"Regulations" purchased 1.5 million processors "Baikal" for 1 billion rubles

On March 3, 2026, it became known that the manufacturer of industrial automation systems "Regulations" signed a five-year contract with Baikal Electronics for the supply of 1.5 million microcontrollers "Baikal-U" (BE-U1000) for a total amount of about ₽1 billion. The first batch of 150 thousand units worth over ₽100 million is scheduled for shipment by the end of June 2026. The deal became the largest commercial contract on the Russian market of new generation microcontrollers.

According to the press service of "Regulations," the company became the first major industrial buyer of serial microcontrollers "Baikal-U" for integration into its own solutions in the field of automated process control systems (APCS). The microcontroller is developed on the basis of the Russian RISC-V cores of CloudBEAR and is positioned as a domestic analogue of the widespread foreign microcontrollers of the STM32F4xx-F7xx series. The chip was first introduced in September 2025, serial deliveries began at the end of that year.

Microcontroller "Baikal-U" is designed for use in the following areas:

• objects critical information infrastructure (); CUES
• robotic systems and APCS systems;
• safety sensors and metering devices;
• I/O Internet and things devices (). IoT

Andrei Ulyanov, General Director of Regulations, said that the use of a domestic electronic component base in the production of programmable logic controllers is not a trend follow, but a strategic vector of the company's development. According to him, automation projects for the real sector, where the uninterrupted operation of critical infrastructure is needed, require practical steps to technological stability.

Baikal Electronics General Director Andrei Evdokimov noted that partnership with the Regulations is the largest step towards implementing a plan to supply 1 million Baikal-U microcontrollers to the Russian market in 2026. Orders are already coming from many segments, he said, and the company expects demand to grow further. Evdokimov also pointed out that the concluded agreement confirms the readiness of domestic microcontrollers for mass industrial use.
