UgoWork is an intelligent energy system designed, manufactured and marketed for forklifts. More than a lithium-ion battery, it is a tool that relieves the pain associated with the operation of forklifts running on several shifts per day (typically more than 2,000 hours per year), in the food, pharmaceutical, retail, manufacturing and logistics.
Due to lower operating costs and environmental concerns, the electric forklift market is currently gaining shares on internal combustion. However, fleet owners are limited by the performance of lead-acid batteries and worse, waste time with a lot of dangerous handling. The undeniable advantages of lithium-ion mark a major break in the lead-acid era.
We believe that this is an era of services where critical activities are now worth outsourcing to real specialists. UgoWork has chosen to distinguish itself from traditional equipment suppliers by providing reliable and efficient energy rather than a simple battery. The business model (Energy as a Service) is therefore an important constituent of the differentiation of our offer.

Today, almost everything depends on networks. The rise of connected devices, on-line media and services, virtualization, and the advent of cloud computing place unprecedented demands on data networks. The required infrastructure has become difficult to scale and expensive to manage. The pace of technological change is only accelerating, as personal devices are becoming increasingly powerful and bandwidth-hungry, challenging existing solutions particularly at the network edge, where load balancing, service chaining, packet steering, traffic visibility are overly complex, limit throughput, degrade service latency, and are proving enormously expensive, especially for cybersecurity use cases.
In order to cope, networks need network fabrics optimized for virtualized services such as cybersecurity that can optimize traffic and scale economically.
NoviFlow believes programmable match-action technology is the key to delivering networks that can meet these challenges, and that can become key enablers of our customers’ information processing strategies. This is why NoviFlow has invested relentlessly in developing engineering and programming expertise in programmable forwarding planes, and as a consequence has become one of the world’s leading vendors of High-Performance Programmable Network Solutions, Network Operating Software (NOS), Service Programming, and Cybersecurity Optimization to network operators, data center operators, enterprises and government agencies seeking greater network performance, flexibility, cost-efficiency, and security.
Established in 2012, NoviFlow has offices in Sunnyvale, Montreal, and Seattle.
