قرارات الاستثمار الخاطئة في معدات التحليل والأتمتة (Misaligned CapEx Investment Decisions)

3 verified sources

Definition

Regulatory delays and fragmented updates create investment confusion. Manufacturers may buy lab equipment calibrated for old fat/sugar thresholds, then face rework when ADS 13/2025 specs tighten. Nutri-Mark delay (announced July 2025, implemented Q4 2025[3]) causes some to invest in dual-system labeling—both old and new formats—doubling CapEx.

Key Findings

  • Financial Impact: Estimated: 200,000–500,000 AED per manufacturer (wasted CapEx on obsolete or redundant systems); typical impact: 20–30% of annual compliance tech budget
  • Frequency: One-time per investment cycle; 2–3 year horizon
  • Root Cause: Regulatory ambiguity: Nutri-Mark delay announcement[3]; ADS 13/2025 ongoing updates[1]; fragmented guidance from Abu Dhabi QCC, FTA, MOCCAE[2]; no single roadmap; manufacturers guess on specification finality
