Insights
Short reads on the technologies we bring to Saudi Arabia.
3D printing in construction
Construction 3D printing builds structures layer by layer from a digital model, created in CAD software or captured with a 3D scanner. The printer reads the design and lays down successive layers of material that bond into a solid form.
From sensor to answer: how aerial data solutions work
Every aerial solution starts with a question: how healthy is this crop, where is this solar plant losing output, how much material is in this stockpile? Answering it takes four parts working together.
Before you buy a fish tank: practical tips
A fish tank brings life and calm to a room, and caring for one builds a sense of responsibility. Knowing a few basics first makes success far more likely.
How a solar cell is built
A solar cell, or photovoltaic cell, converts light directly into electricity. Most are made of silicon, a semiconductor that conducts electricity better than an insulator but not as well as a metal.
Marine aquariums: what makes them different
A marine aquarium is a closed slice of the sea, home to saltwater fish, corals and invertebrates. Interest in marine tanks has grown enormously over the last two decades as equipment has improved.
Geothermal energy explained
Geothermal energy is heat stored within the earth’s crust. The name comes from the Greek words for earth and heat. Because the earth keeps producing heat, it is a renewable source.
What is aquaculture production?
Aquaculture production is the fish, crustaceans and other organisms cultivated in marine and inland waters and in tanks, measured in tonnes and in value.
The Internet of Things and what it means for business
The Internet of Things (IoT) describes billions of physical devices connected to the internet, collecting and sharing data. Combined with automated systems, that data can be analysed and acted on without anyone pressing a button.
Learn to keep an aquarium
Spreading knowledge has been part of the business since 2009, when the founder began helping hobbyists in Riyadh start their marine aquarium journey with the right knowledge and equipment.
How sewage water treatment works
Sewage is wastewater from homes, businesses and pre-treated industry. Nature can handle small amounts of waste remarkably well, but the volumes a modern city produces every day would overwhelm it.
Plastic waste recycling
Plastic is one of the most polluting kinds of solid waste. It breaks down very slowly and harms marine and land wildlife, and global volumes keep rising.
Aquaculture in Saudi Arabia
Aquaculture is the breeding, rearing and harvesting of fish, shellfish, algae and other organisms, in coastal waters or in tanks on land. It is the world’s fastest-growing food-producing sector and already supplies over half the fish people eat.
Aluminium industry products
Aluminium is everywhere in modern life, from drink cans and phones to window frames and aircraft. It is durable, light and resists corrosion, so many alloys are used in construction for everything from cladding to structural parts.
