Discover TAD i-am 3

Only authorised, trained and in-date people should be able to start valuable plant. TAD i-am makes that rule automatic.

The TAD i-am difference

Why sites choose TAD i-am

TAD i-am gives managers direct control over who can operate each machine, vehicle or asset. It combines Bluetooth Tag or RFID smart card access, on-board training checks, telematics and reporting so safety, utilisation and accountability improve together.

Driver credentials

Two ways to be recognised

Every start is permission-based — the unit has to recognise the person before the machine will move. How it recognises them is up to you.

A Bluetooth Tag

A TAD Tag issued one per driver, no sharing. The unit picks it up as the operator gets into the cab, so there is nothing to present and nothing to swipe. Walk away from a plant machine and it immobilises itself.

Any RFID smart card

TAD i-am now reads standard RFID smart cards — including the company ID badge your people already carry. The card used for identification, door entry and the cashless canteen can authorise the machine as well. No second credential to issue, carry or lose.

Either way the check behind it is identical: the unit matches the credential against that person's licence type and in-date training before it will release the ignition, and writes the result — granted or refused — to the event log.

Frequently asked

Practical answers

TAD i-am is built for busy plant environments where safety, cost and compliance all matter. It verifies the operator before start-up, records every grant or deny event, and turns everyday activity into reports managers can use for training, hire, service and carbon decisions.

How TAD i-am works

From fitment to control

01

Fit the device

The TAD i-am unit and tracker are installed on the machine or vehicle.

02

Create operator profiles

Users, Tags, badges, licences and training records are set up in the secure portal, then pushed down to the units.

03

Live visibility

Authorised Tags and badges start equipment; denied attempts stay immobilised and logged.

04

Monitor live activity

Managers can view starts, stops, locations, journeys and device status.

05

Report utilisation

Usage hours support OEE, hire, servicing, carbon and productivity decisions.

06

Scale the rollout

Start with limited trial units, then expand across sites, fleets or regions.

TAD i-am

A Tag or ID badge per driver makes every start traceable, authorised and tied to the person operating the machine.

If the operator is out of date, the machine stays immobilised and the attempt is recorded.
