STRATTEC Develops Theft-Deterrent System for Construction Equipment

STRATTEC Security Corporation has released i-Guard, its latest anti-theft solution, developed specifically for the construction, fleet and rental equipment industries.

A unique electronic code is programmed into the engine module and into a chip in the key or a fob. The code is transmitted between the two components by a small antenna via difficult-to-mimic radio frequencies. When a key is inserted into the ignition or a fob used with a push-start button, the vehicle requests authorization. If the engine and key or fob codes don’t match, the vehicle will not start. In addition, the system relies on radio frequencies, which the majority of criminals do not have the skills to disable.
