CAMBRIDGE, England,
September 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/
--
Ubisense Group Plc ("Ubisense" or the "Company") (LSE:UBI), the
real time, location based lean manufacturing solutions company, is
pleased to announce the expansion of its installation with Hyundai
Kia in Asia.
This phase two expansion follows the success of the pilot
installation deployed just two months ago to their assembly line
manufacturing plant in South
Korea.
Richard Green, Ubisense Chief
Executive Officer, said that Hyundai's decision to increase its
RTLS installation reinforces their previous deployment decision and
emphasizes growing traction Ubisense's solution is receiving around
the world.
"We took the decision to expand into the Asia Pacific region to focus initially on the
automotive industry, within which South
Korea represents a significant opportunity. We are therefore
particularly pleased to strengthen our relationship with Hyundai
Kia further," Mr Green said.
"Ubisense now supplies RTLS products and solutions to eight of
the top fifteen automotive manufacturers globally. Hyundai Kia is a
great example of the way in which our customers start using our
products, subsequently rapidly request further coverage across the
original plant, and then to the rest of their plants globally. By
building such close relationships, we continue to innovate and
increase the value we add to our customers over the long term."
Ubisense's RTLS solution is already deployed under a global
license agreement with BMW and installed in their plants across
Europe, Asia and North
America.
