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.

Production assets tracked zone-to-zone. Dwell time surfaces bottlenecks. Env sensors on storage and process lines.
Discrete & process production
£80bn+ projected downtime losses in 2025. Earlier detection across all three signals cuts stoppages and batch failures.
Manufacturing
Safety-critical assets tracked across platforms and remote infrastructure. Condition monitoring fills gaps in integrity assurance.
Offshore, midstream & downstream
Shell fined £560k after undetected release. Continuous monitoring reduces incident and regulatory risk.
Oil & Gas
Equipment tracked across large estates. Environmental sensors fill the gaps SCADA and BMS don't reach.
Critical infrastructure & uptime
Earlier detection prevents outages and penalties. Replaces manual walkarounds at remote sites.
Utilities & Data Centres
Materials and equipment tracked through production stages. Cleanroom and cold store conditions replace paper logs.
GxP environments & cold chain
Batch rejections prevented. Regulatory audit evidence already assembled, not reconstructed.
Pharma
Prove asset presence across depots before deployment. Automated chain-of-custody replacing manual inventory walks..
MoD depots, bases & primes
Fewer over-buys when real inventory is visible. Audit trail on demand.

About us
Gain Control of Your Critical Assets
with Real-Time Business Intelligence
DataDirect Intelligence transforms IoT asset management and monitoring into a strategic advantage.
Our Signal platform delivers the visibility, insights, and traceability you need to optimize operations, ensure compliance, and mitigate risk—all through powerful IoT data analytics.
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.

What Signal Does
We turn existing data into decisions that protect margin.
Signal AI creates and curates data from across your operation connecting to existing systems and deploying sensors for location, temperature, and humidity where visibility gaps exist.
ROI is based on research that manufacturing companies experience 11% of downtime impacting revenue (£1.1m cost).
Signal claims to reduce this downtime by at least 5% (£55k recovery). £4,360 is based on a basic asset tag, environmental sensor and gateway package

“Quote”
Claire Cromie,
Digital Programme Lead
“From project inception the whole DDI team invested in understanding and refining tourism data capture, replacing year-old data with real-time data, providing valued insight to transform services.They brought together a range of business, technical and IoT specialism that differentiates and lifts them above other manufacturers and suppliers in the marketplace.”
“Quote”
Lara Bryan,
Health Operations Manager​
“Earlier this year, WM5G engaged DDI to support a centrally funded Asset Tracking Pilot at Midlands Metropolitan University Hospital; a brand new exemplar hospital. From start to finish, it has been an absolute pleasure
to work with the DDI team. Despite challenging time frames and expectations, the team provided an exceptional service from start to finish. They have demonstrated patience, flexibility and generosity in the time and attention given to every aspect of this pilot and have been unflagging in their commitment and service levels through to the end.​


I would, without hesitation, recommend DDI to any future client.”
