Aramco and TWTG Sign Agreement

MoU Signed to Drive Digitalization with NEON IoT Sensors in Saudi Arabia's Industrial Sector

Rotterdam, 21 February 2024

TWTG, the Dutch pioneer in Industrial Internet of Things (I-IoT) solutions and Aramco, one of the world’s leading integrated energy and chemicals companies, have taken a significant stride toward advancing Aramco’s digital transformation of Saudi Arabia’s industrial landscape. At the Global Industrial Internet of Things Summit (GIITS) in Dammam, the two companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), heralding a transformative collaboration.

Aramco, known for its pivotal role in the global oil and gas industry, is embracing digital transformation as a means to enhance operational efficiency, prioritize safety, and reduce its carbon footprint. To spearhead this journey, the company established a subsidiary dedicated to designing and deploying cutting-edge digital solutions. Their objective is clear: harness the latest Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies to optimize operations and drive smarter work practices.

TWTG has emerged as a market leader in I-IoT solutions, boasting IECEx/ATEX certification for their NEON Sensors, based on LoRaWAN. Recently, TWTG secured country-specific certifications that enable the extensive deployment of NEON solutions in Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Aramco is currently testing NEON devices at sites like Khurais.
