Engineering Intelligent Industrial Automation
Interlock Technologies delivers Industrial Automation 4.0 solutions for cement plants, logistics hubs, manufacturing facilities and smart industrial buildings. We combine PLC/SCADA control, robotics, AGVs, AI vision and digital-twin monitoring into one reliable ecosystem engineered for 24/7 operation in real-world industrial environments.
Our automation architecture is fully modular and vendor-neutral, enabling seamless integration with existing machinery, conveyors, sensors and plant control systems. Whether upgrading a single line or modernizing an entire facility, Interlock ensures smooth commissioning, real-time performance visibility, predictive maintenance capability, and a scalable pathway toward a fully autonomous, digitally optimized operation.
Higher throughput • Lower downtime • Safer operations
Industrial Automation 4.0
Interlock Technologies helps cement factories, logistics hubs, manufacturing plants and smart industrial buildings move from manual, paper-based operations to fully connected, automated ecosystems – with real gains in output, safety and energy efficiency.
Production & Quality
Higher production, consistent quality
Automate your packing, palletising and loading operations to run faster, with fewer stoppages and fewer bad bags.
• 20–40% increase in packing and loading throughput
• Stable cement bag weight and reduced spillage
• Less unplanned downtime from manual errors
Safety & Workforce Upgrade
Safer operations, upgraded workforce
Move your people away from heavy, dusty and repetitive work into control-room and supervisory roles.
• Fewer accidents at packer, warehouse and truck loading areas
• Reduced dust exposure and heavy lifting
• Operators reskilled to run robots, AGVs and digital-twin dashboards
Cost, Energy & ESG
Lower costs, greener energy footprint
Combine automation with smart green-energy systems to cut operating costs and support your ESG and UAE Vision 2031 goals.
• Lower energy cost per ton of cement dispatched
• Less rework, waste and truck waiting time
• Data to support ESG reporting and energy-efficiency audits
Industrial Dispatch Ecosystem 4.0
Cement Factories
From rotary packer to warehouse and lorry loading – one connected, automated flow for cement & bulk materials.
Nemotech Bag Shooter
We automate the empty bag feeding so your rotary packer runs at full, stable speed.
• Automatically picks empty valve bags from a magazine and feeds each spout
• Keeps packer operators away from repetitive, dusty manual bag handling
• Works with paper and PP valve bags in standard 50 kg cement formats
• Synchronised with rotary packer PLC and encoder for accurate timing
• Detects misfeeds and low-bag level to reduce stoppages and downtime
• Designed as a compact module that can be retrofitted to existing lines
Robot-Arm Valve Bag Placer
We use a flexible robot arm to place valve bags when you need more adaptability.
• 4–6 axis industrial robot picks bags from a magazine and places on the spout
• Handles different bag sizes, brands and products using recipe-based settings
• Optional vision system to confirm bag pick, orientation and valve position
• Smooth, controlled motion reduces bag damage and dust generation
• Ideal for new high-speed lines or where frequent product changeovers are needed
• Fully integrated with packer controls, safety system and digital twin
AI Vision QC Chamber
We inspect every bag with AI before it enters palletizing or lorry loading.
• Camera-based vision checks for torn, leaking or badly sealed bags in real time
• Integrated check-weigher verifies bag weight within tight tolerances
• IR and controlled LED lighting give stable images in dusty, harsh conditions
• Automatic reject conveyor diverts faulty bags away from good production flow
• All defects, images and statistics are logged into the digital twin dashboard
• Helps reduce customer complaints and improves overall plant quality KPIs
Packing Assembly Line Automation
We upgrade your cement packing lines from manual, labour-intensive operations to fully automated, high-speed systems – with consistent bag weight and fewer stoppages.
• 8–12 spout rotary cement packers with high throughput
• Pneumatic / auto bag shooters for fast, reliable bag feeding
• In-line check-weighers (±0.5 kg accuracy) with automatic rejects
• AI camera “inspection chamber” for damaged / leaking / misprinted bags
• Integrated dust extraction and cleaner working environment
Palletizing & Warehouse Automation
We automate the complete pallet flow – from bag discharge to wrapped, barcoded pallets stored in a smart warehouse.
• Robotic palletizing cells (6-axis & 7-axis robots) for 50 kg and jumbo bags
• Pallet magazines and automatic pallet feeders (10–25 stack capacity)
• Poly-thin top cover placement and automatic stretch-wrapping machines
• AGV forklifts for pallet movement to staging areas and warehouse racks
• Warehouse dashboards showing stock by grade, shift and bay
Lorry Loading Automation
We remove manual loading from truck bays – replacing it with safe, repeatable and high-speed automated loading systems.
• Conveyor-based truck loading systems for 50 kg cement bags
• Telescopic loaders / boom conveyors for different truck sizes
• Robotic truck loading options for complex layouts and mixed products
• Laser / sensor-based truck positioning and safety interlocks
• Integrated data logs – time-stamped loading reports for each vehicle

Our Responsible Engineering Framework
How Interlock designs, validates and delivers world-class automation and robotics systems.
Site Study & Problem Analysis
We begin with a complete assessment of the client’s workflow, bottlenecks, safety gaps and automation opportunities.
Outcome: clear scope, measurable KPIs, ROI prediction.
Concept Design & Digital Twin Simulation
We model your line or plant using digital-twin tools to simulate throughput, layout, robot reach, AGV flow, safety zones.
Outcome: validated design before hardware investment.
