The Opportunity: Precision Tracking in an Evolving Industrial Landscape

From manufacturing to logistics, modern industrial systems are more advanced, and more complex, than ever. This complexity brings greater performance, but also new vulnerabilities, from supply chain disruptions to workplace safety concerns.

A new wave of real-time location technologies is emerging to meet these challenges. By combining continuous location intelligence with flexible connectivity, these solutions help organizations improve operational efficiency, safeguard workers, and maintain business continuity.

Milan-based Ubiquicom has emerged as a leader in this space, recognized by the Financial Times as one of the 100 fastest-growing technology companies in Europe and ranked 2nd-fastest in Italy by Sole 24ORE.

The Solution: Real-Time Locating Systems for Unconventional Contexts

Ubiquicom’s Locator and TrackVision RTLS platform goes beyond traditional RFID tracking by eliminating the need for physical scans and fixed checkpoints. Instead, assets, vehicles, and personnel can be located continuously, anywhere, indoors or outdoors.

Key capabilities include:

• Flexible connectivity: BLE, WiFi, UWB, LoRa, and Lidar
• Custom hardware: Multi-technology tags built in-house and through partnerships
• Sector-specific applications: Logistics, healthcare, manufacturing, warehousing, and site security

In manufacturing, Ubiquicom helps operators identify work-in-progress items instantly, even among hundreds of similar units. In logistics and warehousing, RTLS ensures assets are stored correctly and found instantly. In all contexts, real-time worker and vehicle visibility supports both productivity and safety.

Their TrackVision telematics solution provides accident prevention and safety monitoring, while the AI-driven SYNCHRO platform optimizes warehouse handling with measurable benefits:

• Reduced travel time and costs
• Smaller required vehicle fleets
• Fewer quality issues

Why Soracom: Global Reach, Local Reliability

In 2017, Ubiquicom conducted a rigorous vendor selection process, evaluating multiple IoT connectivity providers. Soracom was selected for:

• Proven reliability in the field
• Business value through scalable, pay-as-you-go pricing

Today, Ubiquicom uses Soracom Air SIMs to connect over 10,000 telematics devices deployed in Italy, integrating with customer systems and complementing client-provided connectivity where needed.

The Outcome: Scaling Across Industries and Borders

Ubiquicom has earned the trust of major industrial leaders including Toyota Material Handling, Venice Airport, Daikin, CNH Industrial, and ABB.

Currently focused on logistics, manufacturing, and transportation in its domestic market, Ubiquicom is actively expanding across EMEA. A Series B funding round launched in 2021 will fuel further R&D and support entry into additional sectors, including:

• Energy and oil & gas
• Workplace safety
• Healthcare
• Fleet management

With Soracom’s connectivity platform ensuring reliable, scalable device communication, Ubiquicom is poised to transform asset tracking and telematics for industrial customers worldwide.
