Empower Precision and Compliance Through Real-World Data and AI
Ubisense empowers aerospace and defence manufacturers to achieve precision, compliance, and operational efficiency through real-time location data and AI-driven insights, ensuring every asset, part, and process aligns with mission-critical standards.
Aerospace and Defence
Ubisense’s SmartSpace platform and sensor technology deliver real-time insights that enhance visibility across production and supply chain operations. By bridging gaps in existing systems, SmartSpace empowers leaders to overcome challenges like production bottlenecks, supply chain disruptions, and compliance mandates, all within a low-code environment that enables rapid solution development.
In an industry where resilience, precision, and agility are paramount, Ubisense enables you to streamline workflows, reduce waste, and maximize operational efficiency.
Process Optimization in Aerospace
Ubisense Process Monitor for Aerospace provides complete, automated, end-to-end visibility of every stage of production.
The real-time location and movement of aircraft assemblies, tooling, kits and parts are tracked using high-performance Dimension4 ultra-wideband sensors and tags.
As assemblies move into and out of defined workspaces, important location events are recorded and can be used as a trigger to update business systems, people, or machine controls.
MRO
Uncover and reduce invisible process waste in MRO. Ubisense provides a platform to monitor the location, flow and interaction of everything in your complex maintenance, repair and overhaul operations.
The ability to see everything, everywhere gives your existing systems the super-power to find and eliminate previously invisible process waste, increasing productivity and preventing errors.

Tooling Management & Control
Ubisense location-enables the entire production environment, making moving assets visible and controllable.
- Real-Time Tracking: Tools and equipment are tagged with RFID, barcodes, RTLS, or GPS for precise location tracking, ensuring they are easily located, securely transferred, and accounted for, even during international shipments.
- Automatic Monitoring: The system detects unauthorized or misplaced tools, roaming outside designated zones, and alerts when tools are not returned to stores on time.
- Maintenance Integration: Maintenance and calibration schedules are tied to real-world usage, with automated alerts to ensure compliance with operational standards.
- Efficiency Features: Includes automated tool check-out/return via kiosks, direct tool delivery to technicians, and dynamic scheduling based on real-time demand and location.
- Inventory and Performance Management: Offers real-time insights into tool availability, condition, usage, and downtime, aiding lifecycle management, procurement, and operational efficiency.
- Usage Analytics: Detailed reporting on tool performance and reliability identifies areas for improvement and informs strategic decisions.
- This system significantly enhances operational efficiency, tool accountability, and compliance within manufacturing and maintenance environments.
Logistics Management & Control
- Ubisense optimizes material and parts management workflows with real-time tracking and digitization capabilities. Key processes include inventory receipt, storage, picking, kitting, and kit inspection, with tools and parts tagged using RFID, barcodes, RTLS, and GPS for secure tracking and accurate location monitoring.
- Technicians can book materials through an app and receive real-time updates on material readiness, transit progress, and delivery, while transportation managers gain centralized control over delivery requests and operations.
- Automated and semi-automated checks improve inventory control and Kanban processes, eliminating errors in storage, picking, or delivery. Digital delivery requests and a driver app streamline transportation workflows, enabling visibility and error-proofed handovers. The system also generates audit trails and historical data, ensuring traceability and compliance while optimizing inventory flow and reducing waste.
Enhance MES/ERP/PLM Systems
- SmartSpace brings visibility of the physical world to planning, management and control systems (MES, ERP, PLM), making real-world processes involving moving assets visible and measurable.
- Bridging Data gaps between MES, ERP, PLM
- Spatial and situational insights through open API’s
