The plant that runs itself.

One method across the whole site. A self-healing Wirepas mesh — intrinsically safe, battery-powered, even built into the lighting — senses every worker, motor and zone. AI agents on hardware you own think over the stream: automated muster roll-calls, pre-fault alarms, energy anomalies. Automation acts — SCADA setpoints, CMMS work orders, robot missions, WhatsApp escalation. ZAMTEK develops the AI, supplies & integrates the hardware, and consults & trains. Wireless hardware is TDRA type-approved; regulated execution is delivered via licensed partners.

Intrinsically-safe RTLS

ATEX zones
Wirepas mesh + Velavu single pane — our connected-operations RTLS suite

Every worker, tool and vehicle on one live map — 500 m+ underground and deep inside steel structures, where GPS and Wi-Fi fail. Intrinsically-safe wearables deliver hazardous-zone personnel safety: sub-60-second automated mustering, lone-worker and man-down alerts, restricted-zone compliance. The same mesh carries the condition data that feeds predictive maintenance. Reference results: infrastructure cost −40–60%, downtime −20–30%, ROI in 12–18 months.

SCADA automation

IEC 62443 · SIL3
TeqnoWell — intelligent controllers, redundant central SCADA

A processing plant running equipment blind wastes energy and discovers failures as breakdowns. TeqnoWell intelligent controllers with digital sensors, a resilient field network and a redundant central SCADA — certified to IEC 62443, with SIL3-rated safety functions — delivered ~20% energy savings and 30–50% less unplanned downtime in reference deployments, with payback in 3–6 months. AI agents sit on top, turning SCADA alarms into ranked actions instead of noise.

Smart lighting = the mesh

2-in-1 install
Rugged plant & mine LED luminaires with Wirepas radios inside

The cheapest network is the one you were installing anyway. Rugged LED high-bays and mine luminaires ship with mesh radios built in — the lighting grid is the network: every fixture routes traffic for RTLS tags, gas and fire sensors and machine-condition nodes, with occupancy-driven dimming as a bonus. One retrofit delivers better light, lower energy and a plant-wide sensor backbone — no dedicated cabling, no gateway forest — the core of the 40–60% infrastructure saving.

Autonomous robots

80–2,000 kg
Delivery AMRs · L4 smart forklifts · waterless cleaning robots

Intralogistics without the forklift queue: delivery AMRs from 80 kg totes to 2,000 kg pallets and L4 smart forklifts with centimeter navigation, lift and door traversal, and WMS/MES integration — missions dispatched by the same AI-agent layer that watches the mesh. Waterless autonomous cleaning robots keep floors audit-ready 24/7 with no chemicals, no water and no night shift. Start with one route or one aisle; scale on measured cycle-time data.

The ground game: one mesh, every signal

Intrinsically safe
No cabling · No SIM cards

Under the SCADA and the robots sits the mesh — intrinsically safe, battery-powered or built into the luminaires — putting every worker, machine and zone on one live map. All wireless hardware TDRA type-approved.

Muster

Intrinsically-safe wearables on a self-healing mesh: sub-60-second automated muster instead of a 15–30-minute whiteboard headcount, lone-worker and man-down alerts, restricted-zone compliance — working 500 m+ underground and across multi-hall plants, with audit-ready OHS reporting.

MACHINES
Predict

Wireless vibration and temperature sensors clamp onto motors, pumps, fans and gearboxes — no cabling, no PLC rework — feeding SCADA over Modbus/MQTT. AI agents learn each machine's signature and flag the one that fails next, raising the CMMS work order before the breakdown: downtime −20–30% in reference deployments.

ATMOSPHERE
Detect

Battery-powered gas and fire detection on the same mesh — many nodes riding the smart-lighting backbone — with zone-aware escalation: a triggered sensor automatically starts the muster, pages the nearest responders and logs the incident timeline for regulators and insurers.

The mesh senses

Every signal, one stream

Location, vibration, temperature, gas, fire, energy — carried by a battery-and-luminaire mesh with no SIM cards, no trenching, no single point of failure. Because every light and every node is a router, the network heals around damage and keeps reporting.

The agents act

Operations that run themselves

On-prem AI agents — your hardware, your data, UAE sovereignty — turn the stream into action:

  • Muster roll-call runs itself; stragglers escalated by zone
  • Pre-fault alarms become CMMS work orders automatically
  • Robot and forklift missions dispatched from live floor data
  • Energy anomalies and gas events flagged to the duty manager on WhatsApp

Straight answers

Compliance · Safety
Deployment
Can the mesh operate in our hazardous zones?

Yes. The anchors, wearables and sensors are intrinsically safe and ATEX-certified for explosive atmospheres, and battery-powered — so they install in solvent stores, mills, paint shops and underground workings with no hot-work permits, no cabling and no dependency on plant Wi-Fi. All wireless hardware ZAMTEK supplies is TDRA type-approved for the UAE.

How can lighting be the network?

Each rugged plant or mine LED luminaire carries a Wirepas mesh radio inside, so the lighting grid doubles as a self-healing sensor backbone — every fixture is a router for RTLS tags, gas and fire sensors and vibration nodes. One installation delivers light plus the network, which is where the 40–60% infrastructure saving over separate wired systems comes from.

How does automated mustering work?

Workers wear intrinsically-safe mesh tags. When a gas or fire sensor trips, or a supervisor triggers an evacuation, AI agents run the roll-call automatically: a sub-60-second digital headcount by muster point instead of a 15–30-minute whiteboard count, with stragglers escalated by zone to responders on WhatsApp. It works 500 m or more underground, where GPS and Wi-Fi fail.

How does predictive maintenance cut downtime 20–30%?

Wireless vibration and temperature sensors clamp onto motors, pumps, fans and gearboxes and report over the same mesh — no cabling, no PLC rework. On-prem AI agents learn each machine's signature, fuse condition with location and utilization, flag the machine that fails next and raise the CMMS work order automatically. Reference deployments show 20–30% less unplanned downtime and ROI in 12–18 months.

Is the SCADA layer cyber-secure enough for critical operations?

Yes. The TeqnoWell automation stack is certified to IEC 62443 with SIL3-rated safety functions: intelligent controllers on the equipment, a resilient field network and a redundant central SCADA. Reference deployments show about 20% energy savings and 30–50% less unplanned downtime, with typical payback in 3–6 months. Work on regulated or safety-critical installations is executed via licensed partners.

Can the robots work alongside our people and our WMS?

Yes. The delivery AMRs (80–2000 kg payload) and L4 smart forklifts navigate to centimeter accuracy among people and plant traffic, handle lifts and doors, and integrate with your WMS/MES so missions are dispatched by the same AI-agent layer that watches the mesh. Waterless cleaning robots cover floors 24/7 with no chemicals and no water. Everything starts as a single-zone pilot with measured ROI.

Does our production data leave the plant?

No. The AI agents run on-premises, on hardware you own, with UAE data sovereignty as the default. Engagement is pilot-first — a 2-week proof-of-concept, then a 4–8-week single-zone pilot with measured ROI, then a phased Hardware-as-a-Service subscription with no capex. ZAMTEK develops the AI, supplies and integrates the hardware, and consults and trains your team to run it.
