SAMI Advanced Electronics Company (SAMI-AEC), a subsidiary of SAMI, is proud to announce its participation in the “IKTVA Forum and Exhibition 2025,” the region’s leading event for energy sector supply chains. Held under the patronage of HRH Prince Saud bin Nayef bin Abdulaziz, Governor of the Eastern Province, and organized by Saudi Aramco from 13 to 16 January 2025 at Dhahran Expo in Dammam, the event aims to support the growth of the local manufacturing sector and enhance its global competitiveness.
At the exhibition, SAMI-AEC will showcase its innovative and diverse solutions across the security, defense, and energy sectors. Among the featured technologies is the Data Diode, a device that offers unparalleled protection for sensitive and isolated data in critical sectors such as military, oil and gas, water, electricity, and other key infrastructure. The device ensures 100% prevention of data leakage through its unique design, which restricts data flow to a single direction.
SAMI-AEC will also present the “Raqeeb S4” smart site safety solution, powered by artificial intelligence. This advanced tool enhances workplace safety by enabling real-time data analysis and rapid response in construction sites and other work environments. Another highlight is the Under Vehicle Scanning System (UVSS), which uses AI-driven technology to generate high-resolution images of a vehicle’s undercarriage, ensuring it is free of security threats. Additionally, the company will unveil the eBariq long-range, multi-engine, hybrid-powered aircraft, featuring an ultra-durable carbon fiber body and the capability to carry heavy payloads.
Eng. Ziad Al Musallam, CEO of SAMI-AEC, expressed pride in participating at “IKTVA 2025,” stating: “Our presence at IKTVA 2025 underscores our commitment to driving innovation, enhancing local content, and strengthening the energy sector’s supply chain to achieve global excellence. This event provides a strategic platform to showcase advanced technologies that meet the growing needs of the energy sector while improving operational efficiency across various industries.”
He added, “Aligned with Saudi Vision 2030, our solutions contribute to the development of a robust technical infrastructure that drives digital transformation, strengthens the national economy, and cements Saudi Arabia’s position as a global innovation leader.”
The In-Kingdom Total Value Add (IKTVA) program reflects Aramco’s commitment to creating value across its operations. By advancing local content, enhancing supply chain capabilities, and fostering collaboration among energy sector stakeholders, IKTVA supports Saudi Arabia’s transformation into a major global export hub, in line with Vision 2030.
