UBY

What UBY does

UBY is a private provider of IoT-enabled construction and infrastructure monitoring solutions, combining proprietary hardware sensors with a centralized SaaS platform. The portfolio spans geotechnical and structural monitoring (UBY Structure), environmental compliance (UBY Environment, including noise via the uNoise smart acoustic camera and dust via the patented uDust crystalline silica sensor), worker safety (UBY Safe, with on-site geolocation and zone-based counting), soil tracking (UBY Soil), stakeholder communication (uCom), and infrastructure asset management (uAsset). The uMonitor platform functions as the data hub, integrating geotechnical, structural, and environmental data into a single dashboard used by enterprise contractors, infrastructure operators, industry operators, and local authorities.

The company serves tier-1 European contractors and infrastructure owners including McLaren, VINCI, VEOLIA, Bouygues UK, Implenia, Colas, Eiffage, Demathieu Bard, Razel Bec, NGE Fondations, and Axione. It also pursues adjacent segments such as coastal cliff monitoring, rail track monitoring, and heritage-site vibration management, indicating an applied focus on civil works and infrastructure projects where regulatory compliance, community relations, and worker safety drive monitoring requirements.

Monetization occurs via three streams: recurring SaaS subscriptions to uMonitor, hardware sales of proprietary sensors (uNoise, uDust, and geotechnical instrumentation), and professional on-site monitoring services. Go-to-market is direct sales only, with "Request demo" calls-to-action on the website and dedicated regional offices in the UK, US, Australia, Canada, and Hong Kong. No public pricing, funding rounds, headcount figures, or revenue disclosures are available; the company operates privately with no listed parent, M&A activity, or institutional investor ownership evident in the data.

Core offering

UBY provides IoT-based environmental, geotechnical, structural, and safety monitoring solutions for construction and infrastructure projects. The company combines proprietary hardware sensors (uNoise acoustic camera, uDust silica sensor, GNSS sensors) with a centralized SaaS platform (uMonitor) and on-site monitoring services (UBY Structure, UBY Environment, UBY Safe, UBY Soil) tailored to contractors and infrastructure operators.

Product overview

UBY offers a comprehensive portfolio of construction monitoring solutions built around a central SaaS platform (uMonitor) complemented by specialized hardware sensors and monitoring services. The core uMonitor platform serves as the central data hub for geotechnical, structural, and environmental data, while specialized hardware products include uNoise (smart acoustic camera for noise monitoring) and uDust (portable crystalline silica sensor). Supporting service sub-brands cover geotechnical monitoring (UBY Structure), environmental monitoring (UBY Environment), worker safety (UBY Safe), and soil tracking (UBY Soil). Additional modules include uCom for stakeholder communication and uAsset for infrastructure asset management.
