Al-Bayt Stadium in Doha is one of the most innovative sports infrastructures built for the FIFA World Cup™. Its distinctive feature is the massive retractable roof, designed to maintain optimal environmental conditions during events regardless of external weather conditions.
Polytec was selected as the technology partner to design and develop the automation, control, and supervision system for the movable roof, based on the Siemens TIA Portal platform. The automation system developed by Polytec coordinates the roof movement through a fully integrated hardware and software architecture, ensuring maximum precision, reliability, and operational safety. The solution combines PLCs, HMI supervision, and advanced control software to synchronize roof movements, continuously monitor system status, and maximize operational availability.
