Elsewedy Electric Expands AI Transformation with 101 Projects Across Its Global Operations
Elsewedy Electric, a regional leader in integrated energy and infrastructure solutions, has unveiled the progress of its enterprise-wide artificial intelligence (AI) transformation strategy, highlighting the deployment of AI across its operations to accelerate growth, improve efficiency, reduce costs, and strengthen innovation.
The company said its AI portfolio currently comprises 40 completed projects, 18 projects under implementation, and 43 initiatives in the development pipeline, reflecting an ambitious roadmap to embed AI into daily operations and strategic decision-making throughout the group.
Elsewedy Electric's AI strategy is built around four core objectives: accelerating revenue growth, improving operational efficiency, optimizing costs, and enhancing customer experience. These priorities are supported by a comprehensive framework focused on data governance, cybersecurity, and workforce capability development.
The group has completed the construction of its enterprise data infrastructure, achieving 100% completion of its unified data platform, which includes integrated data sources, improved data quality, centralized databases, and advanced analytics capabilities. It has also completed 80% of its AI governance framework, covering model monitoring, infrastructure management, resource optimization, error detection, and governance of generative AI systems, with the remaining roadmap extending through 2027.
Ahmed Nagm, Group Chief Marketing Officer, said AI is no longer an experimental initiative but a fundamental component of Elsewedy Electric's business strategy, with every project measured against clear objectives for revenue growth, operational efficiency, cost reduction, customer satisfaction, and return on investment.
Hazem Shatila, Head of Artificial Intelligence at the group, said organizations that successfully combine data, governance, and human talent will be best positioned to thrive in the AI era. He stressed that meaningful transformation requires redesigning business processes rather than simply adopting new technologies.
The company has developed more than 30 AI-powered applications supporting human resources, legal affairs, finance, procurement, supply chain management, project management, and industrial operations, including computer vision systems for quality control and workplace safety.
According to the company, these initiatives have reduced average process execution time by 84% across 30 completed projects, increased workforce efficiency by 47%, improved productivity by 30%, and cut workplace safety violations by 50%.
Among the most notable deployments, the Ask HR virtual assistant has improved response times to employee inquiries by 90%, saving more than 40,000 working hours annually and eliminating the equivalent workload of 19 full-time employees. An AI recruitment assistant reduced hiring cycles from seven days to just one day while lowering recruitment team costs by 80%. Meanwhile, an AI-powered legal assistant shortened document review time by 91%, reducing the review process from three hours to only 15 minutes.
Elsewedy Electric has also deployed AI-powered industrial safety systems that leverage existing surveillance cameras to monitor personal protective equipment compliance and forklift operations in real time, supporting the company's goal of achieving zero workplace safety incidents.
To support long-term adoption, the company has invested heavily in workforce development. Since March 2025, its Efficiency Multiplier program has delivered more than 50 AI training sessions to over 2,000 employees, while its AI Everyday initiative trained more than 700 employees across five locations within two months, achieving a 92% participant satisfaction rate.
Operating in 60 countries, with more than 34 manufacturing facilities and exports to over 110 markets, Elsewedy Electric said AI will remain a central pillar of its long-term strategy to strengthen competitiveness and position Egypt as a regional manufacturing and technology hub.
