ADNOC introduces an innovative robotic arm to revolutionize the refueling experience. This cutting-edge technology aims to enhance convenience for drivers while boosting staff productivity and reducing wait times.

Set to be launched by the end of the year, the robotic arm is currently undergoing a pilot phase at Al Reem Island in Abu Dhabi. It's part of ADNOC's ambitious five-year strategy to elevate the car filling-up process to new heights of efficiency and ease.

We're proud to announce the launch of our robotic fueling arm pilot in Abu Dhabi during UAE innovation month. Pioneering the future of AI-driven customer experience enhancements. A first in the region and first to be certified and tested to operate during the hot summer climate. pic.twitter.com/d4j27tXbSm — ADNOC Distribution (@ADNOCdist) February 11, 2024

What makes this innovation stand out is its certification and rigorous testing, marking a first-ever in the region for fuel stations. Powered by artificial intelligence, the robotic arm seamlessly fills your car's petrol tank, adjusting fueling based on your habits, all while providing precise fuel amounts through a dedicated application.

Here's how it works: Drivers simply arrive at the ADNOC station and select their fuel type using a touchscreen interface or the mobile app. The robotic arm, equipped with a specialized nozzle, then aligns with the tank opening using advanced sensors to extend towards the vehicle.

Once in position, the arm smoothly inserts the nozzle and pumps fuel into the vehicle, monitored by sophisticated sensors and cameras for safety and efficiency. And when the refueling process is complete, the robotic arm gracefully retracts the nozzle, signaling to the driver that it's time to hit the road.

With this groundbreaking technology, ADNOC is not only streamlining the refueling process but also setting a new standard for innovation in the region's petrol stations.
