Following the success of the Ubudu SDA to help companies keep their employees safe during COVID-19, Ubudu has adapted its solution to be able to measure real-time and precise distance between pedestrian workers and moving vehicles to prevent collisions from happening.

Hospitals can sometimes appear as real labyrinths for patients and visitors: many services present in the same place, spread over several floors, with a lot of traffic in the aisles; it is easy to get lost. Moreover, for medical staff, guiding visitors and patients can become a laborious and especially time-consuming task, as the time used to give directions to patients and visitors could be better spent providing care. It is therefore important to guide them as best as possible in order to make their hospital experience more pleasant, but also to limit the risks of delays that can impact the whole activity of the services.

Whilst MES is becoming mainstream in production facilities, there is often a need to input data manually in the MES to be able to make the most out of such system. Integrating RTLS to MES ensure data on where work orders are in real-time and how long they spend in each workstation is automatically and precisely inputted into the MES.

In addition to sometimes lacking financial resources, the management of medical equipment often represents an obstacle to the hospitals’ optimal functioning. According to a Frost & Sullivan study, an average of 20% of equipment is lost each year, representing additional costs to replace them. Robberies are also sometimes observed. For instance, on December 24th 2020 at Poissy Hospital (Yvelines), a theft of five ultrasound machines with a total value of 500,000 Euros unfortunately took place.

As France is facing the third wave of coronavirus, the daily number of cases registered is still growing. On the 19th of April, a total of 2066 infected patients were admitted in French hospitals and 502 new patients in ICU (Intensive Care Units), twice more than the day before. Facing this increase of cases in the hospitals, and despite the “Plan Blanc” deployed in France, doctors are getting more and more worried. In Paris, hospitals are overwhelmed by new cases. Numerous questions are ahead of us: do we have the number of beds to welcome new patients with Covid symptoms and without? Will ICU have enough oxygen equipment for the new cases presenting respiratory distress?

François Kruta, Ubudu CEO & Co-Founder, and Christophe Nicolaï, IT director at Paris Saint Joseph Hospital Group, were the guests of Thomas Hugues’s TV show called Ecosystème on B-Smart TV.

During this fireside chat, François Kruta goes back to the creation of Ubudu in 2011, which started from a B2C model before quickly pivoting to a B2B model with a complete hardware & software solution developed entirely by Ubudu.

Ubudu has been selected as one of the 2020 Top 10 Healthcare Startups in Singapore by SwiftNLift professional magazine.

With the outbreak of covid 19, companies are looking for ways to keep their businesses running and protect their employees from the virus. Ubudu has therefore developed Social Distancing Assistant.

Ubudu is glad to announce new partnership with Qonda System in Singapore to accelerate the deployment of Ubudu Real-Time Location System to healthcare, distribution and industrial automation sectors.

Major challenges in hospitals, especially during pandemic crises, are related to lack of visibility and traceability of patients and medical equipment.

Airports are relying more and more on automation technologies to offer a seamless passenger experience. At the same time, flight delays must be managed thoroughly by optimising airside operations. This can be achieved by leveraging RTLS to locate and utilise efficiently and safely equipment and vehicles required for performing airside activities such as catering, luggage / cargo handling or aircraft maintenance.

When considering Bluetooth-based Real-time Location Systems (RTLS) installations it is common to anticipate that they will be able to cover areas which are moderate to small. Bluetooth 5 brings a new feature to reconsider the status quo and allows to cover large sites with much less hardware infrastructure, up to the point of assets being tracked outdoors.

The lasting demand for commercial aircrafts requires both manufacturers and suppliers to increase their production capacity. A leading metal parts supplier decided to tackle this challenge by implementing a work order tracking solution, which would not only reduce waiting time between steps, but also provide a better visibility on the overall operations.

RTLS is often associated with “expensive” and “complex” in the minds of industrials. But technology adoption by the consumer markets changed everything, and provides now industrials with the opportunity to deploy an asset tracking solution with a sub-year ROI.

Slingshot@Switch organized by Enterprise Singapore and Startup SG in collaboration with Agorize gathered the Top 100 Global Startups.

Location tracking of medical equipment, staff and patients enables hospitals to generate operational gains in the millions of euros. It helps staff to save time in order to provide better care. Ubudu indoor location solution helps improve several operational processes using a single and small investment.

The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) announced that its next release, coming late 2016 to early 2017, will be called Bluetooth 5 and will include significantly increased range, speed, and broadcast messaging capacity. Extending range will deliver robust, reliable Internet of Things (IoT) connections that make full-home and building and outdoor use cases a reality.
