Dubai, Tuesday, 27 October 2026.
BMTC and CASABOT have partnered to open a Dubai innovation hub, introducing automated residential intelligence across 92 languages that operates locally without storing household data externally.
Bahri & Mazroei Trading Company Joins Forces with CASABOT to Revolutionize Smart Living in the UAE
Bahri & Mazroei Trading Company (BMTC), a subsidiary of the Bahri & Mazroei Group, has been appointed as the exclusive system integrator for CASABOT’s artificial intelligence home automation systems across the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The partnership, announced on 27 October 2026, will see BMTC spearhead the design, installation, and commissioning of CASABOT’s AI-driven residential automation systems, with plans to open a dedicated AI Home Innovation Hub at BMTC’s Port Saeed headquarters in Dubai this October [1]. BMTC, with 58 years of experience in electrical, lighting, and intelligent building systems, has been instrumental in landmark projects such as the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Metro, and Dubai International Airport, positioning it as a key player in the UAE’s smart infrastructure development [1].
CASABOT’s AI Home: Privacy-First Automation with Multilingual Capabilities
CASABOT’s AI Home platform integrates four core layers: HiveOS, BOTty, a mobile app, and a web dashboard, all designed to operate autonomously while prioritizing user privacy [3]. HiveOS, the operational backbone, learns household patterns to optimize climate control, lighting, energy consumption, and device management, while BOTty serves as the AI-powered assistant capable of natural language processing in over 92 languages and dialects [3]. Critically, HiveOS processes data locally, ensuring no resident information is stored externally—a feature highlighted by CASABOT CEO Mario Schiano Lo Moriello as a cornerstone of the technology’s design [1]. The system allows users to override automations at any time, offering both convenience and control [3].
Strategic Vision: Dubai as a Global Hub for AI-Driven Smart Homes
The launch of BMTC’s AI Home Innovation Hub in Dubai underscores the UAE’s ambition to lead the world in artificial intelligence integration, particularly within residential spaces. The hub will feature a walk-through showroom demonstrating next-generation smart home technology, reflecting broader trends across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) where developers are increasingly adopting advanced automated infrastructure [1]. BMTC’s CEO, Mr. Ali Al Mazroei, emphasized the significance of this partnership, stating, ‘The AI Home is the next category of building technology for the UAE,’ and noting that CASABOT’s system aligns with the needs of developers and homeowners by operating locally and integrating seamlessly with existing devices [1].
Operational and Technical Backbone: How the Partnership Delivers Innovation
As the system integrator, BMTC will manage the entire lifecycle of CASABOT installations, from design and specification to installation, commissioning, and technical support [1]. This role is critical given CASABOT’s platform’s ability to unify over 3,000 device brands across multiple protocols, including Zigbee, Z-Wave, KNX, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Thread, Matter, and DALI [1][3]. The collaboration leverages BMTC’s decades of experience in intelligent building systems, ensuring that CASABOT’s technology is deployed to the high standards expected by the UAE’s commercial and residential developers [1]. The Innovation Hub, slated to open this October at BMTC’s Port Saeed headquarters, will serve as a demonstration space for stakeholders, including developers, consultants, and homeowners, to experience the future of AI-driven living firsthand [1].
