Industry-specific problems
- Signalling and trackside copper theft
- Safety-critical outages and network delay penalties
- Long, unmonitored corridors with open access points
- Recovered material that cannot be traced to a corridor
Industry-specific solutions
- Marking of cable, signalling assets and trackside equipment
- Controlled and on-site application during possession windows
- Corridor-level deterrence labelling
- Field verification workflows for transport police
Measurable outcomes
- Reduced repeat theft on marked corridors
- Fewer delay minutes attributable to theft events
- Evidence packages that support prosecution
- Safety and regulator reporting backed by asset data
Relevant case context
How NanoTag is being applied
Copper theft prevention decks presented to rail operators and police form the basis of corridor-level marking programs.
How it works
Four steps to protect what matters most.
1
Apply NanoTag
Thousands of microscopic identifiers are applied across the asset using purpose-built applicators.
2
Register Ownership
Each asset is linked to its rightful owner in a searchable, secure database.
3
Asset Becomes Identifiable
Visible warning labels and invisible markers together shift the risk-to-reward equation for thieves.
4
Verify & Recover
Police and recovery teams verify markers in the field and trace the asset back to the registered owner.
