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.
