Riyadh – Sharikat Mubasher: Saudi-based Zetta Technologies announced it has signed an exclusive strategic agreement worth SAR 1.5 billion with Riyadh Dynamics to accelerate the adoption of robotics and automation across the Kingdom’s manufacturing sector. As per a LinkedIn post by Zetta Technologies, the agreement was signed with the support of the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources during a ceremony held at the ministry’s headquarters in Riyadh.
The partnership aims to enable Saudi factories to adopt advanced automation technologies through a flexible subscription model that converts heavy capital expenditures into operational costs. The collaboration will offer services including Devices-as-a-Service (DaaS) and Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS), helping factories reduce capital costs by 25–30% while maintaining operational reliability of up to 99.9%.
The agreement builds on pilot projects previously carried out by the two companies across priority sectors such as food manufacturing, metals and machinery, and plastics. According to statements by both companies, one factory recorded productivity gains of up to 900%, alongside a significant return on investment with internal rates exceeding 35%.
The initiative is expected to provide integrated technology solutions to more than 4,000 factories under the Future Factories Program Initiative while supporting the goal of enabling 14 Saudi factories to meet the standards of the global Lighthouse Network of the World Economic Forum by 2030.
