Healthcare
NHS trusts & multi-site estates
Track mobile clinical equipment ward-to-ward. Monitor medicine and vaccine cold chain continuously.
£300m in medicine waste annually - temperature monitoring directly cuts expiry losses.
Data Direct Intelligence
See everything.
Act instantly.
Real-time asset tracking, environmental monitoring and operational intelligence. Signal is our flagship IoT platform.
What we do
From self-serve sensors to enterprise deployments.
DataDirect Intelligence is an IoT solutions company with a decade of proven deployment across the world’s most demanding environments: defence, healthcare, and critical infrastructure.
We design, supply and manage sensor hardware and data platforms that give organisations real-time control over their assets, environments and operations.
Our Signal platform scales to where you are. Start small, order sensors online, connect in days, and get live visibility within the week. Or work with our team to scope a full enterprise deployment: custom sensor networks, data architecture, dashboards, and compliance reporting
Whatever the scale, the outcome is the same: you stop guessing and start knowing.
We work with hardware partners globally to source and deploy the right sensor for the right environment
Whether that’s tracking a forklift on a factory floor, monitoring temperature in a hospital pharmacy, or accounting for personnel on critical sites.
Asset Tracking
Know where every tagged asset is, in real time, across every site.
Environmental Monitoring
Temperature, humidity and energy - continuous, with automated alerts.
Automated Alerts
Rules built in plain English. Notifications the moment something needs attention.
Secure by Design
Encrypted end-to-end, isolated per tenant, enterprise-ready from day one.
Flagship Product
Signal - Operational Intelligence Platform
Signal connects your physical assets, people and locations into one live operational view. Ask Scout - our built-in AI assistant - anything about your operations and get a plain-English answer in seconds.
Every asset, every location, every event - in one place- Sub-minute location and status for every tagged asset
- Scout - ask questions in plain English, no query language needed
- Instant alerts - push, email and webhook, on by default
- Setup in minutes - plug in a gateway, scan a tag, go live
- Secure by design - encrypted end-to-end, isolated per tenant
- Environmental tracking - measure energy, emissions and conditions across every location.
Built for sectors where precision matters
Defence
MoD depots, bases & primes
Prove asset presence across depots before deployment. Automated chain-of-custody replacing manual inventory walks..
Fewer over-buys when real inventory is visible. Audit trail on demand.
Pharma
GxP environments & cold chain
Materials and equipment tracked through production stages. Cleanroom and cold store conditions replace paper logs.
Batch rejections prevented. Regulatory audit evidence already assembled, not reconstructed.
Utilities & Data Centres
Critical infrastructure & uptime
Equipment tracked across large estates. Environmental sensors fill the gaps SCADA and BMS don't reach.
Earlier detection prevents outages and penalties. Replaces manual walkarounds at remote sites.
Oil & Gas
Offshore, midstream & downstream
Safety-critical assets tracked across platforms and remote infrastructure. Condition monitoring fills gaps in integrity assurance.
Shell fined £560k after undetected release. Continuous monitoring reduces incident and regulatory risk.
Manufacturing
Discrete & process production
Production assets tracked zone-to-zone. Dwell time surfaces bottlenecks. Env sensors on storage and process lines.
£80bn+ projected downtime losses in 2025. Earlier detection across all three signals cuts stoppages and batch failures.
