Mastek, a global provider of enterprise AI, digital engineering and cloud transformation services, has partnered with Saudi Arabia-based Yanbu Cement Company (YCC) to modernise its production, sales and dispatch operations through Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), intelligent automation and integrated enterprise technologies. The transformation aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and Industry 4.0 initiatives, enabling YCC to build a scalable, technology-driven operating model that improves efficiency, enhances governance and delivers real-time visibility across its production-to-dispatch value chain.
As one of Saudi Arabia’s leading cement manufacturers, YCC operates one of the country’s largest cement production facilities, handling more than 10 million tonnes of cement dispatch annually and managing approximately 220,000 truck movements each year. The scale of its operations required a unified digital platform capable of streamlining processes, reducing manual intervention and improving operational control.
Under the engagement, Mastek implemented its Connected Enterprise Services framework by integrating Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP with IoT-enabled weighbridges, automated gate systems, GPS-based transit tracking and a centralised monitoring dashboard. The integrated platform provides real-time visibility from order creation through production, dispatch and final delivery, enabling faster decision-making and greater operational transparency.
The project also introduced a customer-facing digital portal that enables online order placement, live shipment tracking and integrated customer feedback. Automation across loading bays, weighbridges and security gates has significantly improved traceability, strengthened compliance and reduced manual processes. Smart loading systems and digital validation have accelerated truck movement, eased congestion and optimised resource utilisation while contributing to lower energy consumption and reduced emissions through faster turnaround times.
The digital transformation has delivered measurable business benefits, including higher revenue through improved order management and customer acquisition, enhanced production line efficiency and a two-fold improvement in truck turnaround time. Improved asset utilisation and lower equipment depreciation have further strengthened operational sustainability while creating a foundation for future innovations such as predictive analytics, smart logistics and AI-driven decision-making.
Commenting on the partnership, Ali Al Ayed, Board Member and Chief Executive Officer of Yanbu Cement Company, said the transformation has significantly enhanced operational efficiency, reduced costs and accelerated deliveries while strengthening governance through an integrated digital operating environment.
Surya Nunna, Executive Vice President, AMEA, Mastek, said the project demonstrates the company’s expertise in delivering large-scale industrial digital transformation programmes that combine intelligent automation and Industrial IoT to generate measurable business outcomes. He added that real-time visibility across production and logistics has enabled faster decisions, improved customer experience, optimised costs and strengthened operational performance.
