What we do

Three engineering pillars — each with dedicated technical pages.

SAS is not a generalist directory. We build proprietary IntelliLink hardware, deliver industrial automation and IoT integration, and engineer custom solutions for OEMs — with full-depth service pages for every discipline.

IntelliLink proprietary hardware

Encoder bridges, fiber encoder hubs, J1939 CAN gateways and ClimaLink panel air conditioners — engineered and built in Hamriyah Free Zone.

Industrial automation & IoT

PLC/SCADA, robotics, OPC UA/MQTT integration, predictive maintenance and plant-floor data pipelines for manufacturers in the UAE and GCC.

OEM & custom engineering

Proprietary protocols, custom hardware, reverse engineering, EOAT and application engineering for equipment builders and integrators.

Core capabilities

Start here — eight focused entry points.

Short summaries only. Technical depth, specifications and project scope live on each dedicated page.

Full service catalog — AI solutions, EOAT, software, repair, OEM hardware and more — in the Services, Products and Tools menus above. Start with our free engineering tools for instant sizing and configuration.

SAS IntelliLink™ Products

IntelliLink hardware — encoder conversion, fiber hubs, CAN gateways and panel cooling.

Search-ready product pages for every IntelliLink device. Each unit is custom-built by SAS for your exact protocol, environment and integration path.

SAS IntelliLink Encoder Hub

Fiber Optic Multi-Encoder Hub — Up to 20 Axes, 500 m per String

Replace long copper encoder runs with fiber encoder hub strings up to 500 m each. EMI and RF immune with galvanic isolation between IntelliLink Encoder Hub (ILEH) at the machine and Master Unit (ILEM) at the cabinet.

  • 2–5 encoders per fiber string (ILEH-2P … ILEH-5P)
  • Up to 4 strings per Master Unit — scalable to 20 encoder axes
  • Up to 500 m per string — EMI and RF immune, galvanic isolation
  • Strict 1:1 port mapping for predictable commissioning
  • Fail-safe and redundant system builds available on request
End-of-Arm Tooling

SAS EOAT Engineering — custom grippers and tooling built for your robot and process.

Design, prototype and manufacture end-of-arm tooling matched to your payload, cycle time and part geometry. Pneumatic, electric and vacuum grippers, assembly tools, deburring heads and quick-change interfaces for ABB, KUKA, FANUC and cobots.

  • Concept through CAD, FEA, prototype and FAT
  • ISO 9409 flange compatibility and custom adapters
  • Force/torque sensing and delicate-part handling
