls. It’s stressful. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

With CERES Protect, vehicle management is easy, giving you more time for what's important.

All of the information you need for other company processes is now available online. In your personal CERES Protect web application. Routes traveled, speeds and locations are documented automatically. Each connected vehicle is documented individually. You can print and process the information as well.

You can also determine the areas where your vehicle fleet is allowed to move, and when. It just takes a few clicks – theft protection included. You are notified immediately when your vehicles leave the area you define, or if they are moved during prohibited time periods. A sensitive vibration sensor is integrated into the device. It sounds an alarm immediately when the vehicles start moving, for instance in case of an attempted theft. The system can automatically disable the transmission, without harming the vehicle, or sound the horn continuously.

Questions and answers that might interest you:

CERES Protect is an innovative device that combines a variety of vehicle tracking and vehicle management functions and solutions in one. It is not simply a GPS device, but rather a comprehensive and intuitive system that makes it much easier for you to work with your vehicles, trailers and machinery.

CERES Protect consists of two components – the box, which contains all of the technology and which you attach to the vehicle, and the intuitive web application. Once you have installed the box, you can connect the components via a mobile network. Then, you can use the different features immediately. Settings, such as defined geofences or time periods, are then transmitted directly to the technology in the box and continuously monitored. This works for a group of connected vehicles, or for a single vehicle. You select a mobile rate when you order your box. Request your offer here. The device automatically uses the best currently available network, no matter the rate you select. This gives you complete control.

  • Geofences: Determine the areas in which your vehicles, trailers or machines are generally allowed to travel
  • Usage periods: Select the times when your vehicles, trailers or machines are allowed to travel, and when they are not
  • Document routes traveled
  • Document vehicle speeds
  • Vehicle tracking using an installed GPS device
  • You can wire CERES Protect to the vehicle to trigger an action if a vehicle violates a geofence or a set time period.

We are always working to integrate other innovative features into our CERES Protect tracking and management system.

Vehicle management works on any computer with a browser you can use to log into the web application.

GPS location data are exchanged as often as you choose for vehicle tracking purposes. In addition to your other options, for instance, you can select daily or even hourly updates. You set your cycle in the web application, just like other settings.

The battery life can vary greatly, depending on how much you use the device. In general, the tracking and management system can last up to 90 days with a full battery. You can view the charge status in the web application at any time. Similar to a smartphone, you will also receive a separate notification once the battery charge falls below a certain level.

You save time, since you no longer need to individually monitor your vehicles. Instead, you can view them all in the web application, and access specific information such as routes traveled and vehicle speeds. This helps you complete invoices and handle other company processes. The theft protection features (vehicle tracking and triggering responses) are also extremely helpful. You can use them to avoid theft, and react in a quick and targeted manner if anything is stolen.

To ensure continuous theft protection and precise vehicle tracking, it is important to maintain sufficient battery charge, and to attach the device in an ideal location. The GPS device should not be shielded by any metal components, if possible. This is the only way to ensure an optimal connection to mobile networks, so location data can be transmitted. Also attach the CERES Protect tracking system in an area where thieves will not notice and remove it.

CERES Protect is explicitly not designed as a system for monitoring your employees, but rather simply for informational purposes and to support your work. However, your employees should know the system is in use, and that data such as routes, speeds and GPS locations are being collected.

Normally, drivers of your vehicles do not need to do anything specific to use CERES Protect. If you are using geofences features or stipulating specific driving times, drivers should be informed of this. This ensures that they do not exceed or ignore the boundaries and usage times you have set.

The price charged per CERES Protect device depends on a variety of factors. In particular, these include the mobile rate you book and the device version you choose. You can order your first device from just 339 euros, no matter which mobile rate you choose. Request your offer here.
