Our Story

Building the intelligent
industry since 2015.

From the lab bench to Brazil's largest industrial complexes — a journey of innovation with purpose.

The Beginning

An idea born from industry, for industry.

Ubivis was conceived in 2015 by Paulo Henrique Garcia de Souza, a chemical engineer who graduated from UFSCar with a master's degree in International Management from HEC Montréal. After working in industry and at major telecom companies in the United States, Paulo returned to Brazil with one conviction: the quality function could be fully automated.

In 2016, the idea became a product. Selected by Senai's Industry Innovation Call, Ubivis's first machine data reader was launched — and quickly proved a strong fit with Industry 4.0 concepts. The market responded. The company shifted toward advanced manufacturing and has never stopped growing.
