Dubai World Central launches 'smart city' entry system

The new free zone at Al Maktoum International airport has devised a ‘smart’ electronic system to speed up processing of entry permits for local goods.

Dubai World Central’s logistics district this week activated the new system, which is intended to reduce the time taken to issue permits for the entry, storage and exit of local goods to and from the free zone, reported Emirates247.

The initiative is part of a wider commitment by DWC to apply new technological solutions across its districts in line with a government ambition to transform Dubai into a ‘smart city’.

DWC’s Logistics District is the first free zone in Dubai to invest in developing a such a system for transporting goods, Mohsen Ahmad, vice-president of the Logistics District, DWC, reportedly claimed.
