Earlier this month, a trailer carrying Ceres systems was stolen.
It has since been recovered, and federal law enforcement, including the FBI, moved quickly to resolve the situation. We appreciate the coordination and the speed they brought to it.
At no point was there any risk of unauthorized use, which is what matters most.
That wasn’t left to chance. It comes down to how the system is built.
Ceres systems don’t simply power on and operate. They require secure activation, can be locked remotely, and the batteries are handled separately. Without the proper access, they don’t run, which means even outside of normal operation the system remains controlled.
Situations like this tend to highlight a broader point: where your equipment comes from matters.
When a system is built and supported domestically, there’s a level of accountability that comes with it. You can track it, you know where it came from, and you know where it’s supposed to be. If something goes sideways, you’re not reacting after the fact – you’re able to act immediately.
In this case, every unit was traceable. That made coordination straightforward and allowed everything to be recovered without escalation.
That’s intentional.
We build our systems in the United States for a reason. They’re built to work, but they’re also built to be controlled, supported, and accounted for wherever they are.
That’s part of the responsibility that comes with building equipment people rely on.
