Let Artificial Intelligence help slash utility bills
With solar power integration on the rise, soaring electricity costs with electric vehicles becoming increasingly mainstream, SureFlow's AI Energy Suite arrives in the Gulf region with impeccable timing. It brings in control for households and businesses over consumption, costs, carbon, and climate resilience.
Once a futuristic idea, Artificial Intelligence has now become an optimizer, an energy sensor, and a guardian of sustainability. As SureFlow CEO Sebastien Dui puts it: 'We're not just digitizing utilities — we're empowering users with intelligent decisions in real-time, reducing wastage before it begins.
Our current version is targeted mainly at insurance companies in Belgium, France and the UK.
However, we have received a lot of requests from other sectors related to electricity, gas and water utilities, solar and electric vehicles.'
The flagship suite of SureFlow monitors electricity, water and gas flows, and minimizes carbon footprint with uncanny precision. At the same time it identifies wasteful patterns and delivers real- time alerts. Whether it's optimizing air conditioning, fine-tuning EV charging and solar energy inputs, the SureFlow suite ensures lighter footprints and smaller bills for consumers and businesses looking to improve their environmental impact and save on energy expenses.
Founded in 2022 in the UK, SureFlow is no stranger to innovation. But its strategic shift to establish an R&D center in Dubai to cater to the world through the ME signals more than regional expansion.
Rather it is a bet on the Middle East becoming the nerve center of smart sustainability solutions. Dubai's skilled talent, progressive regulations, and resilient economy make it an ideal springboard. As Sebastien Dui says: 'Dubai isn't just where we test innovation — it's where we invent it.'
SureFlow's AI Energy Suite has already been serving households and corporate entities across Europe. It is now finding fertile ground among UAE's facility managers and real estate developers. This is the reason that the company has received interest from solar power as well as water utilities for good reasons. The product is more than just an eco-friendly luxury as it has the ability to slash a significant portion of energy bills, which makes it a competitive necessity in an energy-conscious market.

Saudi Post–Maersk tie-up gains early momentum in Jeddah logistics hub
Arabian Post Staff -Dubai Saudi Arabia's burgeoning e‑commerce sector has taken a strategic leap forward as the landmark partnership between Maersk Saudi Arabia and Saudi Post transitions from agreement to action. Evidence is already emerging that this alliance—anchored by Maersk's newly launched Integrated Logistics Park in Jeddah—is beginning to streamline the kingdom's supply chains and attract international players. Operations in Jeddah have officially begun, with Maersk overseeing global transport, bonded warehousing, and origin-end logistics, while SPL manages express customs clearance and last-mile delivery domestically. The MoU, signed on 3 July 2025, outlines joint digital integration, combined marketing, coordinated customer service and operational efficiency. ADVERTISEMENT Industry sources suggest that several multinational online retailers are in advanced talks to leverage the new gateway. Although specific names have been withheld, analysts view the integrated model as particularly attractive to Asia‑based brands seeking fast, low‑cost market entry into Saudi Arabia and the wider Gulf Cooperation Council. Experts highlight that Maersk's global reach combined with Saudi Post's local footprint addresses major bottlenecks in cross-border trade—namely customs delays and fragmented distribution networks. SPL's national infrastructure, originally developed to support Vision 2030's economic diversification goals, now aligns seamlessly with Maersk's logistics corridors. Karsten Kildahl, Maersk's Chief Commercial Officer, previously noted that global supply chains remain unpredictable, and enhanced visibility and resilience are crucial for upstream customers. This partnership directly supports those objectives via real‑time digital tracking, automated handovers, and unified service teams. Market response has been swift. Regional logistics analysts report a 15% increase in inbound parcel volumes through Jeddah's port cluster in the past month compared to the same period last year. While other factors—such as seasonal demand shifts—are at play, the increase aligns with the ramp‑up of cross-border operations facilitated by the Maersk–SPL alliance. Customs officials in Jeddah confirm expedited clearances under a 'premium e‑commerce lane' established within the SPL framework. They say this streamlining has shaved several days off processing times for inbound B2C shipments, helping foreign brands meet tight delivery schedules. Saudi Post's International Business Sales Director, Rouni Saad, stated the arrangement 'is pivotal in streamlining cross‑border e‑commerce flows to and from the Kingdom … enhancing connectivity, reliability and growth opportunities across the region'. Maersk's Ahmed Al Olaby added that combined networks would meet the growing demand for efficient fulfilment by global players entering or expanding in the Saudi market. Consultants note that Saudi Arabia is now positioned to compete more effectively with regional hubs such as Dubai, which has long served as the GCC's principal logistics centre. With the integrated infrastructure online, analysts predict intra‑GCC e‑commerce flows will re‑route through Jeddah over the next six to twelve months. The alliance also aligns with Saudi Vision 2030, reinforcing the kingdom's commitment to modernise its logistics backbone. By linking global ocean routes with domestic delivery channels, the partnership promises smoother, faster access to consumers in a market anticipated to grow double‑digit annually in e‑commerce sales. However, questions remain around digital interoperability. The MoU commits to systems integration, but execution will depend on effective collaboration between both entities' IT architectures. Some industry insiders stress the need for standardised APIs and seamless data sharing to avoid fragmentation. Scaling services beyond major urban centres, and replicating integration in other GCC markets, pose additional challenges. Achieving cohesive bonded fulfilment across borders demands regulatory alignment and bilateral coordination.

Tech companies explore the role of robots in farming
A consortium of tech companies including Boston Dynamics and Freshwave have hailed progress in enabling 5G connectivity in rural locations as part of a UK research programme exploring robotics in farming. The technology companies are working with the National Robotarium, a global AI and robotics research institute housed at Heriot-Watt University, to develop systems using 5G to connect autonomous machines so they can perform precision agriculture tasks. Scientific crop research organisation the James Hutton Institute and testbed the Scotland 5G Centre round out the consortium which hailed a breakthrough in their work to develop robotic systems for functions including crop health monitoring, targeted fertiliser application and soil condition assessment. The consortium is investigating how 5G-connected robots could address farming challenges around costs, workforce numbers, regulation and crop demand. Portable private 5G networks are addressing the connectivity gaps typical in rural areas, the National Robotarium stated. The infrastructure is enabling robots to stream HD video and provide detailed maps of fields, with features being developed to identify disease, pest infestations or water stress faster than traditional monitoring. The National Robotarium project manager is Ruth Plant. She said the inclusion of portable 5G and robotics 'creates opportunities for precision faming that were not previously possible in areas with limited connectivity'. James Hutton Institute agritech specialist Andrew Christie highlighted the low-latency of 5G as a key factor in a drive towards 'data-driven farming practices', adding the research could ultimately deliver advances 'in swarm robotics, real-time sensors for digital twinning and active data processing through cloud computing'.
