Ducab launches DuTrack
Dubai-UAE: Ducab Group, an end-to-end energy solutions provider and one of the UAE's leading industrial institutions announced the launch of DuTrack during World Utilities Congress, a new technology project marking a leap forward in manufacturing efficiency in the Middle East.
As a first-of-its-kind solution, DuTrack will take efficiency to a new level by detecting the precise location of the cable drums, knowing the consumption of the cable meters that were consumed and the balance remaining on the drum. This reduces the time needed to locate drums and optimizes drum movements.
Providing actionable insights from Internet of Things, data analytics and digital solutions, DuTrack enables Ducab to achieve higher levels of operational efficiency and production quality through enhanced inventory control.
Charles Mellagui, CEO of Ducab Cables Business, said: 'DuTrack is a pillar of Ducab's innovation strategy, highlighting our commitment to customer-centricity while embracing cutting-edge Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies; fully aligned with the UAE's National Strategy for Industry and Advanced Technology. By providing precise insights into drum locations, movements, conditions; this technology empowers customers with greater visibility and control over their supply chain operations. With DuTrack, Ducab sets a new standard for reliability, efficiency, and transparency in the industry, enhancing the quality and overall experience for its clientele.'
The state-of-the-art tracking system has smart features such as multi-carrier connectivity, accelerometers, gyroscopes and digital compasses as well as ambient sensors with internal thermometers, a fully integrated global navigation satellite system.
DuTrack's advanced capabilities extend past location tracking, offering a comprehensive suite of features designed to optimize manufacturing processes and enhance productivity. It also offers delivery tracking, drum and cable geolocations and real-time inventory visibility. Additionally, it identifies empty drums for pick up and monitors drum condition in real time.
With DuTrack Ducab Group cements its position as a leader in the realm of energy solutions; as the industry embraces the transformative power of technology, Ducab Group remains committed in its promise to driving progress and delivering unparalleled value to its customers.

Bahrain issues public guidance following US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites
Bahrain, home to the US Central Command's regional base, issued public safety guidance on Sunday in the wake of American strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. The Gulf nation is strategically close to Iran. It hosts US personnel and military officials and established ties with Israel several years ago. "In light of recent developments in the regional security situation, we urge citizens and residents to use main roads only when necessary, to maintain public safety and to allow the relevant authorities to use the roads efficiently," an Interior Ministry statement read. Manama also said 70 per cent of government employees, including those in ministries and government agencies, will work from home, starting immediately, following the US attacks. Emergency staff are excluded from the order, Bahrain's Civil Service Bureau said. "A remote working system will be activated across ministries and government agencies, with a 70 per cent work-from-home capacity," the official Bahrain News Agency said after the US bombed Iran. Nearly 9,000 defence personnel are stationed in Bahrain, including military and civilian staff. The US Navy's Fifth Fleet provides security to ships and aircraft in the region. Kuwait emergency plan In a similar development, the Kuwaiti Finance Ministry said on Sunday it has activated its emergency plan to ensure the continuity of financial and service operations with high efficiency. The measures included preparing shelters in the building of the ministries' complex, which will accommodate about 900 people, and providing warehouses to be used when necessary. Kuwait hosts a major American military base, Camp Arifjan, which is south-east of the capital, Kuwait city. It was established in 1999 and provides primary logistics for US military operations across the region. Iran has previously threatened to target US military bases in the region if Washington intervened on Israel's side. Bahrain and other Gulf states also lie near Iran's Bushehr nuclear reactor, which has reportedly been the target of Israeli strikes. Their proximity, just across the narrow waters of the Gulf, has raised regional security concerns, especially amid fears of radioactive fallout or wider escalation.

Dubai Basketball to join EuroLeague as 'dream becomes a reality'
Dubai Basketball will join the EuroLeague on a five-year contract from September 2025, just a year after being founded. The competition, regarded as one of the toughest basketball leagues in the world, announced its expansion from 18 to 20 teams in late May. Dubai Basketball has now been confirmed as one of the two new teams to secure a slot to play in the 2025/26 EuroLeague season. In a stellar debut campaign in the ABA League – where the team reached the play-off semi-finals before being halted by Partizan – Dubai Basketball showed the huge potential for the sport in the emirate. Not only did they excel on the court, they made the Coca-Cola Arena their home, attracting crowds in excess of 5,000 fans. 'I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the leadership of Dubai and the Dubai Sports Council for their unwavering support,' Abdulla Saeed Juma Al Naboodah, chairman and Founder of Dubai Basketball, said. 'Their vision and commitment have been instrumental in making the success of Dubai Basketball possible.' The team, under the stewardship of head coach Jurica Golemac, will now take a huge step forward in a competition boasting the elite of European basketball. The move also deepens the UAE's ties with the EuroLeague, with the 2025 finals having been staged at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi in May. Istanbul giants Fenerbahce were crowned champions in front of a sold out arena on Yas Island. As well as Fenerbahce, Dubai Basketball will face the likes of Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Panathinaikos and Olympiacos as the club brings top-tier European basketball to Coca-Cola Arena from September 2025 to June 2026. Co-Chief Executive Officer Dejan Kamenjasevic said this latest step follows years of hard work to get the project off the ground. 'Dubai Basketball is not an instant project – it has taken us years to reach the point we are in today,' he said. 'But it brings me great pride to say that this team is an instant success [on the court]. Credit goes to our coaches, players and all Dubai Basketball employees who worked hard to convert this dream to a reality. 'Now, with EuroLeague ahead, we have even more to show. We're building something this city has never seen before, and we're excited to make history while growing the Dubai Basketball family.' In just their first season, Dubai Basketball attracted a total of nearly 80,000 fans to Coca-Cola Arena, paving the way for a new era for the sport in the emirate. That fan base is expected to grow next season, with the team's home arena boasting a capacity of 15,000 in its basketball format. Fans can register to attend 2025/26 season games through the Coca-Cola Arena website, with full season passes available in July.
