UBQcontrol — field & fleet

Custom system engineering for field and fleet. Monitor vehicles, sensors and tasks in real time.

Everything you need for your field and fleet ops. And nothing you don't.

We build custom control, communication and sensing systems for field and fleet operations. We design and build what you need — to work with what you already run.

What we do

We design, build and deploy solutions that fill the gap between what your systems currently do and what they need to do.

We can integrate a wide range of capabilities — deep-field communications, remote sensors, telematics, wrist-mounted tasking, AI support, monitoring and alerting — working alongside your existing estate, and tailored specifically to your needs.

Tasking — control, outbound

Task anything, anywhere, anyhow.

Anything
A person, a crew, a vehicle, a fixed asset — if it can be addressed, it can be tasked.
Anywhere
Including deep field, past the edge of signal, with the acknowledgement brought back.
Anyhow
The instruction meets the operative on the surface that fits — wrist, handheld, screen — with the knowledge to do it right and the record that it was.

Telemetry — knowing, inbound

Know where everything is and what it's doing.

People
Position, status, readiness — one map.
Vehicles
The fleet as live units, not a spreadsheet checked at day's end — position and engine health.
Sensors
Measurement from wherever it matters, arriving centrally. A person, a van and a water probe are all just units on the same board.

Capabilities

Designed specifically for what you need

We integrate and customise existing off-the-shelf devices — and we design and fabricate specialist kit in-house.

Deep-field communications

Instructions out and data back where there's no signal and no infrastructure — across a site or across a moor.

Remote sensing — outdoors

Weatherproof sensors reporting from wherever matters: rivers, rooftops, sites, coastlines.

Remote sensing — indoors

Small, battery-powered sensors for rooms, stores and plant — readable on the device and on the console.

Telematics

Vehicles as live units: position, movement and engine health on the same screen as everything else.

Wrist-mounted tasking

Jobs, instructions and confirmations on the worker's wrist — built for gloves, noise and busy hands.

AI support

Decision support at the level you choose — from suggestions only to handling the routine, with people in charge.

Monitoring & alerting

Monitor vehicles, sensors and tasks in real time, and get notified if anything is wrong.

Tell us what you need

A sentence or two is plenty — “we need to track our plant across three sites,” “we need to know the temperature in forty rooms,” “our vehicles and our job system don't talk.” Tell us the gap, and we'll come back with how we'd fill it. That's where the conversation starts.

Everything we build is tested in the real world — on real drives, real terrain and real weather — before it's yours. Ask us to show you.
