Case Study: Tagdat achieves improved construction site safety and efficiency with Microsoft Corporation's Azure IoT solution

Tagdat improves construction site safety and efficiency with IoT

Tagdat, a UK-based small industrial IoT specialist in the construction sector, wanted to digitize on-site hazard controls and improve safety where physical barriers like bunting were often unreliable. Working with Microsoft Corporation, Tagdat used Azure, Azure IoT Hub, and Azure Maps to create geofenced virtual boundaries around dangerous areas and provide better visibility into site operations.

Microsoft Corporation helped Tagdat implement an IoT solution that sends audio, visual, and automated alerts when workers or equipment approach hazards, while also tracking speed, acceleration, and vehicle activity. The solution improved safety and efficiency, enabled better equipment utilization and reporting, and supported sustainability by reducing wasted fuel and idle time; it also gave Tagdat a scalable, secure platform for expansion into new regions.
