VIN CHIP

🚜 Day 2 at the Royal Highland Show!

We may have had a bit of rain overnight, but it certainly hasn't dampened our spirits.

This morning, we fitted a VIN Chip kit to a quad bike for ATV Services Scotland Ltd, demonstrating how VIN Chip helps deter theft, protect valuable assets and identify machinery through its unique forensic identity.

If you're visiting the show today, come and see us at the Scottish PARC Stand (47P, Avenue H), where we'll be showcasing practical solutions to help protect valuable machinery and equipment.

Pop by for a chat and discover how VIN Chip can help make your equipment harder for thieves to target, easier to identify, and more likely to be recovered if stolen.

🚜 What a fantastic first day at the Royal Highland Show!

We've had a busy day meeting farmers, contractors, machinery dealers and rural business owners, all keen to learn more about protecting valuable machinery and equipment from theft.

It has been great to speak with so many people about security, asset protection and the simple steps that can help make stolen machinery harder to sell and easier to identify and recover.

We've also enjoyed catching up with industry friends and partners from across the rural sector, all working towards the common goal of supporting and protecting rural businesses.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by to see us today. The atmosphere has been brilliant, the weather has been on our side, and we're looking forward to doing it all again tomorrow!

Day 2 at Cereals Event was certainly a wet one! 🌧️

The weather may have tested everyone's resolve, but it didn't stop us having some great conversations about protecting machinery, tackling rural crime and helping farmers safeguard their valuable assets.

A highlight of the day was joining Richard from British Agricultural and Garden Machinery Association - BAGMA to visit a number of BAGMA members around the show. It was a fantastic opportunity to introduce VIN Chip, discuss the benefits of our theft deterrent and asset protection systems, and share details of the exclusive incentives now available to BAGMA members.

Events like Cereals are all about meeting people, sharing ideas and building relationships, so it was great to see so much interest in practical solutions that help keep machinery safe and traceable.

To top it all off, we enjoyed front-row seats for the brilliant Hawkstone Farmers Choir, fresh from their Britain's Got Talent success, who provided some much-needed entertainment after a very rainy day! 🎶

Thank you to everyone who stopped by for a chat. If you'd like to learn more about protecting your machinery and equipment, we'd love to hear from you.

Day 1 at the Cereals EventCereals Event at Diddly Squat Farm Shop done ✔️

Thankfully, the weather stayed dry, which always helps at an outdoor event. It was great to catch up with familiar faces from across the agricultural sector and have some valuable conversations with farmers, contractors, landowners and machinery professionals throughout the day.

Rural crime was a major topic of discussion, with many visitors sharing concerns about machinery and vehicle theft and the impact it continues to have on rural businesses. We had some excellent conversations around theft prevention, asset identification and recovery, and how VIN Chip helps support farmers in protecting their valuable equipment.

It was also great to see our friends at CFMOTO UK showcasing their ATV range and supporting the agricultural community.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by the stand today. We’re looking forward to another busy day today.

We're looking forward to kicking off Cereals Event 2026 on Wednesday alongside DeterTech and Rural SafeGuard on Stand 440.

The latest NFU Mutual Rural Crime Report 2026 highlights why machinery security remains a growing priority for UK farmers. Agricultural vehicle theft claims rose by 18% to an estimated £8.3 million, while the cost of quad bike and ATV theft increased by 31% to £3.5 million. Livestock theft also rose by nearly 30%, reaching £4.5 million.

These figures demonstrate the continuing impact rural crime has on farms, businesses and livelihoods across the UK.

At Cereals, we'll be showcasing how VIN Chip helps deter theft, identify stolen machinery and support recovery efforts through advanced forensic marking and asset identification technology.

If you're attending the event, come and see us on Stand 440 to learn how you can better protect your machinery and equipment.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Agricultural crime is becoming an increasing reality for farmers across the UK.

The theft of tractors, quad bikes, trailers and machinery continues to rise - impacting farms, businesses and rural communities nationwide.

That’s why DeterTech is proud to be co-exhibiting with Rural SafeGuard and VinChip at Cereals Event 2026.

Together, we’re helping build safer rural communities and protect livelihoods.

Come and visit us at Stand 440 to find out more.

See you there!

A brilliant recovery and a real example of why layered security is so important. 👏 From registration and accurate records to trackers and visible deterrents, every measure helps increase the chances of recovery. Well done to all involved in getting this caravan back where it belongs.
