ADNOC and Gecko Robotics have announced three agreements that will deploy robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) in their operations and boost future skills training for UAE nationals.
The agreements cover a multi-year technology deployment for ADNOC Gas and joint training programmes with the ADNOC Technical Academy (ATA).
Additionally, and the rollout of robotics and AI-powered analytics across ADNOC’s assets aims to enhance efficiency, reduce downtime and support data-driven maintenance.
AIQ, ADNOC’s joint venture with Presight, signed the first of these agreements – a multi-year partnership with Gecko Robotics to deploy the Cantilever operating system across ADNOC Gas’ assets.
A separate agreement will see ADNOC and Gecko Robotics explore the wider deployment of advanced robotics and AI-powered analytics, potential manufacturing of robotic systems in the UAE and the deployment of AI solutions for ADNOC’s operational requirements.
The third agreement is with Gecko Robotics and ATA for collaboration on training programmes.
ADNOC managing director and group chief executive officer, Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, said: “ADNOC is harnessing the power of AI and advanced technology to transform the way we work, driving greater efficiency, safety and performance across our operations.
“These three agreements mark another stop on our journey to becoming the world’s most AI-enabled energy company as we accelerate robotics deployment, empower local talent and strengthen the UAE’s position as a global hub for energy innovation.”
