UMD is Australia's leading IoT and RFID engineering company, delivering end-to-end solutions across the Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) industry, providing operational visibility of assets and inventory.

Since 1983, Unique Micro Design (UMD) has been "passionate about enhancing customer experience to form long term partnerships using emerging technologies".

We do this by solving customers’ needs for productivity improvement by adding real time visibility and control to software and Physical-AI, using Edgeware, IoT and our engineering IoT solutions skills; which reflects our "Unique" ability to integrate:

• Data capture products
• RFID/IoT and sensors
• UMD Value added Engineering (systems, software & design)

In summary, UMD provides a "full-stack" data capture solution by adding "eyes and ears" to software.

We help organisations add eyes and ears to their software — giving enterprise systems real-world awareness through automated data capture, intelligent devices, and edge-to-cloud integration. This enables companies to:

• Improve productivity through automated data capture
• Access specialised custom and standard electronic products
• Adopt Physical AI and Industry 4.0 / 5.0 practices

Physical AI and Industry 4.0 / 5.0 are about connecting edge technologies — RFID, IoT, sensors, machine vision, and terminals — to enterprise software, allowing AI and autonomous agents to deliver insights, automate workflows, and strengthen operational resilience.
