SIRI Assessment: The Gateway to Smart Industrial Transformation in Saudi Arabia
Introduction
As the global industrial sector undergoes rapid transformation, digital readiness has become a critical priority for factories aiming to remain competitive and sustainable. In this context, the Smart Industry Readiness Index (SIRI) serves as a globally recognized tool designed to assess a factory’s readiness for Industry 4.0. In Saudi Arabia, SIRI assessment plays a vital role in advancing the objectives of Vision 2030, which focuses on enhancing innovation, improving productivity, and diversifying the economy.
What is SIRI?
The Smart Industry Readiness Index (SIRI) is a comprehensive framework developed by the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) in collaboration with industry experts. It evaluates the digital maturity of manufacturing facilities and their preparedness for smart transformation.
SIRI is based on three core pillars:
-
Process
-
Technology
-
Organization
These pillars are further divided into 16 dimensions that help identify strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities, enabling the development of a clear roadmap toward smart manufacturing.
Importance of SIRI in Saudi Arabia
1. Alignment with Vision 2030
SIRI directly supports the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, particularly in areas such as:
-
Industrial sector development
-
Technology localization
-
Increasing non-oil GDP contribution
-
Enhancing performance and productivity
2. Boosting Competitiveness
The SIRI assessment identifies operational and technological gaps, helping factories improve performance, reduce costs, and enhance product quality, all of which strengthen their competitiveness both locally and globally.
3. Strategic Transformation Planning
Instead of relying on trial-and-error strategies, SIRI provides a data-driven, structured roadmap for digital transformation based on factory-specific priorities.
