Case Study: Hadley Group improves safety and security across manufacturing sites with Verkada

How Hadley Group Optimises Safety and Security Across Manufacturing Sites

Hadley Group, a steel manufacturer with multiple U.K. sites, needed a better way to improve worker safety and protect against theft while handling heavy machinery, coils, forklifts, and lorries. Their existing Windows-server-based camera system was difficult to manage, lacked storage, and used too much bandwidth, making incident review and site-wide security more cumbersome.

Verkada provided a cloud-based physical security platform with cameras, live audio, Viewing Station, and AI-powered alerts to help Hadley Group monitor incidents, support investigations, and strengthen perimeter security. With unlimited cloud archiving, easy remote access, and features like motion, tamper, and person-of-interest alerts, Verkada helped the team respond faster, reduce near-miss risk, and improve visibility across sites; the case study also notes protection for 400 workers and minimal bandwidth usage of 20–50 kbps.
