THE METAL INDUSTRY
-
The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), in partnership with Metal Park Investment ME, announced the establishment of a dedicated Industry 4.0 Competence Centre in Abu Dhabi.
The advanced technology hub will play a central role in accelerating the digitalisation of the metal manufacturing sector, supporting the emirate's ambition to lead globally in next-generation industrial innovation.
The Centre reflects a shared commitment to enabling manufacturers with Industry 4.0 technologies, empowering businesses to thrive in an increasingly digital and data-driven industrial landscape.
The facility spans over five million square feet within Metal Park's purpose-built industrial zone in Kezad, located approximately 8 kilometres from Khalifa Port.
The centre is exclusively tailored to the needs of the metal manufacturing value chain, offering specialised infrastructure and digital environments to enable rapid prototyping, pilot testing and scale-up for Industry 4.0 applications.
As a gateway to Abu Dhabi's dynamic industrial ecosystem, the Competence Centre will provide a robust platform for the development, testing and scaling of technologies such as robotics, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), predictive maintenance, digital twins, Al-enhanced production optimisation and autonomous logistics. The Centre will also serve as a centre of excellence for capacity building, equipping the workforce with the skills required to operate in a digitally-enabled industrial future.
