Agility has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Huawei, a provider of information and communications technology and infrastructure, to develop solutions for smart campus services at Agility Logistics Parks (ALP) facilities in Kuwait and other locations.
The agreement was exchanged by official representatives from both Agility and Huawei sides, and is said to represent the first step towards equipping ALPs with centralized information and communications technologies (ICT) and services that can transform ALPs into smart industrial campuses.
Smart campuses use next-generation technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) among others that will improve operational efficiency; enhance cybersecurity and physical security; and optimize movement of goods.
The agreement includes evaluation of technologies and systems that will help manage visitor management and vehicle entrances; create “smart streets” covered by Wi-Fi; and improve safety at the ALP complexes.
ALP and Huawei teams aim to work to identify the requirements for solutions and innovations that will best optimize operations at each facility. ALP aims to increase management efficiency, decrease operational costs, present customers with a better service experience, and provide stronger security while generating less energy waste. Agility has commenced implementing these technologies at its logistics park in Mina Abdullah.
Nader Sakeen, CEO of ALP Kuwait and GCC, stated :“Working with a leader in ICT technologies will give ALP an edge and enable us to provide customers with unparalleled services at our facilities. Agility’s goals are in line with the ‘New Kuwait’ 2035 vision, which aims to boost Kuwait’s industrial, logistics, crafts and workshops sectors by providing the right business landscape and ecosystem.”
