Wearable sensors and cloud analytics integrated to monitor vibration, dust, noise and proximity risks on site.
Nottingham, England, August 18, 2025
A Nottingham-based governance, risk and compliance software company has acquired an Edinburgh wearable technology provider to combine wearable monitoring hardware with cloud analytics. The deal integrates wrist-worn and body sensors that measure vibration, dust, noise and proximity with the buyer’s EHS platform, enabling real-time exposure tracking, automated analysis and alerts. Targeting high-risk sectors such as mining, construction and manufacturing, the combined solution aims to shift safety management from reactive to proactive. The wearable maker holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and meets cyber assurance standards; financial terms were not disclosed.
A software company based in Ruddington, Nottingham has acquired a Scotland-based wearable technology provider in a deal that adds on-body sensors and cloud analytics to the buyer’s environmental health and safety (EHS) and compliance suite. The purchase price was not disclosed.
The buyer, a global compliance and risk management software firm, completed its sixth acquisition of 2025 by acquiring the Edinburgh firm that builds wearable devices and supporting analytics. The deal is presented as a way to give customers tools to monitor exposure to vibration, dust, noise and proximity to moving vehicles and machinery, and to link that on-body data to EHS management systems.
The combined offering is intended to let employers take a more proactive approach to workplace hazards. The wearable product line includes a smart watch introduced in 2022 and a cloud analytics platform that converts sensor readings into reports and alerts. Company materials describe the technology set as a complement to existing EHS and governance tools, enabling operational teams to identify risk trends, enforce exposure controls and support regulatory compliance.
The acquired firm’s hardware, marketed as connected wearables, monitors hand‑arm vibration (HAV), airborne particulates, noise levels and worker proximity to hazards. That data is processed by cloud-based analytics to produce dashboards, exposure summaries and automated workflows that can trigger investigations or corrective actions. The hardware is manufactured in the UK and the analytics platform is positioned as a connected worker information management system.
The buyer aims the combined solution at high-risk sectors such as mining, construction and manufacturing, while both firms also serve transport, aviation and other regulated industries. The acquirer’s broader customer footprint includes thousands of organizations across healthcare, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, aviation and professional services; company material states over 16,000 customers rely on its software for quality, risk and compliance needs.
The Scottish company began as a university spin-out in 2001 and developed products following the implementation of workplace vibration regulations in 2005. Its product family includes a smart watch launched in 2022 and a cloud analytics offering that together provide exposure monitoring and data automation. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and meets national cyber security scheme standards intended to support employers in meeting legal safety obligations.
The acquisition follows a recent streak of additions to the buyer’s EHS and compliance portfolio earlier this year, including a policy management solution added in June and food & beverage tools added in July, as well as a separate EHS-related acquisition announced the previous week. Company statements frame the transaction as part of a wider effort to integrate operational safety hardware with software tools used to manage audits, incidents, training and compliance tasks.
Chief executives from both organizations were identified in the announcement and senior leaders from each company will be responsible for integration planning. No timetable for technical integration, customer migration or regulatory approvals was provided. The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Combining on-body sensors and cloud analytics with EHS management software creates a direct data path from worker exposure measurements to corporate compliance processes. Employers reviewing the offering should expect to assess device rollout plans, data privacy and retention practices, certification and regulatory alignment, and how sensor output will be mapped into existing safety workflows.
The acquiring company listed a marketing communications contact by email for enquiries. The transaction and the firms’ capabilities were described in a corporate announcement issued from Nottingham and Edinburgh.
The buyer is a Ruddington, Nottingham-based compliance and risk management software company. The target is an Edinburgh-based provider of wearable monitoring devices and analytics.
No. The acquisition amount was not disclosed.
The wearable devices and analytics monitor vibration (including hand‑arm vibration), dust and particulates, noise, and proximity to moving vehicles or machinery.
Customers of the buyer may gain access to on-body monitoring data linked to EHS and compliance workflows. Details on rollout, integration timelines and pricing were not specified.
The acquired firm’s products are manufactured in the UK and the company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and meets a national cyber security assurance scheme.
The combined solution is presented as suitable for high-risk industries such as mining, construction and manufacturing, with applicability to transport and aviation sectors as well.
The acquiring company provided a marketing contact email for enquiries and maintains a public website with product and customer information.
