Unlike conventional providers, the company's strength lies in delivering modular, interoperable, and future-ready solutions that are tailored for the Middle East's manufacturing landscape. The differentiating factor is the ability to converge immersive design, engineering-grade simulations, advanced automation, and real-time operational visibility into a single, scalable framework. The focus is entirely on helping customers integrate the best-fit technologies for their needs.
Rizwan Kareem, Business Unit Manager – Industry Support Solutions at Omnix, said, 'We see value being provided by offering solutions that can help bridge our customers physical and digital needs and help them raise their decision making capabilities, increase operational efficiency and strengthen their work-force productivity. It is our way of seeing manufacturers pave their path towards Industry 5.0. Our strength lies in unifying design, automation, AI and XR into a single platform that helps customers achieve their strategic goals'.
While several elements of Omnix's Digitisation in Manufacturing offerings which are built on a strong foundation of proven deployments across the region, integrated pilot environments are underway at key customer sites that are incorporating the new capabilities progressively based on specific client needs and project timelines. The solutions will be showcased through targeted engagements, live demos, and industry events across the UAE, KSA, Qatar, Kuwait and Oman.
Omnix's long-term strategy centres on building resilient and sustainable manufacturing models that are prepared not only for Industry 4.0 but for the emerging needs of Industry 5.0. The company aims to work alongside regulators, academia and technology partners to foster a regional ecosystem, enabling upskilling through immersive learning and being in a strong position to deliver full lifecycle digital services from consulting and solution architecture to deployment of change management.
This initiative also significantly extends Omnix's legacy in digitisation from its deep roots in AEC and government sectors into high-tech manufacturing transformation, making it a cross-industry digital innovation enabler in the Middle East.

How GenAI tools can cut mining maintenance costs by 10%?
Unexpected maintenance can reach up to 60% of total mine maintenance spending. But now, research has found that using generative AI (GenAI) tools can cut costs by a significant 10%. When mines deploy predictive maintenance systems, they tend to do so in isolation and rely on static thresholds. This lack of integration limits visibility and prevents coordinated responses, which erodes productivity and efficiency. Unlike traditional, fixed-schedule methods based on legacy telemetry data, GenAI solutions can synthesise structured and unstructured data to perform smart diagnostics, support real-time parts ordering, or augment in-field support. The differentiator is GenAI's ability to interpret patterns and contextualise valuable outputs from vast datasets. An orchestration layer powered by the right technology can process information from every sensor feed and every set of technician notes seamlessly, and across sites. Using this approach, we have seen mining companies increase fleet availability by 15% within six months, improve technician job effectiveness and optimise technician job durations by up to 20%. Problem areas Even the most advanced diagnostics fall short if parts are not available. Delays in remote sites can halt production, but excess stock will tie up working capital. Costly instances of reactive ordering, low inventory turnover, and weak integration between planning and procurement. GenAI addresses this by connecting asset health forecasts with real-time inventory, supplier lead times, and planned maintenance windows. Value is derived from ensuring optimal inventory of the right parts, purchased at the right time and price, to support planned and unplanned maintenance. Field technicians are on the front lines when it comes to maintenance, but are often underserved. They face complex repair issues, incomplete documentation, and inconsistent knowledge sharing - especially in multi-site operations. A conversational GenAI agent specifically for field technicians is capable of translating complex fault codes into actionable steps, leveraging historical data, and identifying relevant OEM guidance, effectively providing synthesised, asset-specific support on fault identification and resolution. GenAI can help tackle the talent challenge in the mining space by embedding learning into operations, providing junior team members with guidance while saving experts time to focus on high-value work. These applications of GenAI also reduce human error and operational risk significantly by providing step-by-step guidance, flagging safety concerns, and addressing problematic conditions before they escalate. The result is more consistent field decisions and a more agile, confident and safe workforce. Jumping on the bandwagon Taking the GenAI jump does not require digitally advanced operations; the key is just getting started. On the journey towards the autonomous maintenance ecosystems of the future, this is a crucial step. Perfect data foundations and digitally advanced operations are not required to begin reaping the rewards of GenAI integration. Even mines with low digital maturity using a tier-one enterprise asset management (EAM) system can adopt modular, pragmatic GenAI solutions that quickly demonstrate their value. However, two fundamental elements need to be in place. - The first is organisational readiness: aligned leadership and visible support from the top; building trust and localised change-management; a digital enablement culture that promotes usability; incentives for adoption linked to KPIs. - The second is certain technical foundations: cloud connection; network infrastructure; lightweight event bus or middleware for monitoring and alerts across platforms; about 12-24 months of maintenance data; security and access control. Performance gains are enhanced when integration has been carried out end-to-end. Autonomous coordination GenAI in mining is not a distant aspiration. Modular, mine-ready solutions are already available that deliver operational impact in complex, remote, and resource-constrained environments. Mining company leaders looking to unlock value from GenAI in operations can start with intent, alignment, and a plan, rather than waiting for the perfect conditions. Mining's next frontier is autonomous coordination. GenAI is already improving diagnostics, inventory, and technician workflows, but agentic AI will go further by scheduling interventions, placing orders, and intuitively escalating issues at the right moments.
