Know where everything is, without counting it by hand.
We put tags on the things you need to track, install readers and gateways in the rooms they move through, and run uCAAT 2.0, the software that shows you which room each item is in. When something leaves a room it should not, that room turns red and the right people get an alert.
We reply within one business day.
The software behind every project
uCAAT 2.0 is ours. Your team uses it in a browser or as a Windows app, and we use it to set up, watch and look after your system. These are its main screens, with demo data.
| STATUS | NAME | CODE | ZONE | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OK | Pallet 1182 | PL-1182 | Bays 11 to 20 | |
| ALERT | Case 0417 | CS-0417 | Loading dock | |
| OK | Carton 88-301 | CT-88301 | Store room B | |
| DUE | Tote 5520 | TT-5520 | Receiving | |
| LOST | Display case 12 | DC-0012 | Store room A | |
| NEVER | Label printer | LP-0002 INCOMPLETE | - |
Which room is it in right now?
Your floor plan, with each room drawn as a zone. A gateway in each room hears the tags inside it.
- Search for an item, and the room it was last heard in lights up blue.
- When a rule is broken, the room flashes red and the alert bar opens.
- Each room shows how many tagged items are in it.
How do things stand today?
The first screen after sign-in: the site in a few numbers and charts, and every open alert.
- Items nobody has seen for a week turn amber. Open alerts turn red.
- Where items are, zone by zone, and how busy each day was.
Where is this item, and when was it last seen?
One list of everything you track, in your own words. A museum calls them objects. A plant calls them tools.
- Filter to what needs attention: due for a check, signal lost, or never checked.
- Hold a tag on a desk reader and its row lights up. An unknown tag offers to add a new item.
When does someone need to know?
Rules are built from menus. The sentence under them reads back exactly what the rule will do.
- An important alert turns the top bar red, beeps and emails the people on the rule.
- Choose an item, a type or every item, then what counts: entering a zone, leaving one, moving without an approved transfer, or going unseen.
Is every gateway and reader working?
Each one reports in regularly. When one goes quiet, the page says so, and so do we.
- Plug a desk reader into the computer and press Find readers.
- A reader that stops reporting is flagged with what to check first.
The questions people ask a dozen times a day
Most sites answer these by walking the floor or checking a spreadsheet someone updated last month. A tag and a gateway answer them from the moment an item moves.
Where is it?
Search for an item, and the room it was last heard in lights up on your floor plan, with the time.
Did it move?
Each move is logged with the room it left and the room it entered. If a person scanned it, their name is on the entry too.
How many are there?
A handheld reader counts a stock room in one walk-through, without opening boxes or lifting anything down.
Is everyone out?
During an evacuation, the muster board shows who has checked in at each muster point and who has not.
From a tag on the shelf to a line in your report
There are four ways to tag things, and each suits a different job. Pick one to see it at work in a building. Everything after the tag is read happens in uCAAT 2.0.
Tags with a small battery, heard by a gateway in each room. You always know which room an item or a person is in. Staff ID badges work the same way.
Tags with no battery. They charge up from the radio signals around them: a small power unit in the room, and Wi-Fi and phone signals already in the air. Once charged, a tag sends its number and the gateway hears it. Built for thousands of items.
Labels with no battery. The reader's radio wave powers the label for an instant, and the label answers with its number. A handheld counts a whole room in one walk, and readers at doors log every item that passes.
Tags with a battery that send very short radio pulses. Anchors on the walls time each pulse, and uCAAT 2.0 works out where the tag is, to within about half a metre, live. Used where the room is not enough.
What we do, from the first site walk onwards
You can stop after any step. Most clients start with the site walk and a pilot in one area before deciding how far to take it.

What you can hold us to
We test before you commit
The site walk includes tag tests on your real items. If tracking will not work in your space, the report says so and we stop there.
One team from start to finish
The people who walk your site are the ones who install the gateways and answer your support emails.
You are not tied to one tag maker
uCAAT 2.0 works with tags, readers and gateways from several manufacturers. You can change hardware later and keep your history.
Your data is yours
Export everything whenever you like. When a contract ends, we hand the data over and delete our copy.
Tracking people is for safety
Badges are used for headcounts, alerts and restricted areas. We do not set up systems to measure how hard people work.
Your reports are yours to keep
The site walk report and the pilot results belong to you. If you stop after either one, you can take them to another supplier.
Common questions
What does a project cost?
It depends on how many items you track, how many rooms or sites they move through, and which tags suit them. A single store room is a different job from a refinery. After the site walk we send a written proposal that lists every piece of work, so you know what you are paying for before anything starts.
Does it show exactly where an item is inside a room?
It depends on the tag. With Bluetooth and RFID, uCAAT 2.0 shows which room or zone an item is in, and for most searches that is enough: someone walks in and finds it. Where you need the exact spot, such as in a large hall, for vehicles, or for people in a hazardous area, we use UWB (ultra-wideband). Anchors on the walls place each tag within the room, live. It needs more hardware in each room, so we use it only where the room is not enough.
Do the tags need batteries?
Most do not. Passive RFID tags have no battery at all. Bluetooth tags run on a coin cell that lasts years at normal settings, and they are what gateways hear room by room. Battery-free Bluetooth tags sit between the two.
What happens if the internet goes down?
The app keeps showing the last data it saved, and any scans you make are kept and sent once the connection is back. Alerts wait until then. For sites that cannot accept that, such as a restricted area that must alarm every time, we can install the whole system on a server inside your building.
Can we use tags or readers we already own?
Often, yes. uCAAT 2.0 works with many common RFID readers and tags, and adding a new reader type is a settings file, not new software. We check what you have during the site walk.
Tell us what you need to track.
A short note is enough: roughly how many items, how many rooms or sites, and how you keep track of them today.

- We reply within one business day.
- A short call to understand the site and what you want to fix.
- If it looks like a fit, we book the site walk. If it does not, we say so.
