Aamal-Backed APC Deploys AI Platform for Predictive Maintenance

Aamal Company has announced that its subsidiary, Advanced Pipes & Casts Co. (APC), a leading pipes manufacturing company in Qatar, has successfully launched the APC Maintenance Hub—an innovative artificial intelligence-powered platform designed to transform maintenance operations through advanced automation, intelligent analytics, and data-driven decision-making.

Developed in-house by APC, the APC Maintenance Hub represents a significant milestone in the company’s digital transformation journey. 

The platform integrates artificial intelligence into day-to-day maintenance activities, enabling greater efficiency, enhanced asset management, improved troubleshooting capabilities, and streamlined inventory control.

The comprehensive platform allows maintenance teams to manage machines, spare parts, maintenance records, and operational data through a unified digital environment. Leveraging AI-powered functionality, users can generate engineering drawings from images or descriptions, automatically extract technical specifications from machine nameplates, analyze maintenance issues, identify potential solutions, and access real-time operational insights.

The platform also incorporates advanced inventory management tools that automate the processing of delivery notes, invoices, and Excel-based records while helping identify suitable local and international suppliers for spare parts. In addition, its AI-powered analytics capabilities provide managers and engineers with actionable insights into machine performance, maintenance trends, inventory levels, and workforce scheduling, supporting more informed and proactive decision-making.

Commenting on the launch, Rashid bin Ali Al Masoori, Chief Executive Officer of Aamal, said:

“The launch of the APC Maintenance Hub reflects Aamal’s broader strategy of fostering innovation across its businesses and investing in technologies that enhance operational performance, strengthen competitiveness, and support sustainable growth.”

The APC Maintenance Hub also features an AI Chat Assistant that enables users to obtain instant responses to maintenance, inventory, and operational queries based on live system data, improving accessibility to information and reducing response times.

Basil Awwad, Operations General Manager of APC, added:” The APC Maintenance Hub was developed to address real operational challenges and empower our maintenance teams with smarter tools and actionable insights. By automating routine processes, improving access to information, and enabling predictive decision-making, the platform will help us enhance productivity, reduce downtime, and maintain the highest standards of operational excellence.”

The launch of the APC Maintenance Hub reflects Aamal’s broader strategy of fostering innovation across its businesses and investing in technologies that enhance operational performance, strengthen competitiveness, and support sustainable growth.

Basil Awwad also expressed his sincere thanks and appreciation to all employees who contributed to the development and implementation of the Maintenance Hub, commending the significant efforts made over the past months to complete this project. He extended special thanks to Eng. Amr Mousa, Head of the Maintenance Department at Advanced Pipes & Casts Company, in recognition of his outstanding efforts, continuous follow-up, and commitment to completing the development of the application and successfully launching it.
