From protecting classified assets to orchestrating complex assembly lines and training environments, real-time tracking is reshaping Europe's defense and industrial sectors.
CAMBRIDGE, GB / ACCESS Newswire / August 14, 2025 / As Europe strengthens its defense infrastructure and regulatory oversight tightens in high-risk sectors (military spending surged 17% in 2024 to a record $693 billion), Ubisense, a global leader in real-time location systems (RTLS) and digital twin solutions, is one of many companies further expanding their established presence in the region. With a particular focus on the DACH markets, the move reflects how military and industrial organisations are increasingly prioritizing traceability, auditability, and operational resilience in the face of rising geopolitical and supply chain risks.
