About AIET

Do you only work with companies based in the UAE?
icon

We are headquartered in the UAE and focused on supporting industrial development in the region, but we work with global technology partners supporting the UAE, GCC and MENA.

Do you act as a reseller, integrator, or consultancy?
icon

We can operate in any of those roles depending on the project. Some clients engage us as a delivery partner, others as a technical authority or advisor.

Can you work alongside our existing automation provider or OEM?
icon

Yes — we frequently partner with machine builders, automation firms, and IT/OT suppliers where we act as the specialist engineering layer.

VISION SYSTEMS & AUTOMATED INSPECTION

How do you determine whether a vision system is viable for our application?
icon

We run a structured feasibility process based on sample testing, defect analysis, resolution modelling, lighting evaluation, and cycle-time simulation.

Can you integrate vision into existing machines or production lines?
icon

Yes. Most of our projects are retrofitted into live environments, including PLC-controlled equipment, robotic cells, and legacy machines.

Do you support deep learning and AI-based inspection?
icon

Yes — we use traditional rule-based vision, 2D/3D metrology, and deep learning where appropriate. The method depends on defect variability, sample volume, and regulatory requirements.

Do you deliver full turnkey systems, or just the software?
icon

Both. We can supply cameras, optics, lighting, enclosures, PLC/robot integration, or serve purely as the vision specialist in a wider automation project.

METROLOGY & PRECISION MEASUREMENT

What kinds of metrology systems do you work with?
icon

We support optical, tactile, 2D/3D surface measurement, profilometry, non-contact dimensional inspection, and high-accuracy QC systems for production and labs.

Can metrology be integrated into an automated production cell?
icon

Yes — we design both standalone measurement stations and fully automated in-line solutions with robotic or conveyor part handling.

Do you support calibration, validation, and certification workflows?
icon

Yes — including traceability to ISO/IEC 17025 and documentation for aerospace, defence, and medical sectors.

ROBOTICS & INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION

Do you only work with collaborative robots, or also industrial robots?
icon

We support both — cobots for flexible deployment, and traditional 6-axis or SCARA robots for higher payload, speed, or safety-rated environments.

Can you help with safety compliance and risk assessment?
icon

Yes — including ISO 10218, ISO/TS 15066, CE/UKCA, and performance-level requirements for guarding, safety PLCs, and interlocks.

Do you supply robotic hardware or only integration services?
icon

We can act as the supplier, the integrator, or the technical owner — depending on the commercial model that suits the project.

CONSULTANCY | Technical & Project Delivery

What is included in an automation or vision feasibility study?
icon

Typically: site review, sample testing, concept options, risk analysis, cycle-time models, budget estimates, ROI calculation, and implementation roadmap.

Can you help specify systems for tender or vendor selection?
icon

Yes — we build independent technical specifications and can assist in supplier evaluation, FAT/SAT witnessing, and project assurance.

Do you offer support after delivery?
icon

Yes — including optimisation, retraining, system enhancements, and long-term service agreements.
