Ambient IoT · Cellular-native
Batteryless visibility. Ubiquitous by design.
ecoUbi is developing a cellular-native Ambient IoT platform that gives organizations room-level visibility of reusable and high-churn assets using energy-harvesting tags, advanced signal detection and cloud intelligence designed for enterprise control.
Make assets easier to find, inventory more automatic and connected operations less dependent on replaceable batteries, manual scans and proprietary reader infrastructure.
Research-led · Canada-first · Designed for global scale
The Opportunity
Billions of objects need visibility. They should not all need batteries.
Asset visibility still comes with difficult trade-offs. Manual and barcode-based processes require people and line-of-sight. Active trackers create battery replacement, maintenance and end-of-life burdens. Dedicated reader networks can add infrastructure, cost and complexity.
ecoUbi is developing a lighter architecture: energy-harvesting tags that interact with compatible 4G/5G signals, software that detects their signatures, and a cloud platform that turns those detections into useful asset events.
The Platform
From ambient radio energy to operational intelligence
A platform, not simply a tag — four layers designed to work together within compatible cellular environments.
ecoTag
An energy-harvesting tag designed to reflect a distinctive signal without a replaceable battery.
ecoDetect
Signal-processing intelligence designed to separate weak tag signatures from the surrounding wireless channel.
ecoCloud
A cloud software layer designed to convert detections into enterprise-controlled asset identities, room-level location events, analytics and APIs.
See more. Scan less. Maintain less.
Automatic visibility
Create asset presence and movement events without relying on every item being manually scanned.
Fewer battery burdens
Reduce dependence on replaceable batteries and their maintenance cycles.
Lighter infrastructure
Reduce reliance on separate proprietary reader networks by integrating with compatible cellular environments.
Operational insight
Turn raw detections into inventory status, room-level location and workflow analytics.
Enterprise control
Keep asset identities and operational data governed by the organization using them.
A path to scale
Combine low-complexity tags with software, APIs and cellular ecosystem partnerships.
Industries
One platform. Multiple physical worlds.
Designed first for indoor, high-churn operations — reusable asset visibility, inventory automation and workflow intelligence.
Agri-food
Improve visibility of reusable crates, totes, pallets and handling assets across packing, storage, processing and distribution environments.
Pharma & life sciences
Support controlled-facility workflows with room-level visibility of reusable containers, cages, equipment and other non-patient assets. ecoUbi does not claim regulatory compliance or suitability for a validated regulated workflow until a deployment has been assessed and qualified.
Smart facilities
Locate shared tools, maintenance items and mobile equipment while reducing manual searches and fragmented records.
Sustainability
Ubiquitous intelligence should not create ubiquitous waste.
ecoUbi's sustainability ambition is to make more objects digitally visible while reducing the battery, maintenance and infrastructure burden per connected asset. The next generation of IoT should not require a disposable battery in every object, or a new reader network for every application.
Harvest energy
Design tags to operate without replaceable batteries wherever conditions allow.
Reuse infrastructure
Build toward compatible cellular environments instead of assuming a separate reader network for every application.
Extend asset life
Help organizations recover, reuse and circulate physical assets for longer.
Design for lifecycle
Evaluate materials, durability, manufacturing, repairability and end-of-life options.
Measure outcomes
Compare deployments against defined baselines — batteries avoided, scans reduced, assets recovered.
No green claims without evidence
Actual impact depends on tag design, deployment scale, infrastructure, asset recovery and end-of-life management. ecoUbi will report environmental benefits only when credible measurement supports them.
Pilots & Partners
Help define the future of Ambient IoT
ecoUbi is seeking Canadian pilot environments where asset visibility matters and current tracking methods create too much labour, maintenance, waste or infrastructure complexity — alongside technology and research collaborators. No partnership is implied to currently exist.
Feasibility
Define the asset, workflow, environment, required outcome and business case.
Controlled validation
Test detection, tag placement, coverage, event quality and operational fit.
Operational pilot
Connect selected workflows, dashboards or APIs and measure results.
Scale plan
Define network integration, tag supply, security, support and deployment economics.
