"Abu Dhabi Ports" Guinness World Records™ title achieved for the largest number of AI agents in a single logistics facility
Abu Dhabi, 9 December / WAM / Abu Dhabi Ports Group today announced that it has obtained a new title in the Guinness World Records™ for deploying the largest number of artificial intelligence agents in a single logistics facility.
Guinness World Records awarded the title to Abu Dhabi Ports Group for deploying 205 artificial intelligence agents throughout its global operations, in the presence of His Excellency Mohammed Hassan Al Suwaidi, Minister of Investment and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Abu Dhabi Ports Group, and Captain Mohammed Juma Al Shamsi, Managing Director and CEO of Abu Dhabi Ports Group.
The new record recorded by the group in the field of using artificial intelligence agents in its operations reflects its commitment to developing its smart logistics capabilities, improving its operational efficiency, and employing artificial intelligence agents to support key tasks such as coordinating shipping operations and automating warehouse operations, which will help achieve tangible gains in efficiency and reduce costs. Models for employing artificial intelligence include a ship speed optimization system that will help achieve savings in fuel consumption that will reach approximately 3%, a container balancing system that will contribute to raising the efficiency rate of container use by 90%, and intelligent scheduling of human resources that will reduce the times required to complete scheduling and process administrative processes by more than 90%.
Employing AI agents represents a fundamental shift in how the logistics ecosystem operates, enabling real-time decision-making, predictive planning, and self-coordination on a scale that was previously unattainable. According to a survey published by PricewaterhouseCoopers, about 79% of companies in various sectors reported adopting AI agents on a large scale, and 66% of them recorded tangible productivity gains, highlighting the significant impact of AI agents on improving operational performance in these companies.
