Ubudu Hybrid RTLS with Spatial AI Agents

Ubudu is a Paris-based company that has been building real-time location systems since 2011. It helps industrial sites, hospitals and public venues know where assets, people and vehicles are, combining Ultra-Wideband and Bluetooth Low Energy radios instead of forcing a single technology.

The system consists of the Hybrid Tag 4.0 in Mini, Slim and Round form factors, which switches in software between BLE presence, on-demand UWB precision and a Precision Finding mode; anchors and gateways; a Location Engine computing positions ten times per second; and rules plus Spatial AI agents for flow, safety and asset use cases. It runs in the cloud or on premises and integrates via REST, WebSocket, MQTT and webhooks. Customers include Jabil, Kulicke & Soffa, Safran, Schneider Electric and Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Hong Kong.

• Hybrid Tag 4.0: one tag running BLE, on-demand UWB and Precision Finding modes in software.
• Location Engine: computes positions ten times per second and feeds alerts, maps and reports.
• Spatial AI agents: Flow, Safety, Asset and Ask agents that act on location data.
• Pick-to-Light: the tag LED blinks when an item is selected in the software.
• Electronic shelf label support: partner hardware from Minew and PDI.
• Open integration: REST, WebSocket, MQTT and webhooks, deployable in the cloud or on premises.

An electronics assembly plant in Vietnam can track reels, fixtures and carts with hybrid tags and use Pick-to-Light for kitting. A hospital can locate infusion pumps and wheelchairs at room level. A logistics center can define safety zones that alert when people and forklifts come too close.

One hybrid tag covers several use cases, so buyers avoid deploying separate BLE and UWB systems. UWB accuracy below 50 cm in industrial settings and BLE zone-level tracking at 2 to 5 m let costs follow precision needs. Pick-to-Light and Precision Finding cut search time, and the choice of cloud or on-premise hosting suits sites with strict data rules.

RTLS buyers increasingly want one infrastructure that covers asset search, worker safety and process analytics, which favors hybrid UWB and BLE designs. Location data is also becoming input for AI agents that trigger actions automatically. Semiconductor and electronics plants in Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam are adopting such visibility tools as they scale up.

Ubudu is based in Paris, France and has been building RTLS since 2011. Its site lists customers in more than 35 countries, including UMW Aerospace, Woodsquare Mall in Singapore and Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Hong Kong. Products carry CE and FCC marks and the platform is GDPR-oriented.
