Bosch and Juffali celebrate 60 years of partnership
Bosch, a supplier of solutions and services, commemorated its more than 60-year relationship with Juffali Co., one of Saudi Arabia's largest commercial enterprises. For more than six decades, Juffali has been the representative of Bosch's automotive aftermarket and power tools business in Saudi Arabia. This milestone was marked at Juffali's headquarters, with attendees from both organizations, including Khaled Juffali, chairman of Juffali Co.; Per Johansson, vice president and board member of Bosch Middle East; and Haneen Al-Saleh, managing director at Bosch Saudi Arabia regional headquarters.
Speaking on this long-standing partnership, Johansson emphasized the mutual trust, shared values, and strong cooperation that have strengthened Bosch and Juffali's relationship over the past six decades. 'As we recognize our partnership with Juffali, I am happy about our ongoing successful collaboration and joint accomplishments. This enduring relationship enabled us to deliver innovative solutions to our customers following our company's claim 'Invented for life.''
Al-Saleh added: 'The 60-year partnership with Juffali underlines our strong collaboration and commitment to progress. By combining our strengths, we continue to support Saudi Arabia's industrial growth and contribute to the realization of Vision 2030.'
'We at Juffali are committed to supporting Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, which aims to diversify the economy and foster growth across various sectors. Our collaboration contributes to key aspects of the vision, including infrastructure development, industrial expansion, and technological innovation. We aim to continue building on our successful history and delivering value to our customers in the Kingdom,' said chairman Juffali.
The ceremony was also attended by notable figures, including Ali Dulaim, group CEO of Juffali Co.; Dana Juffali, board member of Juffali Co.; Husni Rifai, CEO of JTECO; Faisal Charara, group CFO of Juffali Co.; and Mate Muskat, CFO of Bosch Group Middle East.

How AI tech innovation has elevated the Hajj 2025 pilgrimage experience
RIYADH: As the annual Hajj pilgrimage draws millions of Muslims to Makkah in 2025, Saudi Arabia is using a powerful suite of artificial intelligence tools to ensure that this sacred journey is safer, smoother, and more spiritually enriching than ever before. In a remarkable blend of ancient ritual and modern innovation, the Kingdom is harnessing AI, biometric technologies, and digital services to overcome the logistical challenges of hosting one of the world's largest religious gatherings — from crowd control to heat management — all while preserving the sanctity of the experience. 'Saudi Arabia carries an immense responsibility in hosting millions of pilgrims,' Hatem Mandeel, managing director and co-founder of the digital transformation consultancy Tyde AI, told Arab News. 'It continues to demonstrate a strong commitment to this role through innovative approaches to event management and safety.' At the heart of this transformation is Vision 2030, the Kingdom's national roadmap for economic diversification and digital growth. This year's Hajj reflects those ambitions in action, with technologies being used to streamline everything from spiritual guidance to crowd movement. This section contains relevant reference points, placed in (Opinion field) Among the most notable are two new tools — the Smart Enrichment Assistant and the Digital Mutawwif. Developed by the Agency for Religious Affairs at the Prophet's Mosque, the Smart Enrichment Assistant provides real-time updates on prayer times, imam schedules, and locations of religious activities. Offered in numerous languages, it reduces logistical stress while deepening spiritual engagement for pilgrims. The Digital Mutawwif, meanwhile, was created by the General Authority for the Care of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque to serve as a digital companion for Umrah pilgrims. It includes navigation tools for tawaf and sa'i, a library of audio-visual supplications, and built-in ritual counters to help pilgrims stay focused and on track. These tools are complemented by the Makkah Route Initiative, a fast-track immigration service powered by biometric technology and AI. Now operating at 11 international airports in seven countries, the initiative allows pilgrims to complete visa, customs, and health checks before boarding their flights — reducing congestion on arrival. It is supported by round-the-clock monitoring systems run by the Saudi Data and AI Authority, which ensure health compliance and swift issue resolution through AI-driven analytics. Behind the scenes, more sophisticated AI platforms are addressing the enormous logistical demands of Hajj. One of the most critical is Baseer, a platform developed by the Ministry of Interior in partnership with the Saudi Data and AI Authority. Using computer vision and machine learning, Baseer tracks and analyzes the movements of more than one million worshippers a day inside the Grand Mosque. The insights help authorities predict crowd surges and prevent dangerous bottlenecks. • Smart Enrichment Assistant helps pilgrims navigate rituals with real-time updates and multilingual spiritual guidance. • Digital Mutawwif guides pilgrims step by step through tawaf and sa'i, with visual aids, supplications, and ritual counters. • Makkah Route Initiative fast tracks immigration using biometrics and AI, easing congestion before pilgrims even arrive. • Baseer tracks more than a million worshippers a day to manage crowd flow and prevent bottlenecks at the Grand Mosque. Using AI at this scale is a major milestone in event management, especially in sensitive, sacred contexts. 'Building this technology is one thing, but maintaining system reliability under high demand, ensuring data privacy and properly onboarding personnel is a whole operation in itself,' Mandeel said. Adding a more personal and interactive touch, the Kingdom has also introduced Manarah 2, a multilingual robot equipped with a smart touchscreen. It provides real-time information and guidance to pilgrims in several languages, along with a dedicated application to help non-Arabic speakers recite Surah Al-Fatiha correctly. 'This demonstrates how Saudi Arabia is taking the initiative to manage — but also elevate — the sacred journey for millions of pilgrims,' Mandeel said. 'This is a powerful example of how AI can thoughtfully enhance sacred, deeply human experiences — something more people globally should be aware of and inspired by.' With extreme heat, massive crowds, and time-sensitive rituals, the pilgrimage poses huge logistical challenges. But Saudi Arabia's strategic investment in AI is setting a global standard for how digital transformation can serve human traditions. 'This proactive use of technology not only supports the goals of Vision 2030,' Mandeel said. 'But also offers a model for other nations managing large-scale gatherings in sensitive contexts.'

Saudi Arabia's Port of NEOM installs 1st automated cranes, targets 2026 launch
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia's $500-billion giga-project NEOM has installed the Kingdom's first fully automated, remote-controlled cranes at its Red Sea port as it moves ahead with plans to begin operations in 2026. The delivery of next-generation ship-to-shore and electric rubber-tyred gantry cranes marks a key milestone in the development of Terminal 1, which will accommodate the world's largest container ships. NEOM is aiming to position the facility as a global logistics hub connecting Asia, Europe, and Africa. The facility supports Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 by contributing to economic diversification through enhanced trade, logistics, and industrial capabilities. As global supply chains shift toward resilience and efficiency, NEOM's strategic Red Sea location positions it as a vital link between Asia, Europe, and Africa. Sean Kelly, managing director of Port of NEOM, said: 'The arrival of our first automated cranes marks a tangible milestone as we lay the foundations for an advanced, future-ready port.' He added: 'We're not only accelerating industrial growth in northwest Saudi Arabia, but we're also setting a new benchmark for performance, efficiency, innovation and establishing a vital trade gateway for the Kingdom and the region beyond.' The new cranes will enable high-efficiency operations while allowing remote control from ergonomic workstations. Infrastructure developments, including a 900-meter quay wall and an 18.5-meter-deep channel, ensure the port can handle the largest vessels transiting the Suez Canal. Terminal 1 will also feature horizontal transport automation, boosting logistics capacity and regional industrial growth.

China's Magnet Dominance May Disrupt Global Car Production
The global automotive industry is entering uncertain territory as China's recent export restrictions on rare earth magnets begin to disrupt critical supply chains. Automakers across Europe, Asia, and North America are warning that continued delays in securing these vital components could soon halt vehicle production lines. German auto manufacturers have sounded the alarm, citing growing difficulties in acquiring the necessary materials used in essential components like brake sensors and electric motors. According to Hildegard Müller, head of Germany's automotive industry association, delays in export licensing and customs clearance—even for approved shipments—are already hampering parts suppliers' ability to maintain uninterrupted production. Similar concerns have been raised in the U.S., India, and Japan, where automotive firms and diplomats are engaging in urgent discussions with Chinese officials to ease the bureaucratic hurdles introduced in April 2025. This is not a localized issue. The ripple effects are global. China's move to tighten control over exports of rare earth materials—particularly magnets—has left many companies grappling with a slow and opaque permitting process. Although a few export licenses have been granted, they are insufficient to meet the demands of the global auto sector. Bosch, the German automotive supplier, described the new approval system as burdensome and time-consuming. Rare earth magnets are anything but optional in modern vehicle production. These powerful and durable magnets—especially Neodymium-Iron-Boron (NdFeB) and Samarium-Cobalt (SmCo)—are indispensable in electric motors, sensor systems, infotainment units, and climate control components. Over 90% of EVs depend on these magnets for propulsion, making them a cornerstone of automotive electrification. The magnets are composed of elements such as neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium, and terbium. While not geologically scarce, their refinement and production require specialized and environmentally taxing processes—sectors where China commands overwhelming dominance. The country accounts for 60–70% of global rare earth production and nearly 90% of global processing capacity. India's Maruti Suzuki has stated there's no immediate disruption to production, though internal sources suggest that specific models could be impacted if supply issues persist into June. The broader sentiment among automakers is one of cautious concern, with inventories thinning and contingency plans being quietly drawn. U.S. officials have expressed frustration with China's pace in granting export licenses, with the issue reaching the diplomatic agenda in recent trade talks. The Trump administration, while optimistic about progress, acknowledges that supply has not returned to expected levels. Automaker alliances in the U.S. have warned that if rare earth access doesn't stabilize soon, it could lead to significant production cutbacks—or even temporary plant closures. Looking ahead, the path remains uncertain. Will China ease its restrictions and restore the flow of materials essential to global industry? Or will it continue to leverage its dominance in rare earths as a strategic tool, further complicating the global transition to electric mobility? For now, the world's automotive sector is left waiting—watching—and bracing for impact.
