Thermal security has become significantly more cost-efficient over the past few years, allowing dealers and manufacturers to add military-grade science to their outdoor protection. Thermal Perimeter Detection safeguards both farm equipment dealers with acres of inventory, as well as equipment manufacturing and distribution sites with raw materials and final goods. The sensors can then trigger an alarm that the perimeter has been violated. Thermal sensors can detect an intruder’s body heat in complete darkness or harsh environments like fog, rain, sleet and snow. Having the ability to monitor individuals attempting to break into your property’s perimeter requires an intelligent solution.

Today, both scenarios are becoming more common - but criminal activity can be mitigated using thermal sensor technology and video alarm verification.

When finished goods are stolen from either distribution or production facilities, manufacturers could miss critical deadlines for their dealer base. If copper is stolen or an implement is robbed through an intentionally cut fence, a dealer loses the opportunity for revenue. That is why dealers and manufacturers often use after-hours outdoor security solutions to prevent criminal activity. However, if finished goods or raw materials are vandalized or stolen, the impact on production and sales could be staggering. Whether it’s material handling products or industrial machinery, today’s farm equipment dealers and manufacturers that support the agricultural community’s needs are developing more innovative solutions than ever before. With the average farm topping over 400 acres, the cost of equipment needed during planting and harvest can often range between $200,000 and $400,000 for specialty tractors, implements or combine accessories.

A 2017 study completed by the United States Department of Agriculture stated that there are over 2 million farms in the U.S., totaling more than 910 million acres.
