Dubai’s Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA) has unveiled the “Tawash” system, a new digital platform aimed at enhancing the security of gold and jewellery transportation across the emirate. This innovative system was introduced during the Intersec 2025 event at the Dubai World Trade Centre and is designed to provide real-time tracking and improved protection for valuable shipments by utilizing advanced artificial intelligence technologies.

SIRA has made it clear that only security bags that meet their strict standards will be allowed within the “Tawash” system, while traditional and untested bags will be prohibited. This policy underscores the agency’s dedication to upholding the highest security protocols. The incorporation of artificial intelligence enables continuous monitoring and real-time updates on the location and status of shipments, ensuring that companies receive timely information about their consignments.

The official launch of “Tawash” represents a significant advancement in Dubai’s ongoing efforts to improve the security and efficiency of its gold and jewellery sector. By implementing this cutting-edge system, the emirate aims to set new standards in asset protection, guaranteeing that the transport of precious items is conducted with unmatched safety and transparency.

Intersec 2025, which will take place from January 14 to 16 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, provided the venue for the introduction of “Tawash.” Celebrating its 26th edition, Intersec is recognized globally as a leading event for security, safety, and fire protection, attracting industry professionals and leaders from around the world. The launch of “Tawash” at this prominent event showcases Dubai’s proactive stance on integrating advanced technologies into critical sectors, reinforcing its reputation as a leader in security innovation.

The introduction of “Tawash” is expected to significantly impact the gold and jewellery industry in Dubai. Companies within this sector are encouraged to register for the system to comply with SIRA’s requirements and fully leverage the enhanced security features offered. This initiative not only strengthens the protection of valuable assets but also enhances the operational efficiency and reputation of businesses involved in the trade and transport of precious items.
