Emsteel Group, in collaboration with e& UAE, has launched the world’s first private advanced 5G network in the manufacturing sector — a major step toward enhancing digital transformation, operational efficiency, safety, and sustainability across its industrial facilities.
This initiative supports the UAE’s national strategy for industry and advanced technology, “Operation 300bn,” which aims to develop a highly advanced, innovation-driven industrial sector that strengthens the nation’s position as a global, sustainable manufacturing hub.
The private 5G network provides secure and high-speed connectivity across complex industrial environments and enables the operation of smart platforms such as Asset Insight, allowing employees instant access to equipment data, maintenance records, and sensor information — thereby reducing downtime and associated costs.
Emsteel Group CEO Eng. Saeed Ghumran Al Remeithi stated that the project marks a transformative milestone in the company’s digital journey, enhancing innovation and workplace safety. Meanwhile, Masood M. Sharif Mahmood, CEO of e& UAE, noted that this collaboration reflects the company’s commitment to empowering future smart industries and supporting the local economy.
The successful pilot launch underscores Emsteel’s commitment to adopting advanced technologies to boost operational performance and solidify its position as a global leader in low-carbon steel production and sustainable building materials.
