INFINITEWARE today confirmed its selection by Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), Tamkeen, and Brinc MENA for the six-month accelerator phase of Alba's Open Innovation Programme. INFINITEWARE was chosen for the Asset Reliability Challenge, one of the programme's headline tracks, where it will co-develop a proof-of-concept solution combining artificial intelligence and IoT to address asset reliability across Alba's pot lines, casthouses, and supporting infrastructure.
“Innovation underpins Alba's operational excellence. Our collaboration with Tamkeen and Brinc MENA enables us to work with Bahraini startups and SMEs to build technology-driven solutions to operational challenges, while promoting entrepreneurship and long-term economic resilience.”
Alba is the world's largest aluminium smelter on a single site. The Open Innovation Programme is a strategic collaboration with Tamkeen, the Kingdom's labour fund, and Brinc MENA, Tamkeen's appointed innovation partner, which led the end-to-end scouting and evaluation process for participating SMEs.
“Asset reliability is a domain where AI either earns its place on the floor or it does not. We are honoured to be working with Alba, Tamkeen, and Brinc MENA on a problem that has measurable operational consequences, and we intend to ship a system that holds up under real industrial conditions.”
During the accelerator, INFINITEWARE will receive financial support, tailored mentoring, and direct technical guidance from Alba and Brinc as it builds and tests the proof-of-concept on real industrial data and operating conditions. A successful pilot may proceed to wider rollout across Alba's facilities.
The selection extends INFINITEWARE's long-running focus on industrial AI and predictive maintenance, building on its work with regional energy and engineering groups. INFINITEWARE was the only Asset Reliability candidate selected in this cohort.
