Cargo theft breaks records every year, and it starts at the fence around the trailer yard. RBtec turns that fence into a zoned alarm layer that satisfies TAPA FSR auditors and feeds the cameras your guards already watch.
Cargo theft in the United States reached record levels in 2025, with industry trackers putting direct losses in the hundreds of millions of dollars, and facility burglaries are a growing share of it. The pattern is consistent: crews enter through or over the yard fence at night or on weekends, go straight for staged trailers or high value racking, and are gone before a patrol pass. Cameras record the loss. The fence, if it can talk, prevents it.
The TAPA Facility Security Requirements are the benchmark high value shippers use when they choose logistics partners. FSR defines security levels A, B and C, and its expectations for the highest levels include monitored perimeter protection, controlled gates and documented alarm response. A new FSR edition takes effect through 2026, which is exactly when many facilities revisit their perimeter. CTPAT adds perimeter expectations for import supply chains, and cargo insurers increasingly ask the same questions an FSR audit does.
The yard fence is divided into detection zones, each tuned to its own reality: the zone along the truck lane lives with constant heavy vibration, the back fence line does not, and their sensitivity settings should never be the same. When a zone alarms, the VMS calls up the cameras on that stretch of fence, and the guard responds to a verified event at a known location instead of a bare siren.
The sensor cable mounts on the existing fence and the zones wire into the security system the site already runs. A typical yard is completed in days, with no interruption to 24/7 operations, and the same design repeats across every facility in the network.
