Omnix International, a long-standing enabler of digital transformation, has announced a significant expansion of its digitization portfolio aimed squarely at the manufacturing sector. The initiative is designed to help regional manufacturers navigate pressing global challenges and accelerate their transition towards the human-centric, resilient, and sustainable production models envisioned by Industry 5.0.
The move comes as manufacturers across the Middle East grapple with a confluence of pressures, including volatile supply chains, escalating energy and operational costs, and persistent skilled labor shortages. In response, Omnix is positioning a suite of integrated solutions to help companies evolve from traditional, fragmented operations to agile, data-driven, and predictive ecosystems.
“As a long-standing provider of solutions to the manufacturing industry, we see that many companies are under pressure to work towards incorporating faster, smarter and more sustainable solutions,” said Walid Gomaa, CEO of Omnix. “Our goal is to help them reimagine production through intelligent digitization where the focus is not only on automating processes but moving away from a fragmented production ecosystem to one which is integrated, predictive and human centric.”
Omnix’s expanded initiative is built upon a modular framework, allowing for tailored deployment across diverse sectors including automotive, aerospace, electronics, and oil & gas. The core offerings include:
- Advanced Design-to-Production Workflows: Integrating 3D design, engineering-grade simulation, and CAM tools to shorten product development cycles.
- Smart Factory Enablement: Leveraging IoT for real-time connectivity between machines, systems, and personnel to enable predictive and autonomous operations.
- Immersive Technologies (XR): Utilizing extended reality for advanced workforce training, remote expert support, and collaborative design visualization.
- Digital Twin & Simulation Platforms: Creating virtual replicas of physical assets for real-time monitoring, process optimization, and predictive maintenance.
- Connected Manufacturing Analytics: Applying AI and machine learning to operational data for proactive decision-making and improved throughput.
A key differentiator, according to the company, is its ability to converge these diverse technologies—immersive design, simulation, AI-powered automation, and real-time operational visibility—into a single, interoperable framework specifically adapted for the Middle East’s industrial landscape.
“We see value being provided by offering solutions that can help bridge our customers’ physical and digital needs and help them raise their decision making capabilities, increase operational efficiency and strengthen their work-force productivity,” noted Rizwan Kareem, Business Unit Manager for Industry Support Solutions at Omnix. “Our strength lies in unifying design, automation, AI and XR into a single platform that helps customers achieve their strategic goals.”
While elements of the portfolio have been proven in previous deployments, Omnix is currently rolling out integrated pilot programs at key client sites. The new capabilities will be showcased through a series of targeted industry events and live demonstrations across the UAE, KSA, Qatar, Kuwait, and Oman.
This strategic push into high-tech manufacturing also marks a significant expansion for Omnix, which has deep roots in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) and government sectors. With this initiative, the company aims to solidify its position as a cross-industry digital innovation enabler, fostering a regional ecosystem of technology partners and academic institutions to prepare the workforce for the next generation of industrial technology.
