UMIP Inc.

UMIP Inc. is a Dallas-based infrastructure technology and research company dedicated to developing frameworks for Persistent Infrastructure Identity (PIID). The company's core mission is to provide infrastructure assets with a permanent digital identity, ensuring lifecycle documentation continuity across various stakeholders, systems, and ownership transitions. This framework aims to address the structural absence of persistent identity systems for built assets, which UMIP Inc. identifies as a significant source of inefficiency in the global economy.

UMIP Inc.'s primary offering is the Persistent Infrastructure Identity (PIID) framework and its associated Lifecycle Registry. This system establishes a universal digital identity layer for infrastructure assets, enabling them to maintain a continuous digital record throughout their entire lifecycle, from construction and operations to risk management and changes in ownership. The company's solutions are designed to integrate with and align existing systems in residential and commercial built environments, including those used by insurance, engineering, and construction sectors, as well as government, utilities, telecommunications, real estate, and energy.

Founded by Trevor Vick, who also serves as its CEO and the architect of Persistent Infrastructure Identity, UMIP Inc. has recently made notable advancements. In March 2026, the company formally established its Persistent Infrastructure Identity Framework and released the PIID Issuance Standard v1.0, outlining how globally unique identifiers can be assigned to physical infrastructure assets. UMIP Inc. has filed provisional patent protection for its identity generation, registry mechanisms, and lifecycle state enforcement structures, and its national registry initiative is actively incorporating approximately 160 million addressable U.S. structures. The company is currently engaging with institutional stakeholders, insurance carriers, engineering firms, and builders to explore pilot programs.
