Dubai’s Security Industry Regulatory Agency has officially launched the “Tawash” system, a cutting-edge digital platform designed to revolutionise the security of gold and jewellery transportation within the emirate. Unveiled during the Intersec 2025 event at the Dubai World Trade Centre, “Tawash” aims to provide real-time tracking and enhanced protection for valuable consignments, leveraging advanced artificial intelligence technologies.
The “Tawash” system enables gold and jewellery companies to manage the transport of their valuables using their own licensed and accredited personnel, eliminating the need for third-party involvement. This approach not only streamlines operations but also ensures a higher level of security and accountability. To participate in the system, companies are required to use security bags that have undergone rigorous testing and received approval from SIRA, guaranteeing the safety and integrity of the items during transit.
SIRA emphasised that only security bags meeting their stringent standards will be permitted within the “Tawash” system. Traditional, untested bags are prohibited, underscoring the agency’s commitment to maintaining the highest security protocols. The integration of artificial intelligence allows for continuous monitoring and real-time tracking of shipments, providing companies with up-to-the-minute information on the location and status of their consignments.
The official launch of “Tawash” marks a significant milestone in Dubai’s efforts to enhance the security and efficiency of its gold and jewellery sector. By adopting this innovative system, the emirate aims to set new benchmarks in asset protection, ensuring that the transportation of precious items is conducted with unparalleled safety and transparency.
Intersec 2025, held from 14 to 16 January at the Dubai World Trade Centre, served as the platform for the debut of “Tawash.” Celebrating its 26th edition, Intersec is renowned as a premier global event for security, safety, and fire protection, attracting industry leaders and professionals from around the world. The introduction of “Tawash” at this esteemed event highlights Dubai’s proactive approach to integrating advanced technologies in critical sectors, reinforcing its position as a leader in security innovation.
The implementation of “Tawash” is expected to have a profound impact on the gold and jewellery industry in Dubai. Companies operating within this sector are encouraged to register for the system and ensure compliance with SIRA’s requirements to take full advantage of the enhanced security features offered. This initiative not only bolsters the protection of valuable assets but also contributes to the overall operational efficiency and reputation of businesses involved in the trade and transport of precious items.
