The award recognises EGA’s role in transforming industries through advanced digital capabilities, homegrown technology, and Industry 4.0 applications to enhance efficiency and sustainability.
EGA launched its digital transformation in 2021 to further increase its competitiveness, agility and flexibility, as well as enhance safety and sustainability. EGA’s Industry 4.0 programme has delivered some $120 million in financial impact through the implementation of more than 80 Industry 4.0 use cases, ranging from using artificial intelligence vision to quality check carbon anode production in real-time, to predictive tools for market movements in key commodities.
EGA has developed its own aluminium smelting technology in the UAE for more than 30 years. EGA’s technology development, and earlier work since 1980, has reduced the amount of electricity required to make each tonne of aluminium by 37.5 per cent.
