"Digital" revenue of Rosatom for the year increased by a third and reached 39.9 billion rubles

At the end of 2023, the revenue of the state corporation Rosatom from digital business reached almost 40 billion rubles. This is a third (33%) more than the result for the previous year. Such indicators are reflected in the materials that TAdviser got acquainted with in early November 2024.

According to Ekaterina Solntseva, director of Rosatom for digitalization, in 2023, a significant increase in Rosatom's digital business was recorded in absolute terms. Revenue amounted to 39.9 billion rubles, while a year earlier the result of 30.7 billion rubles was recorded. According to Solntseva, by 2030 the state corporation intends to bring this figure to 200 billion rubles.

"Digital" revenue of "Rosatom" increased by a third and amounted to 39.9 billion rubles

It is noted that digitalization is one of the most important drivers for improving the efficiency of Rosatom's business. The corporation is actively working to develop an approach in the nuclear industry based on a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of IT projects. The digital vertical is built in 20 divisions (including incubated businesses) and in 69 key organizations in the perimeter of Rosatom. In 2023, the existing and developed digital products were restructured: based on the results, four areas of digitalization were formed - Smart Transport Systems, Infrastructure IoT Platform, Digital Resource Supply and Smart City Base Platform.

In 2023, Rosatom continued to create its own software with the potential to scale outside the nuclear industry and promote solutions to the market. In the direction of internal digitalization, a digital culture is being formed in nuclear industry organizations and import substitution plans are being implemented. As of 2023, about 700 IT projects are being implemented in all divisions of the state corporation. The share of purchases of Russian software amounted to 90%.^[1]

Rosatom's digital business employs 25 thousand people. The state corporation wants to increase this number to 55 thousand

As of the end of 2024, about 25 thousand employees work in the digital block of the state corporation Rosatom. In the future, their number is planned to be more than doubled. This was announced on November 7, 2024 by the deputy director of Rosatom for personnel Tatyana Terentyeva.

Rosatom is implementing the Unified Digital Strategy (EC), which defines the key areas of digital transformation: this is the fulfillment of state tasks for digitalization, the development of new products, as well as the internal digitalization of the nuclear industry. The introduction of digital technologies, it is claimed, not only increases efficiency and optimizes the cost of processes, but also contributes to improving the safety of activities. One of the directions of the ECC is the Quantum Computing program. In 2023, prototypes of quantum computers were developed and tested on four advanced technological platforms, including a 25-qubit atomic and 20-qubit ion quantum computer.

Rosatom's digital business employs 25,000 employees. The state corporation plans to increase their number to 55 thousand

Terentyeva said that Rosatom's external revenue, which is generated in the digital block, exceeds 40 billion rubles. According to this indicator, the state corporation is comparable to digital Russian players. In order to further strengthen its position in the relevant area, it is planned to increase the digital team of Rosatom by more than 30 thousand specialists by 2030 - up to 55 thousand employees. The priority of digitalization is to achieve the following goals by 2030:

• 100% of the solution of the assigned state tasks;
• Rosatom is a global technology leader;
• Digital revenue growth by 10 times;
• 30 countries of the world use digital technologies/solutions of Rosatom;
• 100% quality of digital services;
• 0% routine operations;
• 100% of people use or implement digital technology in their work.^[2]

6 billion rubles of income and the seizure of half of the market. How Rosatom intends to develop industrial robots

Rosatom State Corporation intends to occupy more than 50% of the industrial robot market in Russia. This was announced at the end of October 2024 by Dmitry Kainov, Commercial Director for Robotics, Rosatom Service JSC.

By 2030, Russia expects to enter the top 25 world countries in terms of the number of robots in industry. The number of such installations at domestic enterprises is expected to increase from 10 thousand to 95 thousand. To increase technological sovereignty and form long-term demand for high-tech products, a new national project "Means of Production and Automation" is being launched in Russia.

6 billion rubles in revenue and winning 50% of the market: how Rosatom plans to develop industrial robotics

Kainov spoke about plans to switch to domestic robots in industry. According to him, in connection with the formed geopolitical situation, many European and Japanese manufacturers who supplied robots to Russian enterprises, including Rosatom structures, left the Russian market. They were replaced by suppliers from China. At the same time, Russia intends to systematically increase the domestic production of industrial robots. In particular, says Kainov, from 2025 the transition to ensuring technological sovereignty will begin.

Rosatom plans to take more than 50% of the industrial robot market in Russia and receive more than 6 billion rubles from it annually, releasing 3,000 robots every year. We are ready to invest in enterprises with engineering potential, aimed at acquiring shares in them. Ready to be partners for many companies, - notes Kainov.

It is said that in Russia, almost half of all industrial robots are associated with the metalworking industry: first of all, this is welding, which accounts for 26% of installations. The same share is noted in the packaging segment. Loading and unloading operations account for 17%, casting and milling -^[3]

Russian GOST on cybersecurity at nuclear power plants has become international

The Russian GOST, which regulates the methods of cyber protection of nuclear power plant control systems, received the status of an international standard. This became known at the end of July 2024.

New International Standardization Document IEC TO 63415:2023 "Nuclear Power Plants. Monitoring and control systems. The Application of Formal Cyber Security Models for the Design and Evaluation of the Cyber Security Control and Control Architecture "was published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The standard is based on practical experience in ensuring the cybersecurity of Russian nuclear power plants and theoretical studies of specialists of Rosatom State Corporation and the Russian Academy of Sciences.

The Russian GOST, which regulates the methods of cyber protection of nuclear power plant control systems, received the status of an international standard.

The development of the document began in 2019 within the framework of the IEC/TK 45 Technical Committee "Atomic Instrumentation." The initiator was a group of experts under the leadership of a leading researcher at the Institute of Management Problems named after V.A. Trapeznikov RAS Vitaly Fishing.

The new standard contains a description of the mathematical method of analyzing cybersecurity of automated process control systems (APCS) of nuclear power plants. The method is based on a comprehensive model of information flows, which allows you to obtain a quantitative assessment of the attack surface and analyze the cybersecurity architecture of the APCS, taking into account the relationships between different components.

The document considers a set of issues related to the formation of the APCS architecture, including the classification of assets, the purpose of protection measures and ensuring compliance with cyber security requirements when transferring information between systems. The integration of the provisions of the new standard into practical activities will increase the stability of NPP control and control systems against possible cyber attacks.

The use of a new international standard based on Russian developments will ensure a reliable way to assess the cyber security of the system and identify its potential vulnerabilities and threats, - said Anton Shalaev, head of the Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology (Rosstandart).

Rosatom has completely replaced foreign software with Russian in critical infrastructure

Rosatom has completely replaced foreign software with Russian software at its significant facilities of the critical information infrastructure (CII) of the nuclear industry. This was announced by the general director of the state corporation Alexei Likhachev on February 28, 2024 during his speech in the State Duma.

According to Evgeny Abakumov, Director of Information Infrastructure at Rosatom, the development of import-independent IT solutions is very important for the nuclear industry, given the need to carry out reliable and safe processes. According to the state corporation's own data, from 2016 to 2023, 332 solutions developed by Rosatom and its subsidiaries were entered into the Unified Register of Russian Programs for Electronic Computers and Databases.

Rosatom has completely replaced foreign software with Russian

The main principles of creating domestic Rosatom solutions are reliability, availability and scalability. The inclusion of our IT developments in the Unified Register of Russian Programs for Electronic Computers and Databases is a vivid confirmation of the high innovative potential of the nuclear industry in the field of information technology, "said Abakumov, whose words are quoted by the Rosatom press service at the end of February 2024.

By February 2024, the Rosenergoatom concern (Rosatom's electric power division) is implementing a full import substitution project at its enterprises of the operational analytics software for the electricity production process. We are talking about replacing the system of the American company OSIsoft. According to Oleg Shalnov, Director of the IT Projects and Integration Management Department of Rosenergoatom, the priority for the company is to transfer such systems to domestic software as:

• Enterprise Resource Management System (SAP ERP)
• Consolidated Reporting System (SAP BI)
• Regulatory Reference Information Management System (SAP MDM)
• predictive analytics system (AVEVA Prism).

By the end of 2023 Linux , more than 95% of Rosenergoatom's employees were transferred to the Russian Astra OS^[5]

Rosatom began using an ice reconnaissance complex based on UAVs

On February 1, 2024, Rosatom State Corporation announced the start of operation of an ice reconnaissance complex based on a deck-based unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Radar images of the Marine Channel are transmitted to the Unified Platform for Digital Services of the Northern Sea Route ( NSR) and posted on a single geoinformation portal.

The system was tested in the water area of the navigable approach channel in the Ob Bay of the Kara Sea. The drone is designed to obtain operational information about the ice situation necessary to ensure the safety of navigation on the NSR. The drone took off from the Yamal nuclear icebreaker FSUE Atomflot. The work was carried out in the dark in difficult weather conditions: wind speed 15-17 m/s (with gusts up to 19 m/s), air temperature - minus 25 degrees Celsius. The UAV flew at an altitude of 600 meters in cloudy conditions, lasting 115 minutes with a total track length of 174 km.

Rosatom announced the start of operation of an ice reconnaissance complex based on UAVs

The drone is equipped with a fully automated landing system on the deck of the icebreaker: no operator action is required. This makes it possible to significantly simplify the operation of the complex. During the flight, in addition to the formation of radar images, video recording in the optical and infrared bands can be carried out. All information with geolocation to the terrain in real time is transmitted to the operator.

It is noted that the complex of operational air ice reconnaissance is one of the components of the digital ecosystem of the Northern Sea Route, which Rosatom is creating within the framework of the federal project "Development of the Northern Sea Route." In addition to UAVs, it will include the Unified Platform for Digital Services of the NSR and the Data Fund, as well as onboard measuring systems. It is expected that the deployment of the ecosystem will improve the safety of navigation and the economic efficiency of sea cargo transportation in the Arctic.^[6]

Rosatom will ensure the technological independence of critical information infrastructure by 2030

By 2030, Rosatom will ensure the complete transition of critical information infrastructure (CII) facilities to trusted equipment. Sectoral transition plans will be approved by September 1, 2024, said Evgeny Abakumov, director of information infrastructure at Rosatom State Corporation, on November 22, 2023.

In November 2023, the Russian Government determined the procedure and term for the transition of KII subjects to Russian trusted equipment. It will begin on September 1, 2024 and run until early 2030. At the same time, according to the decree, the transition of significant CII facilities to the preferential use of trusted PAC should be completed by January 1, 2025, and Rosatom State Corporation has been appointed responsible for organizing such a transition in the field of atomic energy.

Rosatom was among the first to begin the process of replacing foreign software and equipment, including at significant CII facilities. This work has been underway since 2019, and during this time the State Corporation has become a testing ground for testing domestic solutions. The accumulated expertise allows us not only to successfully pass this path inside Rosatom, but also to share our experience with other industries. By the end of 2023, we will ensure technological sovereignty at the software level at all significant facilities of the CII. I am sure that the path we have begun will allow us to come to the conclusion that by 2030 all critical infrastructure facilities will be transferred to domestic software and hardware complexes, - explained Evgeny Abakumov.

In addition to organizing the transition in the nuclear industry, ROSATOM plays a significant role in the implementation of the entire process. Evgeny Abakumov added that the development of trusted PAC is being carried out by the Critical Information Systems Scientific and Production Association. Within the framework of the federal plan, the company will accumulate information about all hardware and software complexes that are not trusted. From 2025, Rosatom experts will form and provide a forecast for the production of trusted PAC in Russia for a two-year perspective.

Implementation of 10 software development projects for 21.5 billion rubles

On October 26, 2023, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko announced that Rosatom was engaged in ten software development projects.

The centers of competence for the development of domestic software have formed a request for the most popular and necessary solutions for the Russian sectors of the economy. 197 particularly significant projects were selected. Rosatom is a customer for seven projects and a developer for three projects. All projects are being implemented at the company's own expense in the amount of 21.5 billion rubles, - said the Deputy Prime Minister at the industry conference of Rosatom.

According to Chernyshenko, the state corporation seeks to become a leader in the heavy-class PLM system market. The implementation of the project is carried out with the participation of organizations of the aircraft industry, the rocket and space industry, the nuclear power, the automotive industry, science and education. At the same time, as the Deputy Prime Minister noted, it is necessary to find a balance between the need to consolidate the efforts of developers and the development of an internal competitive market for digital solutions.

Thanks to the technological leader of Rosatom, quantum technologies are developing in the country. We expect a significant increase in the number of qubits in the quantum processor. By 2025, their number should be 50. Test algorithms are now running on an ion quantum computer. One of the key problems of mathematical modeling in the nuclear industry is being solved, "said Dmitry Chernyshenko, whose words are quoted by the press service of the Cabinet.

The head of Rosatom, Alexei Likhachev, at the end of October 2023, called the achievement of technological leadership one of the key elements of the long-term strategy of the state corporation and the Digital Vision of Rosatom until 2030. He stressed that that leadership is not a slogan, but a goal, the desire for which should be based on a specific action plan, taking into account the vectors of development of the global digital industry, the best domestic creation practices, scaling and replication of advanced digital technologies, as well as mechanisms for the integrated disclosure of the scientific, technical, production and creative potential of the nuclear industry.^[7]

Russian IT systems for Africa's first nuclear power plant. Atomstroyexport presented project details at TAdviser SummIT

Speaking at the TAdviser SummIT conference on May 30, 2023, Olga Tolstunova, Vice President for Digitalization and Information Technology, Atomstroyexport, spoke about Rosatom's international projects and how digital technologies help manage the company's projects.

Today, all Russian companies face certain difficulties in the international arena, she stated. But Rosatom still retains a leading position in many areas, the main of which is the construction of high-capacity nuclear power plants, occupying 30% of the world market. Now in 14 countries of the world (Hungary, Turkey, China, Bangladesh, Egypt, etc.) the construction of power units is underway, and each of these projects has a very large scale.

As an example, Olga Tolstunova spoke in more detail about the Egyptian project of the El-Dabaa NPP, which has entered the construction stage, noting that such megaprojects in modern realities cannot be controlled without digital technologies. When constructing any large infrastructure facility, it became standard to supply its information model with the facility itself, and the nuclear power plant is no exception. During the construction and further operation of the nuclear power plant for several decades, the approach is completely unacceptable when the decision is made by someone unknown and why, Olga Tolstunova emphasized.

It is necessary to know the history of each NPP element, to understand why this or that decision was made, who exactly made each element, with what characteristics of wear resistance, repair, etc. That is why each such project is permeated with digital technologies. Together with the power unit, Rosatom provides foreign partners with a detailed information model of the constructed facility.

To create such a model, the Multi-D platform is used, developed in-house with the participation of a number of partners. It consists of:

• IMS - information management system;
• MDDR - document management and resource load monitoring system;
• UTS - combined schedule;
• Project - facilities management;
• ESB - integration bus.

The use of Multi-D allows you to minimize human participation in the collection of data from the construction site, reduces the time and cost of ensuring processes during construction, Olga Tolstunova noted, and then spoke about some elements of the platform, as well as other IT solutions used in the construction of nuclear power plants in more detail.

The IMS information management system has the following effects:

• accumulation, verification, "freezing" of data at all stages of the project;
• providing managers with reporting and analytics;
• transparency of the project for its participants;
• Manage requirements, configurations, and changes.

Multi-D Project provides:

• issuance of tasks for construction and installation works by the contractor;
• daily issuance of information on the fact of performance of works;
• Reduce the cost of collecting and recording work data for the contractor and general contractor
• general monitoring of NPP construction works.

Together, this allows you to track the correctness of both the resource load and adjust the project plans in time, the representative of Atomstroyexport noted.

The company also has a personnel control system operating in different projects in different configurations. On large-scale projects, when tens of thousands of people work, MCDS with biometrics works. The system monitors who came and when, whether the very person who was taken to work really came, in which areas of the construction site the person spends time, what type of work he performs, how much time he spends on the way to the place where the task was performed, and so on.

The use of this technology significantly saves the cost of construction and installation work, Olga Tolstunova noted.

In the transport involved in the NPP construction, the IoT technology is used, which ensures the collection and transmission of data from the transport control unit (location, mileage, operating mode). As part of the system, fuel level sensors in the tank and body lifting sensors are installed. The IoT system allows you to control and build optimal transport routes inside the construction site, save about 30% of fuel. It is planned to replicate this system for the entire fleet, including heavy equipment.

In Egypt, we have already done several key events on the first concrete of our power units, and the project itself is interesting, "said Olga Tolstunova. - Firstly, this is the first nuclear power plant in Africa, the 4th power unit is being built at once. And each power unit is about 10 million elements, hundreds of contractors and tens of thousands of people. And we do all this together with our Egyptian partners to follow our shared dream: great clean energy turns the desert into a garden. That's what we all do it for.

3 IT challenges that Rosatom allocated for itself in 2022

Despite the much changed situation in 2022, the task of the IT division remains the same - to ensure the stable, productive operation of all information systems on the basis of which business is carried out. In Rosatom, in this context, the 3 most relevant areas were identified for themselves, said Ilya Kholkin, deputy director of the IT department of the state corporation, speaking at the TAdviser SummIT conference on November 29.

The first area is information security. This is a broad topic, and Ilya Kholkin settled on one part - on secure software development. The second area, strategically important - ensuring technological independence. Moreover, we are talking here not only about IT, but about the entire scientific and technical complex. And the third is the use of technology at industrial facilities.

The departure of foreign vendors made the business think about what it will work on next. Against this background, in Rosatom, as in many large corporations, the vector was shifted towards its own development, since not all Russian products have sufficient maturity. And here the question arises of how to make this development safe, and how to do it quickly. The state corporation chose a path for itself, which was called a secure software development platform. Its essence is that the company integrates information security issues into development processes.

This is a technological platform that allows assembling, compiling solutions in a closed environment, as well as testing, pentesting and a number of activities that laboratories then perform in order to obtain certification or enter the stage of certification of systems. Due to this, Rosatom significantly reduces the time for putting the product into commercial operation.

Technological independence is not an easy issue for Rosatom. Sanctions pressure on the state corporation has been exerted for quite a long time, and so historically it happened that in a number of areas Rosatom already had strong competencies in terms of the development of information systems. To date, the state corporation also has its portfolio of IT products - 73 products that it offers, including on the market. Before offering its solutions to the market, Rosatom will test them on itself.

At the same time, Rosatom works with market participants in a number of areas. The strategy is to unify and type. For a typical workplace, the state corporation plans to reach an indicator of 80 thousand.

Rosatom seeks to build long-term relations with market participants, including because it is important for it to influence the further development of the products that it introduces.

As for their own products, in addition to secure development, the management of the software development process plays an important role. Rosatom realized that if we use the classic approach - SCRUM or "fashionable Agile," that is, a number of related problems. Therefore, the state corporation "twisted" something of its own here, taking into account its peculiarities, practices and processes. As a result, a product was born that allows you to flexibly manage software development processes. According to the current estimate, this made it possible to increase productivity by 20% from the beginning to commissioning due to both the methodology and the created platform.

And one of the examples of cases of industrial application of products cited by Ilya Kholkin is a predictive system that allows analyzing the probability of failures of various complex mechanisms and systems in various respects. Among the effects that this development has given are a general reduction in costs, a decrease in downtime, etc.

Another case is from Rosenergoatom, the operator of Russian nuclear power plants, which is part of Rosatom. It is very important to ensure compliance with safety regulations, including the use of the correct protective equipment for personnel. The transition to the new system made it possible to ensure zero factors of accidents associated with violation of protective equipment.

Rosatom engaged in the development of competence centers for import substitution of software in mechanical engineering

In early July 2022, Rosatom announced its decision to develop centers of competence for import substitution of software in mechanical engineering. First of all, we are talking about the directions of the automotive industry, shipbuilding and aviation, said Evdokia Rukavishnikova, deputy director for digitalization of the state corporation.

Our specialists will work with the center and with developers in a single bundle on a daily basis as process coordinators, fulfilling orders for 3-5 anchor customers. And the rest of the clients will subsequently be able to use these developed solutions, "she told Vedomosti, adding that Rosatom will act as a single vendor of technologies created on the basis of such a center.

How many specialists Rosatom will be ready to send to this direction, as well as when the state corporation will be ready to start this work, July 4, 2022 is not specified. The Center of Competence for Import Substitution in the field of ICT is also involved in the creation of such centers. The organization provides methodological support for all import substitution centers that are now being created. In addition to Rosatom, Kamaz (mechanical engineering), Roscosmos (aircraft manufacturing) and Rusagro (agriculture) were involved as holders of competencies.

It is specified that within the framework of this work, it is now planned to create such centers in 16 sectors of the economy - mechanical engineering, metallurgy, chemical industry, electronics and microelectronics, pharmaceutical industry, transport, agriculture, construction and housing and communal services, electricity, oil and gas and coal industry, ecology, trade and services, finance, education, health care, communications and media. In total, it is planned to create 10 centers, including associations for operating systems, office software, DBMS, cloud platforms, information protection tools, etc.

One of the problems that such competence centers should solve is the lack of industry-specific software solutions. For example, for the aviation industry, Rosatom is developing a platform for a product life cycle support system. ^[1]

Rosatom will develop uniform information security requirements for software created for the nuclear industry

The Atomzoprochainform Center, the parent organization that protects the secrets of Rosatom, has begun to form uniform information security requirements for software products that are developed in the interests of the nuclear industry. This was announced in August 2021 by the corporate magazine of the state corporation Rosatom Country.

Now each organization that develops software products in the interests of Rosatom does this according to its own requirements, without often paying due attention to information protection issues, "said Aleksei Selin, general director of Atomzoprochainform.

The general director of Atomzobriainform explained to TAdviser that the uniform information security requirements that their organization is working on are intended, in particular, for software developed for Rosatom and not subject to mandatory certification.

The company also believes that it is necessary that Rosatom has its own secure software development system, from the design process to the implementation.

Issues related to security need to be coordinated with the industry center of competence, and Atomzoprotainform has the necessary experience and specialists to be such a center, Aleksei Selin says.

Selin, however, clarified TAdviser that there are no specific plans to create a competence center on the basis of Atomzoprochainform in the field of information security software. However, in 2018, Atomzoprochainform was entrusted with the functions of the head research organization in the nuclear industry on the problems of information protection, on the development and implementation of software and hardware, organizational means and methods of protection against unauthorized access to information processed in automated control systems and on electronic computer technology.

Atomzoprotyainform also monitors the implementation of measures to protect information in Rosatom organizations and coordinates the implementation of the program of priority areas of research and development in the field of information protection in state corporation organizations.

Rosatom is promoting a change in the procurement law to simplify import substitution of software

Director of the Rosatom Information Technology Department Yevgeny Abakumov, speaking at an online conference in October 2020, spoke about the proposals in the field of regulating import substitution of software, which the state corporation brings up for discussion. They include:

• development of mechanisms that would provide more opportunities for granting preferences to Russian software, and their introduction into the 223-FZ ("On the procurement of goods, works, services by certain types of legal entities");
• development of rules for accelerated write-off of foreign IT solutions when replacing them with Russian analogues;
• modification of the register of domestic software to expand its functions.

223-FZ in terms of software import substitution. For me, there was a personal challenge: how to understand that we, as a country, should use the domestic, while we cannot regulatory change the regulatory framework, including because of our international obligations. This is an absolutely understandable fork, but it is not very clear how to get out of it. Today, any corporation, company with state participation, which works on 223-FZ, is almost impossible to give priority to domestic decisions, except for price preferences, "said Evgeny Abakumov.

And such a preference is always very dangerous, added the Chief information officer of Rosatom. That means actually telling players they can be less efficient than the market. And, for example, direct proposals to increase price preferences, for example, not by 15%, but by 30% - this is a fine line that everyone needs to go through together.

Thus, Abakumov noted, now there are only non-competitive ways to provide preferences: a simplified procurement procedure, purchase from a single supplier.

How much do you think the FAS welcomes such methods? - asks the representative of Rosatom, - Well, in general, not so much.

Then an interesting fork arises: you must fulfill the indicator, but fulfill it on your own, he noted. Therefore, regarding the 223-FZ, Rosatom sent its proposals to the government, and now discusses them at the site of the Federation Council on the digital economy, said the Chief information officer of Rosatom.

As for the rules that would speed up depreciation and prematurely write off foreign solutions when replacing them with Russian counterparts, Rosatom proposes to develop them and amend the legislation of the Russian Federation on taxes and fees.

You have a foreign solution, it works, you need to replace it. You made a decision to replace, found a good Russian analogue, decommission. From the point of view of the fact that you suddenly wrote off the working solution, do you think there will be questions for you or not? - says Evgeny Abakumov.

The third item is a modification of the register of domestic software. Rosatom believes that it should be not only a regulatory tool, but also a knowledge base tool that can be shared with each other in terms of experience and application practice.

A simple example is when everyone discusses office packages. This is a simple task, many times they were purchased for government agencies. Probably, there should be some kind of general terms of reference. This is an office suite, there is nothing fantastic there. But where can you see how it was used, what were the problems or flaws? Quite a difficult story, - said Abakumov.

Among the problems of import substitution, Yevgeny Abakumov noted the absence of software in the register of the Ministry of Digital Development, which could replace imported products in a wide class of solutions. And when there is a solution in the registry, there is no guarantee that it is workable or has the ecosystem that is needed for a large company, he says.

According to Abakumov, as of 2020, Rosatom itself has launched import substitution projects in five main areas: industry standard automated workplace, electronic document management system, ERP, standard industry infrastructure and new production technologies.

In the process of resolving import substitution issues, state corporations came to the conclusion that it is difficult to act independently in this area, and joins forces with other organizations with the help of the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs. This site coordinates the work of large companies in the field of import substitution of software. After all, they bear the same costs in terms of testing, testing domestic solutions, said the Chief information officer of Rosatom.

Rosatom began to conduct inspections of enterprises in virtual reality

In mid-October 2020, it became known about the start of inspections of Rosatom enterprises in virtual reality. The technology was introduced in the Volgodon branch of AEM-Technologies (part of the engineering division of Rosatom State Corporation - Atomenergomash) with the participation of Tsifrum.

RuSat Infrastructure solutions are preparing IT systems in the field of tourism in 15 cities of Russia

On October 9, 2020, it became known about Rosatom's entry into the tourism market. Included in the state corporation JSC RuSat Infrastructure Solutions (RIR; specializes in the development of IoT technologies in cities) intends to launch its own IT systems in the field of tourism in 15 cities.

Plans for the creation of a virtual and augmented reality laboratory on about. Russian together with FEFU

ROSATOM State Corporation and the Far Eastern Federal University, within the framework of a partnership in the field of digital technologies, decided to create a Virtual and Augmented Reality Laboratory on about. The corresponding agreement was concluded between the company "Digital Institution for the Digitalization of the Nuclear Industry," which is part of the Rosatom structure, and FEFU. Rosatom announced this on September 3, 2020. Read more here.

Rosatom is preparing to transfer thousands of jobs to Russian office software

In 2020, Rosatom set itself the task of transferring more than 4 thousand first jobs to domestic office software and an operating system, said Evgeny Abakumov, director of the Rosatom IT department, on August 27 at an online meeting with members of NP Russoft and journalists. He shared the features of the plan for the implementation of this project.

When the guys tell me how they will do it, I understand why at the level of feeling at one time I started this team in the logic of our general service center "Greenatom." And I understand that if I had not started it, but worked with a supplier from the market, then, of course, I could not write such a TA, - said Evgeny Abakumov.

As a result, he says, products will be purchased on the market, but the task of integration will be carried out by internal forces and resources.

This is a huge challenge for the Russian IT market, because now there will be a trend when large companies will strengthen insourcers, and not because they are very interested in it or they need to "vacuum" the market, but because the very scheme of interaction with the market today is difficult illogical in this part, believes the director of the Rosatom IT department.

It is worth recalling that back in 2014 , the Federal Nuclear Center in Sarov (RFNC-VNIIEF), which is part of Rosatom, reported that it was developing its own OS called Synergy. Initially, it was carried out as part of ensuring the import independence of the typical information system of the nuclear weapons complex created by the center, but later the RFNC-VNIIEF noted that large organizations from other industries also showed great interest in this OS. Read more here.

When TAdviser asked why Rosatom should not use Synergy for OS import substitution, the state corporation said the following:

The choice of the operating system is underway, based on the results of the completion of the work, it will be announced later. "OS synergy" is a special, highly secure system.

During a meeting with members of NP Russoft and journalists, Yevgeny Abakumov noted that when Rosatom seriously took up the question of what is presented in the register of domestic software, what decisions were included in it, they came to the conclusion that in many classes of solutions there is no cross-platform. This applies, among other things, to PLM systems, and not only imported ones. The director of the Rosatom IT department noted that there are no Russian solutions of this class that can be launched on a Russian OS.

In this area, the company is ready and finances custom-made developments of domestic analogues of such software. Rosatom, for example, has a project of the SPZhC (full life cycle systems), which is aimed at cross-platform.

We must make such a PLM system that will use cross-platform DBMS, operating system, office packages, - said Abakumov. - Will we succeed quickly? I think that everything will work out, but this task is definitely solved not in one day.

The director of the Rosatom IT department also said that in 2020, Rosatom introduced simplified purchases for Russian software.

This is also a very difficult story for us, because as soon as we introduce a simplified purchase, it becomes non-competitive, and this affects our competitive purchasing indicators. We are in a very interesting story when, on the one hand, import substitution is the right design, and on the other, you cannot always legally do it as prescribed in the procurement law, "Abakumov explained.

Launch a Single Digital Strategy 3.0

At the end of August 2020, it became known about the implementation in Rosatom of a unified digital strategy (ECS) 3.0, which was approved a few months earlier. Within the framework of this program, state corporations have formed roadmaps on end-to-end technologies, quantum computing, new production technologies and import substitution. This was announced by the director of the IT department of Rosatom Yevgeny Abakumov at a meeting of the Russoft Association.

He spoke about the directions of digitalization at Rosatom, presented the updated ECS to the members of Russoft and explained how the state corporation is undergoing a large-scale digital transformation of all processes in conjunction with the set of tools of the Rosatom production system (AKP) with 4.0 technologies.

According to Abakumov, Rosatom translates production and business processes into "digital," and one of the key tasks of the state corporation was the integration of lean production into smart solutions, primarily into automation.

As part of the import substitution strategy, the issue of creating domestic software solutions for business that Russian developers have not developed before has become acute, Abakumov said. Customers want to get an analogue of SAP, and the developer may take three years to create a comprehensive system. In addition, there are risks that the finished product will not be in demand on the market. In general, to create system software solutions for large companies, comprehensive work is needed, including with the Ministry of Industry and Trade, said the head of the IT department of Rosatom.

He added that the company uses its own ERP system. Accounting, personnel production and other standardized elements are borrowed, and business processes for production at Rosatom were prescribed themselves. Also, according to Abakumov, there are elements of SAP that are needed when working with foreign assets, where their standards have been developed.^[1]

Coronavirus crisis pushes Rosatom to a total transition to electronic document management

Evgeny Abakumov, Director of the IT Department of Rosatom, on August 27, at an online meeting with members of NP Russoft and journalists, told TAdviser about how the epidemic of the new coronavirus infection affected the digital strategy of the state corporation. Speaking about the domestic side of the situation, he noted that, firstly, due to the pandemic, the company accelerated processes related to remote work: what was planned to be done in one and a half to two years was done in 3 months.

It was a difficult story, Yevgeny Abakumov admitted. Many employees went to remote work, they were provided with a solution for remote access, which is now in use. Initially, in terms of timing, this was supposed to be done by the end of 2020, but as a result it was done in the spring.

Communication interaction has significantly increased. What people had not used in their normal lives before has become very widely used, Abakumov added.

He explained that, speaking of everyday things, the strategy also partly affects, since the strategy focuses on the situation that is developing. Some of the lessons of the epidemic will remain in the future, believes the director of the Rosatom IT department.

We understand that we will not take all people to the office, and if we do, it will be a story related to the "flashing" schedule where possible. Accordingly, projects aimed at ensuring the remote work of not only office employees, but also designers, technologists, engineers will develop and receive support from us, "says Evgeny Abakumov.

Projects on distributed teams will also receive support. Since the tools have received a new momentum in the current environment, it would be logical to distribute what the company has talked about a lot. Practical steps in this direction forced the epidemic to make.

And exactly in Rosatom there will be more classical documentary electronics, added Evgeny Abakumov. He explained that the state corporation carried out projects related to electronic document management, absolutely simple things on its scale. Thus, at the end of 2018, a project was completed on the electronic document flow of primary accounting documents. And this year, the question arose of not limiting itself to this and trying to do such work on the entire document flow, which is carried out both with the external and internal world, said the director of the Rosatom IT department.

There are projects related to remote acceptance of work, for example, when you have to hand over something to the customer, and you cannot. And if this is a foreign customer, now there are problems associated with the physical arrival of people to the site from another country, "says Evgeny Abakumov.

And this happens not only in connection with the epidemiological situation, he added. Therefore, what is now proposed to support this will definitely go to Rosatom in industrial life in the future.

But if we got somewhere MVP (minimum viable product, minimum viable product - approx. TAdviser), which works, but which definitely still needs to be "improved," the strategy will be aimed at making these solutions as much as possible in our life, - summed up the director of the IT department of Rosatom.

Rosatom is preparing to transfer the first jobs to Russian office software

In 2020, Rosatom set itself the task of transferring more than 4 thousand first jobs to domestic office software and an operating system, said Evgeny Abakumov, director of the Rosatom IT department, on August 27 at an online meeting with members of NP Russoft and journalists.

And I understand that if I had not started it, but worked with a supplier from the market, then, of course, I could not write such a TK, - said Evgeny Abakumov.

As a result, he says, products will be purchased on the market, but the task of integration will be carried out by internal forces and resources.

This is a huge challenge for the Russian IT market, because now there will be a trend when large companies will strengthen insourcers, and not because they are very interested in it or they need to "vacuum" the market, but because the very scheme of interaction with the market today is difficult illogical in this part, believes the director of the Rosatom IT department.

2019

A new version of Rosatom's digital strategy. Top Priorities and Objectives

On December 20, 2019, Rosatom presented to the management of the state corporation a version of the unified digital strategy 3.0. The final approval of this version will take place in January 2020. TAdviser announced this in Rosatom on December 25, 2019.

Rosatom approved the first version of the Unified Digital Strategy (ECS) in 2018. This document implies the digital transformation of all divisions and companies included in the state corporation, in particular, the Rosenergoatom concern. In the process of implementation, current additions are made to the digital strategy of Rosatom - by the end of the year. Accordingly, according to the results of 2019, the company made regular updates to the document. The adjusted document will be the third version of the unified digital strategy approved by Rosatom in 2018.

The ECC includes three key areas:

• Participation in the digitalization of Russia
• Digital products of Atomenergoprom JSC
• Internal digitalization

The ECC implementation is based on four fundamental blocks:

• end-to-end digital technology and data management,
• strategic partnerships and mergers and acquisitions,
• organizational changes,
• digital competencies and "digital" culture.

The key factor in the effective implementation of the strategy is also the launch and implementation of division digitalization programs.

To implement the ECC in 2019, a Digitalization Block was finally formed, which includes:

• Department of Digital Transformation,
• Departments of information technology the State Corporation "" and Rosatom JSC Greenatom","
• Project Office "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation,"
• LLC "SP" Kvant, "
• Process Architecture Center based on AKP JSC,
• ChU "Digital Institution for the Digitalization of the Nuclear Industry" (center for digital competencies of the industry),
• RuSat Digital Solutions LLC (a trading house selling digital products and solutions).

Participation in the digitalization of Russia

In 2019, ROSATOM became the competence center of the Federal Project "Digital Technologies" of the National Program "Digital Economy." The objectives of the Federal Project were 100% fulfilled in the reporting year. 105 projects worth 14 billion rubles were approved, 7 projects with the participation of the Russian nuclear industry in the amount of 941 million rubles received state support^[1].

In 2019, seven road maps for the development of end-to-end digital technologies in Russia were approved. The roadmap of the Russian nuclear industry for quantum computing has successfully passed stress tests in expert communities and federal executive bodies. Agreements were signed with the Russian government on its implementation. Within the framework of this agreement, a large-scale project has been launched, the key goal of which is to create a 100-qubit quantum computer in Russia in 2024.

The creation of a Russian quantum computer is one of the strategic tasks of digitalization of the country, the implementation of which will significantly reduce the gap with world technological leaders. Quantum computers are a new generation of computing devices thousands of times more powerful than existing ones. Potentially, they are designed to solve tasks that are currently unavailable, in particular in the field of cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and modeling new materials.

In 2019, the Liman project was successfully completed. In the course of the project, a technology for creating superconducting two-bit systems (a prototype of a quantum computer) was developed and one-bit and two-bit operations were demonstrated, allowing you to create quantum entanglement and implement any quantum algorithm in the future.

JSC Atomenergoprom is the organizer of a single "ecosystem" of various development centers, research institutes, technological startups and laboratories of universities to effectively coordinate joint activities on quantum computing. By the end of 2019, partnerships were created with the Functional Micro and Nanosystems Scientific and Educational Center of the Bauman Moscow State Technical University, the National Research Technological University and the Russian Quantum Center, which maintains scientific ties with leading scientists around the world, which will contribute to the return of domestic scientists from abroad to work in Russia.

Digital products

The structure of Atomenergoprom's product portfolio ‒ based on five priority areas:

• science-intensive modeling and R&D,
• enterprise and production management,
• digital infrastructure,
• design and construction/digital twins,
• information and physical digital security.

Each of the five directions has its own "flagships." Various divisions and organizations of the Company participated in their creation, and the first customers were leading industrial, energy and oil and gas companies - leaders in strategic sectors of the Russian economy. At the end of 2019, 149 developments were in the Company's "digital" register, of which 39 were created by external organizations.

In 2018-2019, the Company's digital products officially entered new commercial markets across all portfolio segments. The key priority for further work is the unification of industry experience and the transition from local IT systems to the development of digital products not only for nuclear power, but also for other sectors of the economy.

Science-intensive modeling and R&D

Logos ‒ a package of digital products created on the basis of many years of software and hardware developments of the Company. Logos is integrated into the work of more than 70 enterprises of various industries: aircraft industry, engine building, transport engineering and nuclear power. Logos consists of three digital products:

• Logos Aero-Hydro was launched in 2018 and is designed to simulate processes in air and water environments,
• Logos Heat was launched in 2019 and is designed to assess the thermal characteristics and modes of parts and assemblies,
• Logos Strength, which is scheduled to enter the market in 2020, is useful for solving static and dynamic strength problems.
• Volna ‒ this software and computing complex, which by the end of 2019 was used in a number of Russian gas transmission companies.

Enterprise and Manufacturing Management

The Digital Enterprise Full Life Cycle System (SPZ) ‒ a complex for managing enterprises with various types of production. The SPLC is based on a modular organization principle (key modules ‒ Enterprise Management, Production Management, Human Resources). This principle allows you to implement the system in parts, as well as give customers the opportunity to independently develop the product, since the system is supplied with source code.

Prism 2.0 ‒ a Russian automated discrete production management system that takes into account the peculiarities of the activities of instrument-making organizations in the Russian nuclear industry and other industries. The main advantages of the system are compliance with information security requirements, independence from vendors, a high level of readiness for rapid implementation.

The electronic store of technical documentation created by JSC Concern Rosenergoatom ‒ a modern online service for searching, ordering and obtaining regulatory, scientific and design technical documentation regulating all stages of the life cycle of nuclear power plants with VVER reactors. At the end of 2019, over 1,100 technical documents (more than 75 thousand pages) with annotations were posted in the store. For the convenience of foreign users, it is possible to buy materials in English.

Digital infrastructure

One of the priority areas for the development of the Company's digital products ‒ the creation of data centers (DPCs). The largest direction ‒ the reference data centers included in the global network of data cents connected to the NPP. Data centers in the NPP circuit have significant competitive advantages: stability of power supply and compliance with strict safety requirements (due to multi-barrier security of the industrial site). In 2019, in the city of Udoml (Tver Region), in cooperation with PJSC Rostelecom, the first such project ‒ the Kalininsky data center was put into commercial operation. This is one of the largest centers in Russia with an estimated capacity of 48 MW. The Company's data centers are ready to provide service to external customers on a commercial basis: for example, the administration of the Tver region became the first client of the Kalininsky data center. Complexes with a capacity of 5 to 150 kW were also put into operation: a modular data center, a high-load data center, a mobile data center, a container data center and even a micro-data center.

The Automated Tool Storage System (ASHI) is a convenient and understandable service from the Smart Cabinet category, clearly demonstrating how new production technologies can be used in practice at the enterprise. ASHI consists of a tool output module, a tool collection module and a control module. The system monitors and monitors the process of issuing and returning tools by employees in real time. Open protocol interfaces make it possible to quickly integrate ASHI into the information environment of any enterprise, which makes it possible to increase labor productivity and optimize warehouse storage.

Telecommunication Equipment (Access Switches). In 2019, the Company's Fuel Division launched a project to produce access switches - hardware and software telecommunication modules for the domestic digital communications market. The implementation of the project will enable the division to become a key supplier of high-tech solutions for building import-independent industrial telecommunications networks in Russia.

Design and Construction/Digital Twins

The Multi-D digital platform allows you to effectively manage all stages of the NPP life cycle, as well as other complex capital construction facilities. Multi-D is designed with maximum independence from import and export software restrictions . In addition, the customer still has the opportunity to connect components of other vendors or national software solutions.

By the end of 2019, Multi-D in various configurations was introduced and successfully operated in NPP construction projects in Russia (Kursk NPP-2), Egypt (El-Dabaa NPP), Hungary (Paks II), India (Kudankulam NPP) and Bangladesh (Rooppur NPP).

Information and Physical Digital Security

The Pilot Access Control and Control System (MCDS) is designed to check in real time access documents using a barcode or RFID technology during the passage of guests to protected facilities and areas of mass events. Pilot MCDS is a distributed information system covering structures in various cities (for example, stadiums). Integration into the Smart City project allows you to receive all information about attending mass events in real time for making management decisions.

Prototypes of the system were successfully tested at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and at the 2017 Confederations Cup. SKUD "Pilot" was fully used during the 2018 World Cup, the Winter Universiade in Krasnoyarsk in 2019, and by the end of the reporting year was installed at stadiums throughout Russia. In December 2019, Pilot MCDS received an award in the nomination "Contribution to the Development of Technologies" at the forum "Global Technological Leadership."

Internal informatization

In 2019, an industry center for the research, testing and testing of import-independent solutions was created. Import substitution projects for the main systems in ERP, industry standard APM (automated workplaces), a unified industry document management system (EOSDO) and industry IT architecture have started. In foreign branches, the Multi-D Docs & Resources electronic document management system for the open circuit was introduced and a robot was created for communication with the UOSDO for the closed circuit.

The company approved an approach to calculating the economic effect of digitalization, at the end of 2019 it amounted to more than 1 billion rubles.

In order to develop new production technologies, 27 organizations of the Russian nuclear industry underwent research, as a result of which the needs for solutions based on end-to-end digital technologies were collected and prioritized. More than 40 projects based on end-to-end technologies of Industry 4.0 were in the process of trial operation in various organizations of the Company.

Unified Digital Strategy 3.0. Rosatom is focused not only on the strategic goals of the state corporation, but also on promoting the implementation of the national program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation"

The third version of the unified digital strategy (ECS) will be implemented by the state corporation in 2020, TAdviser was informed at Rosatom.

At the same time, as noted in the company, in the version of the unified digital strategy 3.0. goals with their own term of 2030 are laid down. They consist in supporting the strategic goals of Rosatom and promoting the development of the national program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation." The document also identifies three priorities for the digitalization of Rosatom in 2020: the digitalization of the state corporation itself; creating digital products and bringing them to the commercial market; promoting the digitalization of Russia.

In accordance with them, Rosatom in 2020 will take action in the direction of import substitution, digitalization of the design of nuclear power plants (NPPs) and the introduction of digital technologies at work. In addition, the state corporation will create its own digital products, seek effects from the implementation of its digital projects and engage in developments in the field of quantum computing.

One of the features of the unified digital strategy 3.0, according to Ekaterina Solntseva, director of digitalization at Rosatom, was the integration of Rosatom division strategies with the unified digital strategy of the state corporation. These documents, in fact, became a continuation of the unified digital strategy of Rosatom.

Another feature of its third version is the inclusion in it of such a direction as the development in the state corporation of new digital technologies and projects based on them. Among them are all end-to-end digital technologies that are indicated in the corresponding road maps. In particular - artificial intelligence, big data and robotics.

In addition, according to Ekaterina Solntseva, Rosatom's digital transformation strategy, updated in 2019, distinguishes greater attention to the strategic partnerships of the state corporation in the "digital" market - due to the fact that it has a clear understanding of the movement in this direction.

The state corporation did not tell what costs the third version of Rosatom's digital strategy requires, noting that its budget is still being updated.

Complicate the implementation of the third version of the document, as TAdviser was told in Rosatom, a number of factors. Among them, in particular, the insufficiently strong integration between the divisions of the state corporation and the insufficiently effective use of personnel potential due to a lack of digital knowledge.

The unified digital strategy of Rosatom, approved in 2018, according to TAdviser in the state corporation, is designed for the period until 2030. It includes five interconnected elements: "Internal Digitalization," "Digital Products," "Promotion of Digitalization of the Russian Federation," "Organizational Changes," "Digital Culture."

At the same time, the strategy consists of 10 programs, each of which has its own roadmap. Among the strategy programs are "Re-engineering and digitalization of NPP construction processes," "Digital import substitution," "Digital twin and breakthrough technologies," "Digitalization of basic processes and corporate functions," "Digital products, ecosystems of developers and partners," "Marketing and image" Digital Rosatom, "" Architectures, infrastructure and user experience, "" Information security and process efficiency, "" Digital competencies and culture, "" Organizational changes within the framework of digital transformation. "

Rosatom's unified digital strategy consists of several horizons and stages. Among its horizons are the following:

• "Long-term horizon 2030 +" - with a focus on the formation of a competitive digital company with a significant presence in the Russian and world markets;

• "Horizon of state tasks 2024" - with a focus on achieving the tasks recorded in the "May decrees" of the president;

• "Medium-term horizon 2021" - with a focus on solving the problems of internal digitalization and creating conditions for achieving the goals of the state horizon and the vision of Digital Rosatom 2030;

• "Short-term horizon" - with a focus on solving the most important and urgent business problems that require priority solution through digitalization, based on road maps with quarterly detail.

The first stage of the strategy, with a period of implementation until 2021, consists in a detailed goal-setting based on the road maps of the document.

The second stage of the strategy with a period of implementation until 2024 involves the achievement of results in the implementation of the presidential decree "On national goals and strategic objectives of the development of the Russian Federation for the period until 2024." Such results, for example, are the creation of a stable and secure competitive infrastructure, the development and implementation of end-to-end technologies, the use of mainly domestic software.

Rosatom did not provide information on the remaining stages of the TAdviser strategy.

The key connecting element of the document, as noted in the state corporation, is the application by Rosatom of a product approach when creating digital solutions.

For the successful implementation and achievement of the goals of the strategy, significant organizational transformations of Rosatom, the adjustment of the decision-making system of the state corporation and other management mechanisms, as well as the formation of a professional team with all the necessary skills and competencies, and the development of a digital corporate culture are necessary, - said TAdviser in Rosatom.

Rosatom plans to deal with both its traditional products and develop developments in new areas for itself

Ekaterina Solntseva told TAdviser about the main digital solutions of Rosatom, which the state corporation will continue to deal with in 2020, as well as some of those already created by the company. Among the latter are such solutions as Logos, Volna, Multi-D, Prism 2.0, Digital Enterprise, Pilot, as well as data centers.

"Logos" and "Wave" are so-called "calculation codes." These developments allow you to make the calculations necessary for certain physical processes. So to speak, to "calculate" them. The Logos includes three large modules. Two of them, Logos aero-hydro and Logos heat, designed to calculate aero-, hydrodynamic processes, radiation and heat transfer, have already been released. The third module, Logos Solidity, will be released in 2020. It will allow you to calculate static and dynamic strength. The fourth module, Logos prepost, will also be launched on the market, but it is still difficult to talk about the timing of its release. This module is designed to process the results of other modules and create corresponding models based on them. Another product, Volna, was created and used by Rosatom in cooperation with Gazprom. It is designed to simulate the management of gas pipelines, - informed Ekaterina Solntseva.

The Multi-D system, according to her, is focused on supporting capital construction, Prism 2.0 and Digital Enterprise - on enterprise and production management.

"Prism 2.0" allows you to manage discrete production, linking design documentation and production in workshops, - explained Ekaterina Solntseva.

The access control and control platform for mass events "Pilot," created by "Rosatom," according to her, has already been installed at almost all stadiums in the country - where the Olympic Games and the World Cup were held.

Speaking about Rosatom data centers, Ekaterina Solntseva noted that among them are supercomputer, container and mobile data centers, as well as the largest To Europe DPC in -. "Udomlya" All Rosatom data centers, according to Solntseva, are intended both for internal use of the state corporation and for an external user.

Among the digital products that Rosatom will continue to work on in 2020, Ekaterina Solntseva highlighted developments in the field of digital power, demand management systems, network and telecommunications equipment, as well as a number of platforms - educational, Digital Mining Complex, Atom Space and RPA.

The Digital Production Complex allows you to simulate the bedding of minerals produced by enterprises, eliminating the need for expensive drilling. This Rosatom product, aimed at the commercial market, has already received support from the Digital Economy national program. By the beginning of 2021, it will be put into commercial operation. The wide range of modeling systems among Rosatom's products is due to the fact that the state corporation has a very strong team of relevant specialists. What is natural - at one time, when a ban on various nuclear tests appeared, Rosatom had to resort to mathematical models, - said Ekaterina Solntseva.

Atom Space, according to her, is an internal corporate communication platform for communication between Rosatom employees. Some of its many components have already been developed and are under testing, which began in June 2019. The platform will be put into commercial operation by the beginning of 2021.

The Rosatom RPA platform, as Solntseva noted, is also intended for internal corporate use. Its goal is to automate part of the routine operations of the state corporation. For example - registration of vacations and obtaining 2NDFL help. The RPA platform in Rosatom, according to Solntseva, is already partially functioning - about 20 processes are robotic in the state corporation. She found it difficult to name the period of robotization of the maximum number of operations at Rosatom, explaining that the processes subject to it in the state corporation change with a certain frequency.

Speaking about the educational products of Rosatom, Ekaterina Solntseva drew TAdviser's attention to such a development of a state corporation as a mobile learning system. This product, according to her, the company has already brought to the commercial market and it already has its own users. In 2020, Rosatom will improve it.

The development of a quantum computer, according to Ekaterina Solntseva, is being carried out by a project office created at Rosatom. In particular, it includes Moscow State University, MIPT, MISIS, REC FMN and FIAN. The task of the project office is to combine the efforts of key organizations and teams involved in development in the field of quantum computing and potential users.

The project for the production of telecommunications and network equipment is already being implemented and the state corporation will continue to develop it further in 2020. It's about creating switches. The need for their own production in the corporation arose from very significant purchases. Such that switches have become easier to produce by the company itself. The first release of Rosatom switches will take place in December 2020 or in January-February 2021, - Ekaterina Solntseva told TAdviser.

Among the future undertakings of Rosatom, she noted the massive import substitution of heavy digital products by the corporation.

Rosatom summed up the first results of digital transformation

In an annual report published in July 2019, Atomenergoprom, an integrated company within Rosatom State Corporation that consolidates the civil assets of the Russian nuclear industry, summed up its activities in the field of digital transformation. It was carried out in accordance with the digital transformation strategy approved by Rosatom in 2018.

The results are presented on the internal transformation of Rosatom divisions operating in different segments, as well as on the development of digital products and services for the external market.

Mining Division

As part of the implementation of the unified digital strategy of the Russian nuclear industry at the Khiagda uranium mining enterprise in Buryatia, a smart mine was put into operation - a system for modeling and tracking production processes in real time.

The main components of the smart mine are an information system, video surveillance and sensors, one per well, plus an additional one for each row of wells. At the same time, both software and sensors are Russian-made. The system records and records sensor readings in the database, analyzes what happens underground, how the volumes of production produced from the well change per unit of time, how productive fluids move, and monitors the operation of wells.

If, under the influence of pressure, the production solutions change the direction of movement, the system automatically adjusts the operation of the pumps so as to equalize their flow and return to the previous mode. If the filter becomes clogged, the system signals a problem.

All processes at Khiagda are controlled from the main control room. The operator sees on the monitor screens all production processes taking place in the main building, in the sulfuric acid workshop, at the local sorption plant, at the underground leaching site.

And at another uranium mining enterprise - Dalur in the Kurgan region - computer environmental modeling was used, which makes it possible to predict with maximum accuracy the assessment of the environmental impact during the operation of the field. Atomenergoprom notes that it was used for the first time in the world at a uranium mining enterprise in this particular project.

Fuel Division

In 2018, this segment implemented digital projects in the field of operational control and management of the production of fuel assemblies (FAs) for power reactors and their components at the Novosibirsk Chemical Concentrate Plant (NZHK). Digital projects were also carried out in the field of procurement, planning and accounting for repairs at the enterprises of the division, in the field of cybersecurity.

At one of the enterprises of the fuel division in 2018, a "digital twin of equipment" was introduced. According to Atomenergoprom, this made it possible to multiply reduce the design time and the cost of field tests.

Engineering Division

At the AEM-Technologies enterprise, a manufacturer of equipment for the nuclear, oil and gas industries and thermal power, in 2018, production equipment monitoring systems were optimized. The annual report claims that due to this, the adjustment time of equipment was reduced from 50% to 30% of the working time of the machine.

ZiO-Podolsk, Russia's largest manufacturer of high-complexity heat exchange equipment for fuel and energy enterprises, introduced a universal barcoding system at production, which allows you to automate the process of entering information by users and minimize the impact of the human factor on the correctness of the entered data.

Engineering Division

In 2018, an integrated program of digital transformation of the engineering division presented by the ASE group of companies was launched. Its goals were to develop an appropriate division strategy and concept for the digital platform and its infrastructure. The Multi-D technology platform developed by the company, according to the idea, should become a market service platform (an analogue of Predix - a cloud platform for industrial Internet from General Electric).

The goal of preparing "leaders of digital transformation" was also set: the formation of basic knowledge and skills among participants and teams that contribute to the further self-development and implementation of projects as part of the division's transformation.

In addition, the division implements the industry program "Digitalization of NPP construction processes." The program consists of five main areas:

• ensuring the quality of design due to the formation of a digital model of nuclear power plants,
• digitalization of end-to-end cross-functional and inter-regional production chains (end-to-end data transfer between systems at different stages of the construction life cycle),
• management of construction and IT structure of the construction site,
• development of Multi-D digital platform (NPP construction process control),
• introduction of an integrated system for managing the timing and cost of NPP construction.

Electric Power Division

The digital projects of this division are mainly related to products and services for the external market, judging by the annual report. For example, in 2018, the first stage of the data center near the Kalinin NPP was commissioned. Rosatom expects it to become the most powerful in Russia (80 MW) and one of the largest in Europe. The design service life of the center is 30 years.

As conceived by Rosatom, the creation of a network of such centers within the framework of the Mendeleev project should ensure equal access for Russian residents to digital public services.

One of the social objectives of the project is to increase investment attractiveness and create new jobs in the regions where data centers are located.

The division also implements the Smart Home project, conceived to save consumers on housing and communal services by introducing an intelligent resource management system. In 2018, in the Kursk, Smolensk, Tver and Murmansk regions, apartment buildings were selected in which work was carried out to install elements of this system. In the future, Smart Home should become a single access point with which residents will solve all issues in the housing and communal services sector based on digital technologies.

Digital Products and Services

In addition to products and services for external customers developed in the engineering and electric power divisions of Atomenergoprom, in 2018 the company launched a replicated digital product of the Russian nuclear industry - Logos Aero-Hydro. Created on the basis of the developments of previous years, it is a tool for 3D modeling of hydrogas dynamics processes, solving engineering analysis problems in high-tech industries.

The Digital Enterprise product was also developed - a comprehensive solution for managing various aspects of the activities of a large industrial enterprise and stages of the product life cycle, including design, design, production, procurement, finance, document management, transport, etc.

The Smart Home project, which is being implemented by the Atomenergoprom electric power division, is part of a larger project - Smart City, in which the company introduces automation and digitalization systems for production and sales processes. In particular, Digital Vodokanal allows you to manage water supply and drainage within the framework of the communal infrastructure in the city.

In 2018, agreements were reached on the introduction of Smart City in the cities of Snezhinsk, Ozersk, Zheleznogorsk, Zelenogorsk, Lesnoy, Novouralsk, Sosnovy Bor, Glazov and Zarechny.

Project "CORE": Rosatom creates a platform for the exchange of information at the horizontal level

The Rosatom change support team proposes to create an intra-industry platform for communication that will simplify the exchange of information at the horizontal level. The project was called "CORE" - "I am thinking about the development of the industry"^[2].

The idea of ​ ​ creating a tool for informal professional communication arose under the former head of Rosatom, Sergei Kiriyenko. In 2011-2016, the state corporation's order portfolio began to grow actively. Along with the amount of work, the number of requests for information increased. Requests are usually made by specialists who are busy producing the main product. In the context of a hierarchical management structure, these requests are received and answered by a manager of one level or another. The more projects are implemented, the more questions arise. And there comes a moment when the vertical is simply not able to pass through the required amount of information with all the desire. The bosses simply do not have enough time to deal with issues that subordinates can often solve themselves by receiving the necessary data.

There is a way out - you need to develop horizontal connections: to enable specialists engaged in production to receive the missing information from colleagues who own it. This is possible now, but the horizontal communication procedure is highly bureaucratic. Rosatom believes that the exchange of information can be organized on an intra-industry digital platform like a social network. There you can also create a database - solutions to certain problems, suggestions for improvement, etc.

The general director of Rosatom, Alexei Likhachev, appointed Sergei Obozov, director of development of the AKP, as the curator of the CORE project. ASE was chosen as the pilot site.

How it will work

"The main idea of ​ ​ the CORE project is to give industry specialists the opportunity to receive the necessary information by contacting colleagues directly," explains Yulia Romanova, project manager at AKP JSC.

She said that asking a question or signaling about the occurrence of problems in work will be possible both on your own behalf and anonymously.

The routing of requests will be carried out by a specially created control room. By the way, the dispatchers in any case will see the name of the initiator of the request - they decided to refuse complete anonymity in order to increase the responsibility of the questioners. Another function of the dispatcher is to clarify the wording of requests that are not clear.

After the request is clarified, they will first try to get a response to it from existing databases. If the necessary information is not found, the request will be sent to experts - their pool will be formed from among those who have knowledge and skills in a certain area and are ready to give advice. As the KERNEL project develops, an expert rating will be formed based on the assessments of the initiators of the requests. The authors of the requests will evaluate exactly the advice received, and not the identities of the experts. The assessment criterion is simple: the council helped in solving the problem or not. If the question turned out to be too difficult, a project team is created to solve it.

The final appearance of the Rosatom communication platform is still being discussed.

Motivation issues

To involve employees in the CORE project, a comprehensive motivation system will be developed. One of the useful practices can be adopted from ASE. There, anyone who has submitted a proposal for improvement can consider the economic effect of their idea. Then the calculations are verified by the company's economists, and the applicant receives 25% of the amount that was saved by applying the PPP. Remuneration is accrued after each implementation, not once.

At the installation session of the KERNEL project, which was held on February 21 in Moscow, they also discussed the protection of the initiators from the discontent of the direct leadership, which, as a rule, does not approve when subordinates are distracted from direct functionality. So far, the problem has not been resolved.

What's on the way out

The developers believe that the new platform will establish effective communication at the horizontal level. In most cases, line specialists will be able to overcome the emerging production difficulties themselves, having received the help of colleagues.

THE CORE is not just for communication. It is assumed that classifiers will be formed within the framework of the platform, which will increase the efficiency of using the existing databases of SGP, Knowledge Base, Atomexpert, AKP projects, etc.

The project "CORE" has already been approved by the top management of the state corporation. It is planned to test its concept before the end of the third quarter of 2019 at the ASE.

In 2018, Rosatom began, and in 2021 plans to complete the transfer of enterprises of the nuclear weapons complex (NWC) to a standard personnel management system based on a domestic platform. Yevgeny Abakumov, Director of the Rosatom IT Department, spoke about this at the TAdviser conference "Import Substitution: 2019: Real Experience" in February. Read more here.

ROSATOM's Unified Digital Strategy Developed

ROSATOM State Corporation has developed a Unified Digital Strategy, which was the most important step towards accelerating the digital transformation of the industry, ensuring import substitution, fulfilling obligations to the state as part of the implementation of the national program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation" and the development of civilian products by defense industry enterprises.

Priority areas of the strategy include: digitalization of the main internal processes and functions of the corporation; development and launch of Rosatom's digital products; participation of the State Corporation in the development of the digital economy, in particular - the creation of innovation centers for end-to-end technologies. An important element of the Unified Digital Strategy is cooperation with other large companies and corporations working on the development and implementation of digital technologies, educational institutions, IT market companies, development institutions, government bodies involved in the digital economy at the federal and regional levels, and other participants in the digitalization process both in the Russian Federation and in the world market. Part of the Unified Digital Strategy was the Program for Organizational Transformation, as well as the Program for the Formation of a Professional Team and the Evolution of a Digital Corporate Culture, which implies the development of digital competencies of all categories of personnel, including top management, middle and junior managers, and specialists.

"Serious

work has been done. Rosatom is a multidisciplinary corporation that unites the most diverse areas of activity. The task of developing a digital strategy that unites all digital initiatives of such a structure is very difficult. Rosatom's unified digital strategy is a comprehensive and deeply developed document, the creation of which was attended by representatives of all divisions of the industry. The strategy embodies our vision of the development of digitalization of Rosatom and its role in the digitalization of the country both for the long term - until 2030, and for the medium and short term - with detailed road maps for each direction of the Strategy. For example, on the horizon of 2020-2021, it is planned to obtain the first results of digitalization in terms of import substitution of foreign software, increasing the efficiency of basic processes and labor productivity, and reducing the timing of decision-making. On the horizon of 2024, we are moving towards the goals outlined in the May Decrees of the President of the Russian Federation, such as the creation of a stable and safe competitive infrastructure, the transition to the predominant use of domestic software, the digital transformation of the energy environment, the introduction of end-to-end technologies. It should also be noted that we realize that, despite its thoroughness, the created document is not forever eternal, since the digital world is changing very quickly. And we are planning an annual update of the digital strategy, "said Alexey Likhachev, General Director of Rosatom State Corporation.

"In accordance with the plan for the implementation of the national program" Digital Economy of the Russian Federation "in 2019, at least 10 strategies for the digital transformation of state corporations and companies with state participation should be approved. ROSATOM State Corporation, being at the forefront of the movement towards the data economy and being a center of competence in digital technologies, was one of the first to create its own full-fledged digital strategy. This is a good example of a confident movement towards fulfilling the goals of the Program, "said Evgeny Kovnir, General Director of the Digital Economy ANO.

Creation of the National Competence Center "Smart City"

Plans for the creation of Rusatom-Digital Solutions

In January 2019, the Board of Directors of Atomenergoprom (part of Rosatom State Corporation) decided to create a new company - Rusatom-Digital Solutions. It will be 100% owned by Atomenergoprom, and the authorized capital of Rusatom-Digital Solutions will amount to 80 million rubles. Atomenergoprom announced this on the website of the corporate information disclosure center. Read more here.

2018

Rosatom builds a unified digital strategy for the development of the nuclear industry

The development of a unified digital strategy, as well as the introduction and development of information technologies in key areas of the nuclear industry became the main topics of the meeting of the Information Technology Expert Council (ITP) of Rosatom State Corporation, which was held at the Kalinin NPP from November 7 to 9, 2018.

ITES is a leadership team, which includes heads of IT services of the divisions of the State Corporation and large IT enterprises. Evgeny Abakumov, Director of the Information Technology Department of Rosatom State Corporation, heads the Expert Council.

Members of the Information Technology Expert Council discussed issues related to the general strategy in the field of information technologies and digitalization of the industry, architectural and technological aspects of the development of Rosatom information systems and services.

Central to the discussion was the creation of "digital" production, which will allow enterprises to move to new ways of organizing production activities. "One of the promising digital products is the creation of a" digital twin "of the enterprise, completely repeating the characteristics of real equipment, on which you can change modes, predict state changes, etc.," said Evgeny Abakumov. "This technology will improve the safety of the nuclear power plant and make it possible to manage all stages of its life cycle from design to decommissioning."

According to Ekaterina Solntseva, Director for Digitalization of Rosatom State Corporation, the Kalinin NPP was not chosen for the meeting by chance. "The largest data processing center (DPC) in Russia is located near the nuclear power plant, which is central in terms of the prospects for the development of enterprise infrastructure and the digitalization program," she said.

From customers to IT suppliers: How Rosatom began to earn billions on digital technologies

Kirill Komarov, the first deputy general director, director of the block for development and international business Rosatom"," at PIEF May 2018, told what digitalization means for the state corporation, and how it earns money from this. Digitalization for Rosatom, he said, consists of three main parts. Firstly, being a corporation with a staff of more than 250 thousand people and 400 enterprises, Rosatom is now a huge consumer of digital products necessary for the effective organization of its activities.

At the same time, Rosatom itself is a manufacturer of digital products. This is the second part of digitalization for Rosatom, said a representative of the state corporation. Due to the peculiarities of Rosatom, which has long been engaged not only in civil, but also in defense, it initially produced a large number of goods and services for itself, unable or unwilling to withdraw them outward.

This gave Rosatom the opportunity to develop "completely unique technologies" in various fields of activity: from modeling industrial processes and calculations on supercomputers to digital developments in the field, for example, the design and construction of nuclear power plants (NPPs), says Kirill Komarov.

The representative of the state corporation said that the developments that Rosatom did, first of all, for itself, are becoming an increasingly popular market. The state corporation sees serious processes of changes in the requirements of its customers, and not only in the new businesses that Rosatom is developing. At the end of 2017, more than 20% of Rosatom's revenue in the civilian part of the industry was brought by new businesses, many of which are initially digital.

But even in areas familiar to Rosatom, such as the construction of nuclear power plants in Russia and around the world, we see what an increasingly serious role digital technologies play. And the point is no longer that they help us more successfully carry out projects for the construction of nuclear power plants, and this becomes an ultimatum requirement of our customers. Before construction begins, they need 3D models of nuclear power plants that can be deployed and seen how all the systems in it are interconnected, says the first deputy general director, director of the Rosatom development and international business block.

Kirill Komarov added that even in this usual activity for Rosatom to create a nuclear power plant, at least 20% of the business has already become digital. This, firstly, means large amounts of cash. The project for the construction of a typical two-unit nuclear power plant in the world costs about $10-12 billion or euro, depending on the country and the conditions, he cited.

In addition, this sets serious requirements for the partners with whom Rosatom works in such projects, because all processes begin to be interconnected. If the customer needs to show a fully digital product, then this digitalization starts from the machines on which the equipment for nuclear power plants is made, to the most complex automatic control and control systems that bind all elements of nuclear power plants together.

All this allows Rosatom to participate in the national digital agenda in Russia, Komarov noted: in the Digital Economy program implemented in Russia, Rosatom has been appointed one of the competence centers in a number of important areas, such as Big Data, virtual and augmented reality. This is the third part of the direction of digitalization for Rosatom.

According to Kirill Komarov, Rosatom brings its baggage of digital developments created within the state corporation, including the construction of a digital enterprise, multi-D technology for the construction of nuclear power plants and others, in order, in fact, to "share them with the whole country and give it the opportunity to rise to a new level of technological development."

Speaking about the level of technological dependence of industry projects on foreign vendors, Komarov noted that when Rosatom builds nuclear power plants in Russia, usually up to 97-98% in this station is a combination of Russian goods, works and services. Although, if you dig a little deeper, and see where these Russian goods, works and services came from, in a number of cases you can find "traces of the transfer of technologies and joint businesses," he says.

For example, looking at Schneider Electric, it has long been as Russian as it is French, since its presence in Russia, the number of its factories in Russia, created jobs do not allow me to identify it as a French company with all due respect to its roots, - said Kirill Komarov.

2015: Strategy for mastering high-tech markets

In April 2015 , Sergey Vlasov, Director of the Department for the Development of the Research and Production Base of the NPP Rosatom, spoke about the priority areas of high-tech products created as part of the civil developments of the nuclear weapons complex, about the plans and goals in these markets, as well as about the import substitution aspect of these developments.

Priority high-tech areas in Rosatom, in particular, include security systems , APCS, electrical engineering, computing tools and methods, laser and acceleration technologies.

Safety systems

Vlasov's report notes that Rosatom aims to reach the top three in the Russian market and the top ten in the global market for security systems. Enterprises of the state corporation cover the entire range of technical systems in this area: the product line includes access control systems, video surveillance systems, metal detectors, neutron systems, detectors of vapors and particles of prohibited substances, security and fire alarm systems, X-ray television systems and radiation monitors.

In total, Rosatom enterprises have equipped more than 10 thousand facilities with security systems. In addition to the objects of Rosatom itself, among them are buildings of state authorities Presidential administration(,, and Government of the Russian Federation) State Duma , Federation Council objects of law enforcement agencies (,,,), Ministry of Defence FSB MINISTRY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS FSIN objects (,,,), ENERGY INDUSTRY Gazprom Rosneft Lukoil Transneft transport infrastructure objects and many others.

APCS

In terms of APCS, Rosatom's goal is to develop the NPP market with a single industry solution and achieve sustainable positions in related industries (oil and gas industry, complex industries). The product line of Rosatom enterprises in this area includes integrated APCS, unified telemechanics complexes, APCS of energy and industrial facilities, control and control systems for gas well pads, debugging and simulator software complexes, software and hardware tools of operational dispatch control and software and hardware complexes of APCS upper block level systems.

Among the advantages of its APCS in Rosatom are the aspect that all types of equipment, units, devices, including printed circuit boards and modules with surface installation, are produced in Russia according to design documentation developed on the basis of domestic standards.

Calculation Tools and Methods

Rosatom aims to bring to the Russian market a domestic commercial simulation package and launch supercomputer an exaflops level of performance. Services and products of this area include services for computational modeling, a Shared Computing Center line of superComputers with a capacity of 1 to 100 Tflops, as well as an application ON for engineering analysis (LOGOS-CFD packages, LOGOS-Strength, Danko + Cheetah,), NYMPH which, according to Rosatom, covers up to 70% of industrial task classes.

Laser technologies

In terms of laser and acceleration technologies, Rosatom plans to launch its own laser diode emitters, direct-acting laser systems and laser equipment based on them. Most of the developments in this area are carried out at RFNC-VNIIEF. It is worth noting that the RFNC-VNIIEF is also creating the world's largest laser installation UFL-2M.

By the beginning of 2015, there were 14 clients in the portfolio of laser technologies, mainly in special and scientific fields. At the same time, the primary consumer of their laser technologies in Rosatom is machine-building. According to the plans of the corporation, in 2015 the portfolio of laser projects should be replenished with about 20 large engineering companies in the Ural region, and by 2017 - to establish partnerships with industry design institutes and form proposals for leading companies (automotive, aerospace, etc.).

Electrical equipment

Regarding electrical engineering, Rosatom's goal is to form effective partnerships and "sustainable supplies to the largest customers." These are large companies of the fuel and energy complex of Russia and neighboring countries. The range of products in this area includes transformer substations, voltage transformers, metal structures, etc.

Import substitution

The report of Sergei Vlasov emphasizes that the product strategy of the nuclear weapons complex is aimed at "full-scale import substitution in priority product markets and provides for the use of domestic technologies, materials and components."

It also notes that extensive scientific and technical cooperation with the oil and gas industry is underway in import substitution. In particular, with Gazprom: "A business community has formed that is a serious competition for Western companies. Dozens of private companies have been created that successfully compete in the Gazprom market. More than 10,000 specialists are involved in this activity, "the report says.

2014

New Chief information officer - Anastasia Chistyakova

In 2014, Anastasia Chistyakova was appointed Director of the Rosatom Information Technology Department. Information about this appeared in the section of structural divisions on the website of the state corporation. In her new position, she replaced Evgeny Charkin, who headed the IT department of Rosatom since October 2012, and in August 2014 moved to the position of Chief information officer at Metalloinvest. Read more here.

IT Transformation Results

In 2014, as part of Rosatom's IT transformation program, the development and replication of industry systems at state corporation enterprises continued. Among them are a unified document management system, an enterprise management system based on SAP ERP and 1C , personnel management systems based on SAP HCM and ETWEB, supplier relationship management systems based on SAP SRM, a project portfolio management information system, etc.

At the end of December 2014, the bulletin of the Rosatom IT transformation program, citing Anastasia Chistyakova, director of the IT department of the state corporation, said that at the end of the year the program was 60% completed.

In February 2015, many new enterprises will start in the target systems of the company, and Rosatom expects to achieve a program implementation rate of 70%. It is planned to complete the program in full in the first quarter of 2018, Chistyakova said.

According to her, in 2014, the bar was significantly raised on the quality of IT services provided by the company. Overall, the SLA (Service Level Agreement) has been tightened more than 10 times. For example, the target level of escort quality was raised from 95% to 99.7%. This means that only 3 out of 1000 calls (before 50) can be completed in violation of the SLA deadlines. Unscheduled downtime of corporate systems (failures) is reduced by 4 times. At the same time, the cost of support and support services for mass systems decreased by more than 10%.

One of the priorities of Rosatom's IT department in 2015 should be to improve the stability, speed and convenience of corporate systems. A big effect in the direction of systems development will be given by the transition to releases. This implies that all non-urgent improvements will now be carried out not one at a time, as before, but in groups.

What kind of improvements will be included in the release will be determined, among other things, by the initiators of requests for changes. The state corporation expects that thanks to this approach, urgent improvements, for example, related to legislation, will be carried out much faster.

According to Anastasia Chistyakova, after the completion of the IT transformation program, most likely, the main focus of the state corporation's IT strategy will move to design and design systems and production systems.

2013

Rosatom plans to become a cloud service provider

Rosatom is considering the possibility of providing free computing power of a supercomputer located in the Sarov Nuclear Center (RFNC-VNIIEF), and application software for mathematical modeling to third parties as a cloud service, told TAdviser on April 30, 2013 . Evgeny Charkin, Director of the Information Technology Department of Rosatom.

The supercomputer in question was developed by the specialists of the Nuclear Center and put into operation in 2011. The system does not appear in supercomputer ratings, but it is known that it has a petaflops level of performance (capable of performing over quadrillion operations per second) and is one of the most powerful in the country.

As part of Rosatom's program for the development of supercomputer technologies, RFNC-VNIIEF also developed packages of application software for industrial modeling, which were subsequently supplied to Russian industrial organizations. Among its users are Kamaz and OKB Sukhoi.

According to Yevgeny Charkin, the main users of the Sarov supercomputer are now scientific and design institutes that are part of Rosatom, which use the system mainly for design and simulation tasks.

Rosatom approached the provision of machine time and software for lease according to the cloud model to third-party organizations due to the fact that a number of organizations from the engineering and energy industries expressed interest in this, explains Evgeny Charkin.

"We are

now in talks with major telecom providers to provide sufficiently powerful channels to provide such a service," he adds.

It is worth noting that other owners of large supercomputers in Russia lease free capacity to third-party organizations. For example, SUSU, which also provides modeling services on its system for third-party organizations, as well as Tyumen State University. From commercial companies, remote access to high-performance systems and industrial software is provided, for example, by the T-Services company, which is part of the T-Platforms supercomputer developer.

IT Transformation Results

According to Rosatom reports, the creation and implementation of a unified automated procurement management system based on SAP SRM, including the achievement of an overall savings level for 2013 in the amount of more than 30 billion rubles. The volume of electronic purchases made using this system increased from 5% in 2008 to 99% in 2013.

The creation and implementation of the ROSATOM settlement center system ensured the economic impact of intra-group financing operations in 2013 in the amount of more than RUB 3 billion by increasing information transparency and efficiency of management decision-making.

The active use of a unified industry electronic document management system (EOSDO) made it possible to reduce the average period for coordinating protocols and orders by 6 times, ensured the absence of lost documents.

In 2013, unified enterprise resource management systems were put into commercial operation in the industry:

• The system based on SAP ERP was implemented at five large enterprises of the Fuel Division, a total of 13 enterprises operate in it;
• The system based on 1C ERP is implemented at 20 enterprises of the industry, a total of 60 enterprises operate in it.

In 2013, Rosatom continued to replicate the UOSDO on the basis of Documentum, which allows you to automate the management of organizational and administrative documentation and contractual work. By the end of the reporting year, the system was deployed at 47 enterprises with a total number of users of about 6640 people, in total the system works at 105 enterprises with a total number of users of about 33,550 people.

2011: The mysterious supercomputer of Rosatom

As of April 2011, the supercomputer system installed at Rosatom is the most mysterious in Russia. Its peak performance, according to a source in the state corporation, is 1 Pflops, but it is not listed in the Top 50 rating. Almost nothing is known about the tasks solved on the petaflopsnik.

In addition to high performance systems, the Rosatom-controlled Federal Nuclear Center in Sarov (RFNC-VNIIEF) also produces personal supercomputers. In 2010, VNIIEF transferred 15 such systems to eleven Russian industrial enterprises.

Together with the hardware, VNIIEF also transferred proprietary application software packages for validation to enterprises. The nuclear center expects that over time their software will allow replacing similar software for numerical modeling from foreign manufacturers.

As an example of the use of their "staff" in Rosatom, they cited joint work with OKB "Sukhoy" to create detailed computer models of large dimensions for calculating an emergency landing with an unreleased landing gear of a new medium-haul passenger aircraft. Superjet-100 In addition, Sukhoi uses mini-supercomputers to simulate the breakage of the fan blade of the new Burlak D30KP gas turbine engine and aerodynamic calculations of the Su-30MKI maneuverable aircraft under given cruise conditions.

At Kamaz, using Rosatom systems, modeling of dynamic deformation of the structure of the KAMAZ-43269 tracking vehicle during explosive loads is being carried out.

AtomEnergoProekt Saint Petersburg conducts design studies of strength properties of the melt localization body during thermal loading. Its results are used to justify the safety of nuclear power plants in the conditions of a hypothetical severe accident accompanied by the melt flowing outside the nuclear reactor vessel.

2009: Start of IT Transformation Program

Since 2009, IT projects at Rosatom have been conducted as part of the transformation program of the corporate IT platform (IT Transformation Program). It is aimed at unifying IT solutions and standardizing the business processes of industry enterprises and includes more than 150 projects. Initially, the program was designed for a period until 2014, but subsequently the deadline for its completion was designated 2018.
