AI-powered robots could dominate industrial operations in the GCC

The market is likely to grow from $6.26 billion in 2022 to $25 billion in 2030.

AI-powered robots could dominate industrial operations in the GCC as several local companies are bringing the latest AI-powered robots to market for commercial deployment, which could help the robot market GCC inspection revenue to grow 18.88 percent from $6.26 billion in 2022 to $25 billion in 2030, according to a report by Global Information Inc.a US-based market intelligence provider.

Many UAE government entities and departments have begun testing and deploying robots on a limited scale. However, the industrial landscape is about to change with the massive deployment of large-scale industrial robots. Meanwhile, Sigma Companiesa solutions provider for the energy industry based in the United Arab Emirates, has signed a partnership with ANYbotics deploy inspection robots on a large scale in the UAE’s growing energy industry, which will further automate the industrial sector.

The UAE government is also promoting the deployment of artificial intelligence and robotics in industries across the country, to make them more efficient, agile and sustainable. The global robotics technology market size was valued at $62.75 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach $189.36 billion by 2027. Rising need for automation and security in organizations and availability of affordable and energy-efficient robots efficient are driving the market, according to a report from the UAE Ministry of Economy.

“Inspection robots are used to check manufacturing processes, pipelines, transportation networks and other monitoring activities. Robotic inspection systems are very useful for monitoring industrial manufacturing processes. Robots can also collect, store and produce data about goods and services that have already been inspected. The ability of inspection robots to examine objects and locations that humans cannot see with the naked eye is one of the main drivers of market growth. “Inspection robots can be used to successfully monitor areas of objects that are impossible for humans to observe.”

said a Global Information Inc (GII) spokesman.

“In addition, inspection robots protect the safety of workers by preventing them from physically inspecting dangerous or risky situations. Additionally, data collected during the monitoring process can be organized, examined and communicated using inspection robots.”

ANYbotics said it is strengthening its presence in the Middle East, appointing Sigma Enterprises as reseller partner for the United Arab Emirates.

“Sigma Enterprises, part of the diversified private holding company Mazrui International, will increase the deployment of inspection robots in the oil and gas, energy, chemicals, metals and transportation sectors in the region. “ANYbotics’ advanced mobile robots perform autonomous inspections, asset monitoring and anomaly detection in complex industrial environments.”

a joint statement of ANYbotics and Sigma Companies saying.

“Sigma Enterprises will offer the ANYmal inspection solution, support services, customer training and technical expertise. The association and ANYmal will be exhibited at ADIPEC 2023 (International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference) in Abu Dhabi, October 2-5. Sigma Enterprises and ANYbotics have combined their expertise in automation and advanced robotics to provide unparalleled industrial inspection solutions. By leveraging local expertise, industry networks and proximity to key players through Sigma, ANYbotics can better address the specific needs of production facilities, improve customer support and build a strong position in this crucial market.”
