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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
The TAD i-am unit and tracker are installed on the machine or vehicle.
Users, Tags, badges, licences and training records are set up in the secure portal, then pushed down to the units.
Authorised Tags and badges start equipment; denied attempts stay immobilised and logged.
Managers can view starts, stops, locations, journeys and device status.
Usage hours support OEE, hire, servicing, carbon and productivity decisions.
Start with limited trial units, then expand across sites, fleets or regions.
