In this context, it continues to digitise its postal and logistics services, through the latest applications of artificial intelligence, where the agreement targets the deployment of 200 robots to facilitate sorting and processing operations, which in turn contribute to supporting the supply chain system and enabling the growth of the logistics sector in the kingdom, in line with Saudi Vision 2030.”
