Dubai’s Salik to manage parking across 3 free zones

The agreement between Salik and the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ) to deploy barrierless parking technology across three free zones is a major milestone for industrial tech procurement. This rollout will require significant investment in RFID technology, high-speed industrial cameras, and cloud-based data processing hardware. Procurement teams operating within these free zones must now prepare to integrate Salik’s access control systems with existing facility management infrastructure.

This move highlights the industrial sector's transition toward frictionless logistics. For equipment buyers, the focus will be on sourcing ruggedized outdoor electronics that can withstand the UAE's harsh climate while maintaining high connectivity standards. The implementation of these systems in high-traffic economic zones also opens doors for vendors specializing in data security hardware and industrial-grade network infrastructure, as these parking systems become integral parts of the broader logistics ecosystem.
