Usetech to present operational Technology portfolio at LEAP 2026

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Usetech said it will present its operational technology portfolio at LEAP 2026 in Riyadh, exhibiting a set of products and integrated solutions tailored to organisations building digital infrastructure, managing operational systems, and applying AI across industrial and urban environments. The company will be on stand H3.B170 in Hall 3 during the event, which runs from August 31 to September 3. Usetech’s announcement positions the firm as a contributor to the operational technology (OT) narrative at a show that has traditionally focused on software, startups and large-scale digital transformation projects. At the centre of Usetech’s stand is Launch, an AI-driven platform for multimodal data analytics. Launch is designed to ingest and correlate diverse data streams — such as sensor telemetry, video, and log files — so operators and analysts can surface contextual insights from converged datasets. The company says the platform targets complex operational environments where decisions rely on understanding signals from multiple sources in near real time. Complementing Launch is Octopus, described as a universal platform for AI-based IT resource optimisation in data centres. Octopus aims to automate allocation and scheduling of compute, storage and network resources to match fluctuating workloads, an approach intended to address the growing infrastructure pressure from large-scale AI deployments and other data-intensive applications. Usetech will also display Teal HR, an employee motivation platform intended to support workforce engagement during technology transitions; Smart City solutions focused on civilian policing and critical infrastructure protection; and a Smart Manufacturing portfolio that the company positions as an end-to-end offering for connecting machines and systems across production environments. The selection of products reflects a deliberate OT angle: rather than focusing solely on cloud-native applications or business software, Usetech’s suite ties analytics, resource management and workplace tools directly to physical operations. The company will demonstrate these integrations at LEAP through use cases and product showcases intended for operators, systems integrators and infrastructure managers. Usetech’s portfolio addresses three intersecting needs in industrial and urban settings: situational awareness, resource efficiency and workforce alignment. Smart City offerings target municipal requirements such as monitoring of critical assets and support for civilian policing functions, where combining video analytics, sensor feeds and command-and-control workflows can enhance response and oversight. The company presents these capabilities as tools for authorities and utilities that must balance safety, service continuity and regulatory constraints. For manufacturers and production facilities, the Smart Manufacturing portfolio is presented as a bridge between legacy equipment and modern edge and cloud systems. By enabling machine-to-system connectivity and data flow, the portfolio is intended to help factories improve visibility into operations and support predictive maintenance and automation initiatives. Usetech frames these capabilities as foundational for Industry 4.0 projects that typically require orchestration across control systems, IT networks and analytics platforms. In data centre environments, Octopus targets the technical challenge of matching finite infrastructure to variable demand, especially as enterprises host more AI workloads that can be highly resource-intensive. Efficient management of compute and storage can affect operational costs and service levels; Octopus is positioned to provide automated policies and optimisation routines to help administrators balance those trade-offs. Across all verticals, the reliance on multimodal analytics and integrated control highlights the practical intersection of OT and IT, where interoperability and end-to-end data flows matter for both performance and governance. Usetech’s presence at LEAP 2026 comes against a backdrop of significant investment in digital infrastructure across the Middle East, notably in Saudi Arabia’s smart city and industrial modernisation initiatives. The company’s exhibit aims to engage partners and customers evaluating how to deploy OT solutions that must coexist with existing control systems, bespoke operational processes and local regulatory regimes. Usetech acknowledges that practical implementation requires careful system integration, tailored configurations and an execution plan that accounts for operational risk and continuity. Key considerations for buyers include interoperability with legacy equipment, data governance and cybersecurity. Connecting operational assets to analytics platforms increases the attack surface and raises questions about segmentation, access control and incident response. Usetech’s demonstrations at LEAP will likely be used to discuss integration strategies, deploy
