du has partnered with Al Gharbia Pipe Company (AGPC) to deploy Industrial AI Vision technology across manufacturing operations in the UAE, marking a significant step toward intelligent and automated industrial ecosystems.
The collaboration, showcased at Make it in the Emirates 2026, focuses on a co-developed Industrial AI Vision Platform designed to enhance manufacturing efficiency through AI-driven quality inspection, real-time monitoring, and advanced analytics.
“du’s partnership with AGPC represents our commitment to driving the UAE’s industrial evolution through technology that delivers tangible outcomes,” said Jasim Alawadi, Chief ICT Officer, du.
The platform introduces capabilities such as visual analytics, AI-powered insights, and operational dashboards that provide end-to-end visibility across manufacturing processes, including fleet, logistics, and infrastructure. By leveraging these tools, manufacturers can improve decision-making, optimise workflows, and enhance traceability across the production value chain.
An interactive demonstration of the platform highlighted its ability to simulate real-world manufacturing scenarios using synthetic, non-confidential data. This allows industry stakeholders to explore how AI can transform operational visibility and automation without compromising sensitive information.
“The Industrial AI Vision Platform enables us to achieve new standards in quality inspection and traceability,” said Noritsugu Mifune, CEO, Al Gharbia Pipe Company.
The initiative aligns with the UAE’s broader vision of industrial transformation and economic diversification, supporting the adoption of advanced technologies across key sectors. By combining du’s digital infrastructure expertise with AGPC’s manufacturing capabilities, the partnership aims to set new benchmarks for intelligent manufacturing in the region.
The deployment also reflects a growing emphasis on sovereign AI infrastructure and locally developed solutions, ensuring that innovation is tailored to regional requirements while maintaining global competitiveness.
Through this collaboration, du and AGPC aim to position the UAE as a leader in next-generation manufacturing, where AI-driven systems enable higher efficiency, improved quality standards, and greater operational transparency across industrial environments.
