iot squared launches 'Nucleus Twin' for smart operations management across sectors

iot squared, a subsidiary of stc Group and a leader in Internet of Things solutions, announced the launch of its 'Nucleus Twin' platform during its participation at LEAP 2026. The new platform is an advanced addition to the 'Nucleus' smart operations platform, featuring cutting-edge digital twin and artificial intelligence technologies.

This development marks a shift from traditional operational intelligence to spatial operational intelligence, moving from simple process monitoring to predictive readiness. It offers a comprehensive view to support more accurate decision-making, reduce risks, and improve the management of assets, destinations, and cities across the Kingdom.

Othman Aldahash, CEO of iot squared, said: "Last year, from this very stage, we showcased the features of the Nucleus smart operations platform. Today, we are proud to introduce Nucleus Twin as a new addition, combining digital twin technology, IoT, AI, spatial and operational data. This enables us to move from data collection and alert monitoring to providing actionable insights for decision-makers, empowering them to test decisions and simulate their impact before real-world implementation."

The new system allows for the creation of live models of cities, destinations, and mega-projects, providing an integrated view of assets, operations, and related data. It helps monitor changes and alerts, respond effectively, simulate operational scenarios, predict potential challenges, and proactively prepare for them.

The scope of 'Nucleus Twin' extends to cities, sectors, destinations, mega-projects, residential and commercial complexes, as well as industrial projects and facilities. It can be utilized in transport operations, traffic management, safety and security, environmental sustainability, guest experiences in tourism, energy, utilities, and emergency response.

The development and operation of 'Nucleus Twin' align with local goals and regulations, integrating with existing operational systems in Saudi projects, including IoT, building management, security, and more. It can also be deployed in mega-projects without the need for repeated aerial imaging.

The new component addresses requirements for cloud computing, cybersecurity, and national data sovereignty, supporting its deployment at critical sites. It also enables the creation and operation of digital models within a short timeframe, from satellite imagery to fully integrated live models.

The company previously showcased the 'Nucleus' platform at LEAP 2025, a unified platform for collecting operational data and alerts from assets and IoT devices. The announcement of Nucleus Twin at LEAP 2026 introduces a new addition powered by digital twin and AI technologies, offering advanced spatial intelligence capabilities within the Nucleus ecosystem—empowering clients to put operations at the heart of their digital transformation journey.
