ADNOC Gas plc and its subsidiaries (together referred to as “ADNOC Gas” or the “Company”), a world-class integrated gas processing and sales company, has announced a multi-year agreement with AIQ and Gecko Robotics to deploy AI and robotics across its facilities, marking for ADNOC Gas and AIQ a strategic entry into robotics and edge intelligence. Gecko presented ADNOC Gas CEO Fatema Al Nuaimi with the first UAE-manufactured robot at the ENACT event held in Abu Dhabi.
The collaboration brings together Gecko’s cutting-edge robots and AI powered software platform, Cantilever, with AIQ’s expertise in deploying advanced AI models across ADNOC’s broader ecosystem to transform how industrial assets are inspected, analyzed, and maintained. The Inspection AI platform will generate over $300 million in maintenance and inspection cost savings over the next five years. The unified platform will enable predictive maintenance, reduce shutdowns, help to extend asset lifespan and improve operational efficiency.
ADNOC Gas was the first UAE client of Gecko Robotics to use their robots first in 2023. The addition of Cantilever brings Advanced AI technologies to further improve the accuracy of the inspection systems. Gecko is also exploring manufacturing robotics in UAE based on strong indications for the future demand from ADNOC Gas and across the ADNOC Group towards the usage of its robotics and AI systems.
The Cantilever platform digitizes the entire asset-integrity workflow, from inspection to decision, by integrating robotic inspection data with operational systems, process data, and analytics. The result is a single intelligence environment where engineers can visualize asset health, query performance through natural-language AI, and act on predictive insights in real time.
“Efficiency improvements, cost reduction, and safety enhancements are what we strive for in our day-to-day operations. Finding technology that delivers all three is the main aim in our AI and technology transformation journey. Integrating robotics and AI into our operations marks a major milestone in that journey. This partnership demonstrates how we can leverage cutting-edge technologies to strengthen asset reliability, enhance safety, and set new benchmarks for operational excellence across our network,” said Fatema Al Nuaimi, CEO of ADNOC Gas.
Under the three-year agreement, Gecko will lead the AI integration and predictive analytics layer with its Cantilever platform while AIQ will take the outputs of the program and deploy them to the broader ADNOC ecosystem. Year 1 focuses on joint deployment and data modeling, followed by scaled platform access and continuous AI optimization in Years 2 and 3. The program is designed to reduce unplanned outages, strengthen safety, and improve overall integrity performance across critical energy assets.
Robotics are a key element of future proofing ADNOC Gas, which aligns with its strategy to utilize AI and technology to improve efficiency in every element of its operations. Maintenance and planned shutdowns are key areas where technology can improve performance, lower HSE exposure, and reduce both time and costs.
