EV LongRange Yard
Cable storage yard · theft detection

Know the roll left the yard.
Before the van does.

cut32 Yard puts a small wireless tag on every roll of cable in your storage yard. The control box hears every tag, all the time. The moment a roll is carried out of range — or its tag is shielded or destroyed — the alarm goes out over LTE, naming exactly which roll is on the move.

The system in place

A roll-call for every roll, around the clock.

Each roll carries a coin-cell wireless tag with its own identity. The CC32 control box continuously takes a register of every tag it can hear. A tag that stops answering — carried away, shielded, or destroyed — fails the roll-call, and that is the alarm. Nothing has to be armed, and there is nothing for a thief to switch off first.

How it's built

Stick-on tags. One hardened box. No infrastructure.

The yard needs no wiring, no gates, no beams and no cameras to work — everything active is the tags themselves and the CC32 control box that listens to them.

The tag

A wireless identity on every roll

A small, rugged Bluetooth Low Energy tag sticks to the roll or drum and beacons its unique identity on a coin cell measured in years, not months. Each tag is paired to its roll at goods-in with one QR scan — so the alarm names the roll, its cable type and its value, not just "a tag".

Years of battery life per tag · low battery flagged well in advance
The roll-call

Presence, checked continuously

The CC32 box keeps a live register of every tag it can hear and re-checks it continuously. A roll leaving the yard drops off the register within seconds and the alarm fires — with the last-heard time and signal trend attached, so you know when it moved and roughly which way it went.

Seconds from out-of-range to alarm on a phone
The backbone

The proven CC32 platform

The same hardened control box that powers cut32 LongRange: LTE-first with its own backup battery, GPS position, and continuous supervision in both directions — the box watches the yard, and the platform watches the box. A yard box going dark is itself an alarm.

LTE · GPS · battery — guards through power cuts and network loss

Fail-secure by design — silence is an alarm, not a blind spot

Detection systems that look for a signal can be beaten by removing the signal. cut32 Yard is built the other way round: the alarm condition is a tag not answering. Wrap the tag in foil, crush it, pull its battery, or drive the roll out the gate — all of them look identical to the roll-call, and all of them raise the alarm within seconds. The only way to keep the system quiet is to leave the cable where it is.

Stolen doesn't mean gone — trackable in real time, phone to phone

The tag doesn't stop working at the gate. Wherever the roll goes, it keeps beaconing — and any mobile phone within Bluetooth range of the tag can pick it up and relay its position in real time. Every passing phone becomes a listening post, so a stolen roll keeps reporting where it is, live on the map — in a van, in a lock-up, at a scrap dealer — all the way to recovery.

And while the purpose of this is recovery — driven by you or by us — the real goal is deterrence: a roll that keeps broadcasting its whereabouts elevates the risk to the would-be thief or gang, and it is that elevated risk that stops the theft happening in the first place.

Straight answers

What happens, when.

Every event the yard can throw at the system, and exactly what you get for each one.

Platform & apps

A live stock list that defends itself.

Every customer gets a private, secure tenant on the cut32 platform — your own branded hostname, your yards, your people, fully isolated from everyone else's.

Live yard inventory

The roll-call doubles as a stock system: every roll on site, right now, with its cable type, age in the yard, and full movement history — under your own name.cut32.com hostname.

Engineer & yard apps — iOS and Android

Alerts routed to the right people for each yard. Goods-in tagging, authorised despatch and tag replacement are all one-scan jobs in the same app.

One-scan commissioning

Stick a tag on the roll, scan its QR, done — the tag is paired to that roll's identity and joins the roll-call immediately. Protecting a new delivery takes seconds per roll.

Deployment

Protecting a yard takes an afternoon.

No civils, no cabling, no planning permission — one powered box and a pocketful of tags.

Place the box

Mount the CC32 control box centrally with sight of the yard, on any 5–26 V DC supply. It finds LTE, reports its GPS position, and appears on your platform ready to guard. Larger yards simply take more than one box.

Tag the rolls

Stick a tag on each roll and scan its QR in the app — identity paired, roll-call joined, seconds per roll. New deliveries are protected at goods-in as a matter of routine.

Guarded — and stocked

From that moment the yard defends itself around the clock, and your live inventory is a side effect: what's in stock is, by definition, what's answering the roll-call.

The cheapest cable to replace is the one that never left.

One box. A tag on every roll. An alarm that names what's moving while it's still in the yard. Talk to us about your site — and see cut32 LongRange for protecting the cable after it's installed.
