The level of digital maturity of large and medium-sized manufacturing companies in Russia is 26.6%

On November 25, 2024, the Russian consulting company SBS Consulting shared with TAdviser the results of its study "Analysis of the level of digitalization of Russian manufacturing enterprises." The expediency of introducing new digital solutions and, as a result, increasing digitalization, is due to a shortage of labor, a deterioration in the production economy and an increase in the availability of technologies. According to experts, further growth in labor productivity in manufacturing sectors in Russia is associated with the need to increase the level of automation and digitalization of production processes.

The digital maturity of Russian enterprises in the study refers to the level of introduction of digital technologies, their integration into business processes, strategic management, as well as into goals at all levels of enterprise management and technological processes.

The SBS Consulting model for assessing the digital maturity of an enterprise includes criteria for introducing digitalization tools in three dimensions: enterprise management, process management, general management.

As of October 2024, the digital maturity of Russian industrial enterprises is still characterized by the chaotic use of individual digital solutions, while for 52% of companies the introduction of IT tools is not a priority. In addition, Russian large and medium-sized enterprises focused on the digitalization of business processes, and not production, which is influenced by the lack of financial, personnel, information resources in almost every second company. At the same time, the target IT architecture is determined by the implementation of technologies and ensuring their connectivity, security at all levels of management.

Management of only 22% of industrial enterprises implements digitalization tools consistently, tracking results. At the same time, 32.9% of companies have a digitalization strategy. 29.7% have those responsible for digitalization/development of IT infrastructure. In turn, 4.7% of companies have clearly marked digitalization metrics broadcast on information resources. More than 50% of Russian industrial companies have a base in the form of a secure IT architecture for the introduction of digital tools.

80.7 thousand rubles are the costs of introducing and using digital technologies per employee 1 on average for large and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises.

According to SBS Consulting, 26.6% is the level of digital maturity of large and medium-sized manufacturing companies, despite the increasing importance of digital development.

Each 5 company noted the effectiveness of the implementation of digital tools. At the same time, most of the companies declare that they did not see the effect, since not all digital development tools in different companies will affect the increase in the efficiency of the enterprise.

According to SBS Consulting experts, in order to systematically implement technological solutions, it is critical to develop and implement a strategy for increasing digital maturity, while simultaneously preparing employees to use IT tools. A correct and systematic approach to the transformation of the IT landscape contributes to increasing the competitiveness and efficiency of industrial enterprises.

5 main barriers to the digitalization of industry in Russia

The digital maturity of industrial enterprises in Russia is characterized by the chaotic use of individual solutions. Moreover, for more than half of the companies in this sector, the implementation of IT tools is not a priority. This is stated in a study by SBS Consulting, the results of which TAdviser got acquainted with in mid-November 2024.

Digital maturity refers to the level of adoption of digital technologies, their integration into business processes, strategic management, as well as into goals at all levels of enterprise and process management. It is noted that further growth in labor productivity in Russia is associated with the need to increase the level of digitalization of industrial enterprises. The authors of the report emphasize that in the industrial sector of the Russian Federation there is primarily a digitalization of business processes, and not production operations. This is due to the lack of financial, personnel, information resources in almost every second company. At the same time, the target IT architecture is determined by the implementation of technologies and ensuring their connectivity, security at all levels of management.

In the study, the assessment of digital maturity is based on Rosstat data on the use by large and medium-sized companies of digital technologies and advanced production technologies by industry, as well as on the database from open sources and websites of companies. The digital maturity model includes criteria for implementing digitalization tools in three areas: enterprise management, process management and general management. The authors of the report identify five main barriers that deter the digitalization of industry in Russia:

• The use of digital technology is not the priority of the organization - this was stated by 52% of enterprises that face difficulties;
• Too high costs compared to benefits - 49%;
• Underdeveloped ICT infrastructure - 42%;
• Shortage of qualified personnel - 41%;
• The lack and poor quality of the data arrays required to use digital technologies is 41%.

The study showed that as of 2024, business processes are automated using an ERP system for every seventh Russian manufacturing enterprise. More than 50% of domestic companies have a base in the form of a secure IT architecture for the introduction of digital tools. At the same time, the management of only 22% of industrial enterprises introduces digitalization tools consistently, tracking the results.

It is noted that the shortage of labor, the deterioration of the production economy and the increase in the availability of technologies determine the feasibility of introducing new digital solutions in the long term. In order to increase the level of digital maturity, analysts recommend ensuring:

• Development of a digitalization strategy/digital development unit in the overall development strategy of the company;
• Prepare staff for digitalization tools to eliminate resistance, as well as for employees to understand their role in changed processes;
• Evaluation of the optimal budget that the organization is ready to spend on the development and maintenance of digital solutions;
• Selection of specific digitalization tools that will lead to further development and increased efficiency;
• Assessment of the degree of digitalization of the company based on the proposed criteria.

In addition, enterprises, according to the authors of the report, should study the offer in the market, make sure that there are personnel in the labor market who ensure the implementation/maintenance of digital solutions due to the departure of foreign companies and the outflow of IT specialists.^[1]

Oil and gas companies in Russia have created the "Consortium of Technological Independence of Industrial Software"

Large oil and gas companies in Russia have united to create an autonomous non-profit organization called the Consortium for Technological Independence of Industrial Software (ANO KTN IPO). This became known in August 2024. This initiative is aimed at ensuring the technological independence of the oil and gas sector by developing and implementing domestic IT solutions. Read more here

One Digital Space in Industry: Myth or Tomorrow - TA Opinions

Integrating different enterprise IT systems into a single digital space has many advantages, but in practice this concept can be difficult to implement. About the problems that arise when creating a single digital space in industry, market participants told TAdviser in July 2024.

According to experts, the integration of various IT systems in enterprises into a single digital space provides significant advantages in terms of efficiency, data management, decision-making and support for advanced technologies. One of the key advantages of a single digital space is the ability to coordinate actions and decisions, quickly receive information, solve problems in two clicks. Long-term planning is possible, costs are significantly reduced. Integration platforms can reduce the number of errors in everyday processes by 70%, says Andrey Korotkov, director of the integration solutions department at Satel.

A single digital space "allows you to solve various problems from seamless execution of regular processes at all steps to automated reporting

At the Moscow State Technical University named after N.E. Bauman, for example, they see the advantages of deploying a single IT infrastructure in oil companies in which vertical communications work quite well (information goes to the head office and management decisions come back from there), and worse - horizontal communications (interaction between departments). Earlier in July 2024, Rosneft introduced its own single digital platform that will unite all IT services and solutions of the company.

The introduction of unified digital spaces is hindered by the lack of uniform protocols and difficulties in integrating with corporate solutions, said Sergey Stolper, director of business development at the Three Points IT company. In addition, the implementation is complicated by the requirements for import substitution of production systems, since not all solutions have comparable analogues, said Denis Pashchenko, Deputy Director of the Information Security Department of Step Logic. According to him, the implementation of the idea requires a sufficient degree of standardization and documentation of production and business processes.

Not everyone is ready to do this in practice, so the project may fail at this stage. There is little readiness of the environment itself - investments and the ability to fully implement all ideas on its basis are needed, "Pashchenko believes.

Alexey Ponomarev, Head of Innovative Technologies at TeamIdea, agrees with this point of view. He added that in reality, many industrial enterprises are not ready to invest part of the profits to implement hypothetically convenient and effective software, without understanding the real conversion from this project.

It is very difficult to implement a single digital space in the enterprise due to the variety of solution classes (from APCS CAD and instrumentation to/CAM/CAE, PLM/ILS, MES, MR, and/DSS) ERP and their BI technological stacks (from outdated programmable instrument controllers to modern platforms with elements), says artificial intelligence Alexander consultingReksoft Consulting Chernov, manager of the digital solutions development group of the production direction. This leads to the need to create a universal and developed integration platform, which requires significant resources, both human and financial. Also, the company should have a high-level leader who oversaw the entire process, added the interlocutor of TAdviser.

According to Dmitry Vladimirov, director of the BIA Technologies product office, the use of disparate tools and services may lead to the fact that in the future, in order to create a single digital space, the entire infrastructure will have to be rebuilt. In addition, as the expert emphasized, this approach creates interdependence: the use of several tools implies the risk of failures in the work of any of them.

Oleg Hyatsintov, Technical Director of DIS Group, sees the creation of a single data space as an excellent opportunity to get a "single version of the truth" - an accurate duplicate of data from the organization's systems, used for analytics and reporting purposes, as well as other systems.

On the other hand, the process of building such a space itself often involves difficulties in understanding the essence of the data and the ability to extract it from each specific organization system. And no one has canceled the solution to data quality problems. The space should be convenient for working with data, and not just a warehouse that cannot be approached. Otherwise, it simply won't be used, "Hyacintov said.

Alexey Statenin, head of the QA department of the IT company SimbirSoft, draws attention to the fact that the development of a single digital space will require deep immersion in technologies, features and business processes of production, this greatly increases the cost of the project when involving an integrator or developer of custom software. The implementation of such a domestic decision may face the fact that the internal processes of the enterprise are not debugged and they have to be built before digitalization. In addition, the transition to a single digital space will require changes in work processes and the need to adapt to new technologies, Statenin noted. Significant investments and restructuring of processes are required to reach the integrated system, agrees Evgeny Alexandrov, head of the laboratory of molecular modeling at the NTI Center "Digital Materials Science: New Materials and Substances" at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University.

Experts interviewed by TAdviser, despite the numerous barriers that hinder the development of unified digital spaces at enterprises, consider such projects an important step towards increasing the competitiveness of Russian industry. Globally, the task is to develop uniform standards and rules of integration, to make services work together, summed up Simpl Development Director Veronika Teploukhova.

Ministry of Industry and Trade has developed rules for storing industrial data

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has developed rules for storing industrial data. Artem Sheikin, a member of the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building, spoke about this in May 2024.

The safety of such data is strategically important, and for this it is necessary to form legal foundations that would regulate the procedure for handling such information, - said the senator in a conversation with TASS.

Ministry of Industry and Trade has developed rules for storing industrial data

According to him, industrial organizations, software developers and specialized associations are interested in disseminating such practices for working with industrial data.

According to Vedomosti, the document prepared by the Ministry of Industry and Trade divides industrial data into state (federal and regional state authorities) and commercial ones. The second concerns data and information on ways to carry out professional activities that are of commercial value.

According to the initiative of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Centers of Competence will monitor the activities of industry-specific industrial data entities for their compliance with the requirements and develop national standards. According to the bill, liability for violations of requirements is determined by the current legislation. The harm caused to the subject of industrial data must be compensated in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.

Artem Sheikin expressed confidence that the turnover of industrial data will have a positive effect on the processes of digitalization, the development of artificial intelligence technologies, and will affect the improvement of the quality, efficiency and productivity of industrial production in Russia. Also, according to the senator, this will help increase the competitiveness of Russian products obtained in industrial activities.^[2]

2023

The introduction of industrial computing and big data at enterprises in Russia since 2020 has grown by 57.9% and reached 11.5 thousand projects

In Russia, there is an active introduction of industrial computing and big data technologies. In 2023, a total of 11.5 thousand such solutions were used, which is 57.9% more compared to 2020. This is stated in the review of the Institute for Statistical Research and Knowledge Economics of the Higher School of Economics, published on November 20, 2024.

It is noted that, despite significant positive dynamics, the share of industrial computing technologies and big data in the total volume of advanced production technologies (PPT) used in Russia is small - about 4.1% by the end of 2023. In general, BSAs cover technologies and technological processes (including the equipment and software necessary for their implementation) controlled by computer, based on microelectronics and/or the use of digital systems and used in the design, production or processing of products (goods and services), including the organization of relevant processes. The share of industrial computing and big data technologies in various segments of the Russian market is as follows:

• Mineral production minerals - 5.1%;
• Manufacturing - 1.4%;
• Provision of electric power, gas and steam; air conditioning - 5.2%;
• Water supply, water disposal, organization of waste collection and disposal, pollution elimination activities - 2.8%;
• Information and communications activity - 20.2%;
• Research and development - 3.4%;
• Professional, scientific and technical activities (except for scientific research and development) - 5.7%;
• Higher education - 8.6%;
• Other areas - 0.8%.

The study says that in the structure of the used BSAs, the largest group consists of production, processing, transportation and assembly technologies: they account for 96 thousand solutions, or 34.5% of the total. In this group, the most common equipment with numerical program control is 41.4 thousand, 14.9% of the used BSA. This is followed by technologies of communication, control and geomatics (54 thousand, 19.4%), design and engineering (40.1 thousand, 14.4%). The latter are mainly represented by computer design and modeling technologies, virtual product development (37.9 thousand, 13.6%).

Significant growth was recorded in the segment of production information systems and technologies for automating production control - plus 52.2% in the period from 2020 to 2023: the final result was 31.4 thousand, or 11.3% of the total number of BSAs.

The authors of the study emphasize that most of the BSA used in the economy in 2023 were developed in Russia - 192.3 thousand, or 69% of their total number. Moreover, this indicator remains almost unchanged from 2020. The most significant share of domestic solutions (76.6%) among the used design and engineering technologies. Positive dynamics is observed in the use of domestic technologies for industrial computing and big data: since 2020, their share has grown from 60.7% to 70.3%. The segment of solutions in the field of production information systems shows an increase from 68.4% to 74.7%, in the field of "green" technologies - from 68% to 71.1%.

It is said that design and engineering solutions are intensively used by organizations engaged in the field of scientific and technical activities, research and development - 49.9% and 26.7%, respectively. At the same time, communication, management and geomatics technologies play the role of end-to-end solutions, which are equally in demand by organizations of various types of economic activities.^[3]

Mishustin approved a strategy for the digital transformation of manufacturing industries. Main provisions

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree approving a new version of the strategic direction in the field of digital transformation of manufacturing industries related to the field of activity of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. The corresponding document was published in November 2023. It contains five key ecosystem projects:

• "Smart Manufacturing";
• "Digital Engineering";
• "Future Products";
• "Technological Independence";
• "Intellectual state support."

The first three projects were finalized compared to the previous version of the direction, and the last two appeared in it for the first time, the press service of the Cabinet notes. The Smart Manufacturing project focuses on professional retraining of employees to work with Russian software, taking into account the tasks of switching to the use of domestic engineering and industrial software. Also, this project involves the formation of a model of educational and educational and methodological centers that will be able to provide industrial enterprises with highly qualified personnel. The most successful models will be scaled up throughout the country, the government stressed.

Innovations in the Digital Engineering project are associated with the creation of universal industrial marketplaces, where a ready-made infrastructure will be presented for the creation and sale of products on the principle of "from idea to market."

The project "Products of the Future" includes the transition of enterprises to a more flexible model of conveyor production, which will allow the production of products that meet individual consumer requirements.

Among the tasks of the new project "Technological Independence" is to stimulate demand for Russian software and domestic computer equipment, as well as equipment and software from friendly countries. The project also involves an increase in the share of enterprises using Russian information protection tools. In addition, within the framework of the project, industrial enterprises should organize interaction with the National Coordination Center for Computer Incidents for a timely response to cyber threats.

The new project "Intellectual State Support" involves the transition to a digital model of state financial support. Thus, it is planned to increase the share of enterprises using the State Information System of Industry (GISP) as a navigator for state support measures. The task is also to increase the number of enterprises using GISP as a platform for the selection and examination of applications for financial support. In addition, it is planned to reduce the reporting load of industrial enterprises by organizing electronic interaction between market participants and authorities on the basis of an information system.

Commenting on the updated version of the strategic direction at a government meeting on November 9, 2023, Mikhail Mishustin noted that the implementation of his key projects also involves a significant expansion of the use of artificial intelligence, neurotechnologies, mathematical modeling and virtual tests, robotics and mechatronics at enterprises.

The new direction will become part of the Consolidated Strategy for the Development of the Manufacturing Industry for the next seven years, which the government is now implementing, and should have a positive effect on the overall dynamics of the country's gross domestic product and, of course, at the level of well-being of our citizens, "Mishustin emphasized.

Government of the Russian Federation Order of November 7, 2023 No. 3113-r

What affects digitalization in industry in Russia

Modernization of the Russian economy and digitalization in industry is facilitated by foreign capital. This is stated in a study by the Higher School of Economics () HSE and, the Ural Federal University (UrFU) results of which were published in early September 2023.

It is noted that in the Russian Federation there are positive shifts in digitalization. This is facilitated by the introduction of robotic complexes, artificial intelligence and 3D printing. However, in the current geopolitical situation, the potential for modernization of enterprises may be noticeably reduced. The fact is that it is foreign capital that contributes to the introduction of robotization in industry, and companies with foreign owners demonstrate higher productivity.

Imported robots until the beginning of 2022 occupied up to 96% of the corresponding market in the Russian Federation. At the same time, the share of direct imports by companies did not exceed 9% and accounted for less than 1% of enterprises. The Kommersant newspaper notes that these are mainly large companies with foreign capital and exporting enterprises, that is, internationalized companies with higher productivity. The researchers concluded that importing robots does not give such companies performance advantages, however, "the performance premium from importing robots for non-internalized companies is comparable in size to the effect of exporting or raising foreign capital."

As of the beginning of September 2023, efforts on the technological development of the Russian Federation are aimed at reengineering and developing technologies already existing on the global market, access to which has been lost due to the geopolitical situation. Analysts believe that this will lead to a slowdown in digitalization in industry.^[4]

The Ministry of Industry and Trade counted 96 projects in the field of domestic industrial software

With the support of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, 96 complex projects are being implemented in the creation of domestic industrial software, for more than 50% of them successful implementation results have already been obtained. On August 22, 2023, Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov at a meeting of the Council for Strategic Development and National Projects, which was held by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Thus, we consistently ensure technological independence in the field of digital design, testing, production itself and life cycle management, as well as after-sales service, "he said.

In terms of software and hardware solutions, groundwork is formed in specialized industrial centers of competence (ICC), Manturov said. In total, 53 projects of industrial competence centers were approved by the government through the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Among the particularly significant, the Minister of Industry and Trade noted the development of engineering analysis tools, as well as the management of production and technological processes.

He also stressed the need for technological audits in relation to state-owned companies and companies with state participation with the development of recommendations for robotization. Based on their results, requirements will be established to increase its level. To do this, it is planned to create centers for the development of industrial robotics.

From the statement of the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, it also follows that by August 2023, an assessment of the level of digital maturity of enterprises is being carried out. This figure is about 45%, by 2030 it is planned to increase it to 85%.

In addition, Denis Manturov noted that modern robotic solutions are being integrated into the work of enterprises. By August 2023, 7 domestic companies are engaged in the production of industrial robots, in 2022 they shipped 120 units of products to customers.^[5]

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has developed a new strategy for the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry until 2030

In August 2023, the Ministry of Industry and Trade developed an updated strategy for the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry until 2030. The new version replaced the editorial office from 2021 and differs from it by the absence of the New Employment Model project - instead, the department decided to develop the Technological Independence and Intellectual State Support projects.

These changes in the Ministry of Industry and Trade were associated with the "geopolitical situation and external economic conditions," as well as with the narrowed capabilities of the federal budget. In addition, the ministry pointed to new trends in digitalization, a course towards achieving technological sovereignty and the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies.

The New Employment Model project, which is no longer in the strategy, involved the creation of an exchange of competencies and services that ensure increased labor productivity. and the transition to digital government, that is, the provision of state support services using the infrastructure of digital platforms, as well as the creation of intersectoral data models (data networks for use by enterprises and IT companies).

As Kommersant writes with reference to the new document, problems from the current strategy migrated to it - low labor productivity, a high share of scrap in the production of technological goods, a long journey from idea to market. Among the new threats are the increased level of cybercrime and technological dependence on foreign solutions.

The central strategy of the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry remains the Smart Production project, which will become an indicator of the digital maturity of enterprises. It is planned to spend 8.5 billion rubles on it in 2024-2026. of which 42% will be from the federal budget.^[6]

Russian industrialists want to create an open APCS architecture in contrast to Siemens and GE

The industrial sector has recently been actively discussing the idea of ​ ​ creating an open APCS architecture for Russian enterprises. Companies from several industrial competence centers (ICCs), including Severstal, participate in the discussion of this initiative, said on May 17, 2023 at the demodn of the IC Metallurgy, deputy chairman of this ICC, CEO of Severstal-Infocom Sergey Dunaev.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade begins to subsidize the introduction, and not the development of digital platforms for industry

In April 2023, it became known about the transfer in Russia of subsidies for digital platforms for industry from development to implementation. For these purposes, the government allocates about 1.6 billion rubles.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade presented a draft resolution suggesting that from 2023, government decree of April 30, 2019 No. 529 "On the approval of the Rules for the provision of subsidies to Russian organizations to reimburse part of the costs of developing digital platforms and software products in order to create and (or) the development of the production of high-tech industrial products "will be implemented in the form of support for the introduction of digital platforms and (or) software products in the industries.

The draft resolution establishes the goals, conditions and procedure for providing subsidies to Russian organizations producing industrial products produced in the process of carrying out economic activities related to manufacturing to reimburse part of the costs of introducing digital platforms and software products in order to increase the level of "digital maturity" of industries, the explanatory note says.

The materials of the Ministry of Industry and Trade also say that the following projects will have priority for receiving subsidies:

• providing for the introduction of digital products and solutions developed as part of the implementation of particularly significant projects by industrial centers of competence (ICC) to replace foreign industry digital products and solutions, including software and hardware complexes, in key sectors of the economy;
• providing for the introduction of digital products and solutions operating using modern technologies, including artificial intelligence technologies;
• projects of Russian organizations, in respect of which the autonomous non-profit organization "Digital Productivity Technologies" assessed digital development and gave recommendations to increase labor productivity due to the growth of "digital maturity."^[7]

Digital transformation is one of the national goals of the Russian Federation until 2030, approved by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 474 of July 21, 2020. It is proposed to evaluate it in the document according to the target indicator "achieving digital maturity of key sectors of the economy." It is clear that industry, both mining and manufacturing, is among such industries and that its digital transformation, launched before the coronavirus pandemic, is necessary. How did the change in the composition of industrial software suppliers presented in Russia affect this process?

About the difficulties faced by enterprises, as well as Russian suppliers and integrators of solutions for the digitalization of industry, about the tasks that unexpectedly came to the fore, as well as about the expected results of 2022 - read the new TAdviser review.

Mishustin allocated tens of millions to equip hazardous production facilities with DVRs

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree, which allocated additional ones from the budget for equipping hazardous production facilities with DVRs. The press service of the Government of the Russian Federation announced this on July 19, 2022.

According to the document, To Rostekhnadzor more than 82.6 million are allocated from the reserve fund of the Cabinet. rubles DVRs will be equipped with production facilities of hazard classes I and II. This is necessary to reliably confirm the state of such objects, as well as to submit, if necessary, the results of video recording to law enforcement agencies or to the court in case of violations.

Video surveillance systems in enterprises have an increased level of complexity of installation, since it must cover many areas, both internal and external - main production, auxiliary production, warehouses, administrative buildings, perimeter, etc.

It is noted that the decision on additional funding for equipment with DVRs of hazardous production facilities was made on behalf of the president. Russia Vladimir Putin

At the beginning of 2022, Putin instructed by April 1, 2022 to ensure the installation of DVRs under state supervision at hazardous production facilities.

The Government of the Russian Federation shall ensure the use of video recording devices (DVRs) in the implementation of federal state supervision in the field of industrial safety in relation to hazardous production facilities of hazard classes I and II in order to reliably confirm the condition of facilities during the inspection period, facts of violations of mandatory requirements, as well as submission, if necessary, of the results of video recording to law enforcement agencies or to the court, - said in the order of the Russian leader.[8]

A domestic PLM complex for mechanical engineering has been created. By 2025, aircraft and shipbuilders will be able to use it

Russian enterprises massively use foreign engineering software - Siemens, Dassault Systemes, Autodesk, etc., because there are no domestic fully functional analogues of heavy PLM complexes in Russia. Those Russian solutions that are available on the market so far close only a part of the functionality of foreign CAD, CAE, CAM, CAPP, MES, PDM, PLM and other engineering systems. With their help, until recently, it was impossible to create complex projects that included millions of parts, for example, turbines, aircraft, sea and river ships.

In 2015, Russian engineering software developers merged into the Development consortium in order to evolutionarily assemble a fully functional PLM complex from individual systems and solutions based on their own geometric core, which can compete with Western developments. As of 2022, Development includes ASCON, TeSIS, Eremex, ADEM, APM and Sigma Technology. The partners of the consortium are Laduga, SeaProject, Digital Manufactory.

Alexander Golikov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ASCON Group of Companies, said that in 2019 the consortium published a roadmap for the creation of a heavy PLM complex. By April 2022, a solution has been created that allows you to design high-complexity engineering products. It is being tested at production, after which it will be finalized. According to him, the Russian PLM complex can already be used in mechanical engineering. Read more here

Government reveals details of digital transformation strategy for manufacturing industries

In November 2021, the Government of the Russian Federation revealed the details of the strategy for the digital transformation of manufacturing industries. The document captures a number of industry problems:

• low labor productivity;
• inefficient use of resources, high cost of production;
• low efficiency of production facilities;
• high proportion of marriage;
• Long time to market process
• high cost of ownership of industrial products;
• high transaction costs and complexity of forming responsible cooperation chains.

The strategy center is the Smart Production project - within its framework, an infrastructure will be formed to support the implementation of Russian software and hardware and software systems. According to Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, financial support for domestic projects in the field of industrial software will quadruple. In particular, we are talking about the introduction of domestic computer-aided design systems (CAD/CAE/CAM) and product life cycle management (PDM/PLM), in parallel it is proposed to introduce restrictions on foreign analogues (prohibitions and quotas in procurement).

The tasks of digital transformation of manufacturing industries are defined:

• stimulating demand for industrial products in the domestic market;
• creating conditions for the growth of investments in research and development, including the development of new production technologies;
• creating conditions for increasing the level of cooperation between Russian enterprises, stimulating the integration of Russian producers into world supply chains, stimulating increased labor productivity and stimulating the export of Russian industrial products.

The implementation of the strategic direction will be carried out with the participation of development institutions, entities in the field of industry and the IT industry.

STRATEGIC DIRECTION in the field of digital transformation of manufacturing industries

Mishustin approved the program of digital transformation of industry

Prime Minister RFMikhail Mishustin approved a digital transformation program for the manufacturing industry. According to the authors of the initiative, it will stimulate the processes of digitalization in industry, will create additional tools to solve the problems inherent in manufacturing industries. This was announced on November 8, 2021.

According to the press service of the Cabinet, the document provides for the active introduction of six key innovations into production practice: artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things, augmented reality technologies, new production and communication technologies. They are expected to help increase labor productivity, reduce production costs and speed up the launch of goods on the market.

The order provides for the implementation of four projects:

• Within the framework of the Smart Production project, it is planned to form an effective system for supporting Russian software solutions for the manufacturing industry.
• Digital Engineering provides for the introduction of virtual product testing technologies.
• The "New Employment Model" is aimed at improving personnel selection mechanisms.
• "Products of the future" - to expand the possibilities for customization of products (production of products under the order of a specific consumer).

According to Mikhail Mishustin, as a result of the implementation of four innovative projects in the manufacturing industry, the Russian industry will be able to produce at least 70% of high-tech products by the end of 2030.

The document is synchronized with state programs and national projects and approved for the period up to 2030. In order for it to remain relevant, once a year it is allowed to make changes to it, the Cabinet of Ministers specified.^[9]

Russia is the first in the world to approve standards in the field of digital twins

In mid-September 2021, Russia was the first in the world to approve standards in the field of digital twins. The corresponding document, approved by Rosstandart and put into effect on January 1, 2022, was called "Numerical Modeling" - GOST R 57700.37-2021 "Computer Models and Modeling. Digital product twins. General provisions. " Read more here.

Ministry of Industry and Trade presented 5 projects for the digital transformation of the Russian industry

In mid-July 2021, the Ministry of Industry and Trade presented a strategy for the digital transformation of manufacturing industries. In this document, the department proposed five main projects in this area:

• Formation of an effective infrastructure and support system for the implementation of domestic software and software and hardware systems (Smart Production project).
• Creation of a national standardization and certification system based on virtual testing technologies (Digital Engineering project).
• Transition to customized industrial products and state repairs (project "Future Products").
• Formation of a new model of employment in industry (project "New model of employment").
• Transition to digital public administration (Departmental program of digital transformation of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia).

According to the plans of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the implementation of this strategy will lead to the fact that by 204 30% highly qualified workers employed in industry will receive orders using digital platforms (marketplaces). By 25%, the cost of servicing high-tech products will be reduced due to the transition from "repair according to the regulations" to "repair according to the state" and the use of predictive analytics technology. Other expected results by 2024:

• The fund return will be increased by 50% due to the use of cooperation chains;
• 45% reduction in the time of forced downtime of production facilities;
• 1.5 times reduced the time for launching high-tech products on the market by recognizing the results of virtual tests;
• The return on investment in Russian industrial enterprises was reduced by 30%;
• An exchange of capacities of industrial enterprises based on GISP was created.

By January 1, 2022, the Ministry of Industry and Trade will form at least 550 digital passports of backbone industrial enterprises, by the end of 2024 - at least 9 thousand.^[10]

The Ministry of Industry and Trade, together with the Ministry of Digital Development, the Ministry of Economic Development and the Federal Antimonopoly Service, will establish the conditions for admitting foreign engineering software when making purchases (bans, restrictions, quotas, preferences when buying domestic software). Until that time, changes will already be made to regulatory legal acts regarding the establishment of admission conditions.

The Government of the Russian Federation will control the implementation of the strategy on the basis of the report of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the document says.

Among the risks, the Ministry of Industry and Trade highlights, for example, social ones, which include the preservation of harmful industries, injuries, hidden unemployment and the outflow of personnel from Russian enterprises to foreign ones. In addition, the ministry notes a high level of interregional differences in the development of infrastructure, human resources, the quality of state institutions, which can reduce the overall effect of the measures taken to stimulate the digital transformation of industry.

There are also economic risks due to the "unsatisfactory current financial position of a significant part of industrial companies" (low profitability or unprofitability of current production), a high financial burden on companies (almost all companies currently have significant loan portfolios), the difficulty of returning credits due to long payback periods and the lack of free working capital for the implementation of digital transformation programs.

Taking into account the fact that the degree of depreciation of fixed assets in the manufacturing industries is about 60%, there is a high probability of man-made accidents and environmental damage, as well as the emergence of additional costs when creating new and technical re-equipment of old industries, the document says.

The manufacturing industry includes ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, chemical and petrochemical industries, mechanical engineering and metalworking, forestry, woodworking and pulp and paper industries, glass and porcelain and faience industries, food and microbiological industries, medical, as well as printing industries. The share of the Russian market in any of the key classes of systems does not exceed 30% - this is an extremely low indicator for solving such problems as ensuring the transformation of industry through the introduction of domestic software products, the document says. The problems of industrial enterprises in the implementation of functions for digital design include complete or partial import dependence, difficulties with the interaction of enterprises in terms of integration due to different data formats, non-compliance of software with the necessary level of information security, the Ministry of Industry and ^[11].

By 2023, 75% of businesses will have comprehensive road maps for digital transformation

On July 2, 2021, Rockwell Automation, together with IDC, announced the results of a study that identifies the main trends in the digitalization of industry in the EMEA region (which includes Russia) for 2021 and subsequent years. Based on the results of a survey of representatives of more than 400 industrial companies, the study tells how companies have adjusted their approach to digitalization in the face of uncertainty and how these changes have influenced and will continue to affect them in the future.

Digitalization covers most large manufacturing companies. However, the pandemic has forced enterprises to reconsider their approach to technology adoption, demonstrating the need to speed up this process and thereby approach Industry 4.0.

2020 demonstrated the need for a global digitalization strategy. Companies failing to cope with the "digital divide" were trying to adapt, while those who took the opportunity and made significant progress in Industry 4.0 were actively developing. Specifically, the study found that 70% of manufacturing companies in EMEA have accelerated technology investment in response to challenges. And by 2023, 75% of enterprises will have comprehensive road maps for digital transformation.

Key points addressed in the study:

• Management of breakthrough technologies in production;
• Development of a strategic approach to digitalization;
• Creation of highly efficient processes;
• Transformation of personnel experience;
• Protection of technological infrastructure in the future;
• Improving efficiency by implementing a holistic digitalization strategy;
• Achieving real business results by focusing on convergence of technologies and processes;
• Availability of a connected technological toolkit and high data quality.

According to a study by Rockwell Automation and IDC, most enterprises in a wide variety of industries will increase their investment in technology. In particular, investments in technologies for collecting, processing and managing big data will grow by 40% by 2022, "comments Gennady Bylov, CEO of Rockwell Automation in Russia and the CIS.

IDC expects that by the end of 2021, 90% of all production supplies will be invested in the technologies and business processes needed to ensure sustainability, which in turn will lead to a 5% increase in productivity, said Jan Burian, head of IDC Manufacturing Insights EMEA, IDC.

National standards of smart production have been developed in the Russian Federation

On January 18, 2021, it became known about the development in Russia of national standards for smart production. The documents were created by the infrastructure center of NTI "Technet."

According to the press service of RVC, the new standards form the basis for the creation of two new series of national standards in the field of Industry 4.0. They are devoted to virtual production systems and the convergence of digital technologies and IT systems in industrial enterprises.

The standards were developed within the framework of the national standardization program for 2020-2021, formed taking into account the proposals of the technical committee 194 "Cyber ​ ​ physical systems" in terms of standardization of digital technologies. Two documents have been issued:

• PNST "Smart production. Hardware behavior catalogs for the virtual manufacturing system. Part 1. General Provisions defines the Equipment Behavior Catalog (HCP) and HCP requirements to represent the dynamic behavior of the equipment instance. This process plays an important role in setting up virtual manufacturing systems used to model and validate planned manufacturing processes, and to monitor current manufacturing.

• PNST "Production automation systems and their integration. Evaluation of the convergence of informatization and industrialization for industrial enterprises. Part 1. The structure and model "defines the basic principles of the process of integrating information technology into industrial production. The application of this standard will help enterprises in the transition to the systematic use of digital technologies in industry.

As noted by Alexey Borovkov, Vice-Rector for Promising Projects of SPBPU, Co-Head of the Technet Working Group of NTI, Head of the NTI SPBPU Center, the development of standards allows us to form general technical requirements in the field of smart production for all high-tech companies, which is ultimately aimed at forming technological superiority of the domestic industry.^[12]

2020

The most pressing problems and consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic for the Russian industry have been identified

On September 23, 2020, it became known that the organization "" Digital economy together Ministry of Industry and Trade Russia with the Group of Companies "" Zyfra conducted a study aimed at identifying the most pressing problems and consequences of the pandemic COVID-19 for, the Russian industries as well as obstacles to the digitalization of industries. Most of all, the interviewed experts noted the high cost IT of solutions for the digitalization of production processes, the insufficient level of digital maturity of business employees and disruption of supply chains.

As explained, the authors of the study set themselves the goal of identifying the most pressing problems and consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic for industry, the necessary "digital" measures to solve each of the indicated problems, priorities for the digital transformation of industrial companies in the near future, taking into account the pandemic, as well as the role of business and the state in solving these problems.

The COVID-19 pandemic has certainly had an impact on the changes taking place in industry. The problems of digital immaturity of companies have been laid bare. The current circumstances not only forced to accelerate the process of transition of companies from automation to digitalization, but, as a result of the shortage of investment resources and with an understanding of the importance of technology introduction, will force to revise internal digital strategies. " told Pavel Khristenko, director for industry areas of the organization "Digital Economy"

The surveyed companies see the high cost of digital transformation projects as the main obstacle to the digitalization of industry. Two other pressing issues - initially low levels of automation and digitalization and distrust on the part of staff resisting change - acting on companies at the same time create a "vicious circle" of distrust of technology.

As the study showed, helping to overcome the voiced problems will help, first of all, training staff to work with digital services and improving computer skills (34% of respondents noted this as a priority measure). The second way to overcome problems on the path of digitalization is to provide financial benefits and concessions to business on the part of the state (29%). The third method is the modernization of production and the creation of complex digitalization strategies by enterprises (21%). Amendments to regulatory regulation as a way to solve industrial problems were named by 18% of respondents.

The survey also showed that the issues of safety at work, the preservation of the health of workers and ensuring the protection of business were not the primary task of entrepreneurs, the more important task was to preserve production. At the same time, the changes that have taken place have shown that the main resource of enterprises is people. And it is the improvement in employees' skills with digital technologies that will overcome the consequences of the pandemic and be ready to repeat such events.

Industry is a conservative industry, innovation is gradually being introduced here. Some companies expect from the "leaders" a positive experience of using "smart" technologies, others - limited in finance and are afraid to invest the last funds in modernization, the most short-sighted - simply do not see the point in it. But you can deny the need for a digital "upgrade" as much as you like, the fact remains: artificial intelligence and the industrial Internet of things are the future. The refusal of managers from technological transformations hinders the development of IIoT in Russia and is a threat to the loss of the country's competitiveness on the world stage. noted Pavel Rastopshin, Managing Director of Zyfra Group of Companies

The study participants expressed the greatest interest in favor of production technologies. If you look in more detail, the survey participants noted the relevance of resource management, organizational management (engineering, design) and data management about the product and its life cycle. The second and third places in the voices of the study participants among technologies are occupied, respectively, by industrial robotic complexes and the Internet of Things.

Probably, due to the fact that the main problems for companies (in addition to high cost IT solutions) are issues related to the digital maturity of employees and heads of organizations, as well as the general low level of automation - enterprises are interested in technologies to increase employee efficiency through digital management technologies. Technologies, IoT, AI cloudy technologies ,/, ARVR distributed registry systems to a lesser extent have properties that are valuable to enterprises in terms of digitalization.

From the point of view of enterprises, for the full development of the digital economy, the state is expected to help, first of all, in the form of creating favorable economic conditions for the business that implements digital transformation, promoting training and professional development of existing employees, allocating subsidies/soft loans for digital transformation projects and creating an environment for the emergence of domestic suppliers of digital solutions.

In general, the survey participants believe that the pandemic and the digital solutions found during it helped to improve the management of enterprises, but did not affect the production of goods so much. Nevertheless, certain changes in the production process have occurred. Strengthening and improving controls have improved productivity by reducing human influence, accelerating recovery of disrupted supply chains, and returning demand to pre-crisis levels. In addition, the pandemic as a force majeure situation allowed to reduce the regulatory burden on business, which facilitated the activities of some enterprises. And it would be good to maintain such indulgences for some time (1-2-3 years). Data collection for the study was carried out by interviewing the expert community, representatives of industrial enterprises of Russia and India of various types of activities, as well as representatives of industry FNIV/ROIV. The study involved 251 respondents.

The head of Rosatom proposed to create a national industrial platform based on Russian technologies

On September 23, 2020, the head of Rosatom, Alexei Likhachev, proposed that Rosatom and Rostec create a national industrial platform in Russia.

We have an initiative. We would like to think about a national industrial platform with the coordination of the Ministry of Ministry of Digital Development. About a serious such, complex, formed on Russian technologies, tool that allows to solve the main problems of all industrial enterprises in the horizon of the next five years in all aspects. This is the work of smart sensors, and the processing of big data, and artificial intelligence, and predictive analytics. This is a multiple reduction in production costs, "said Alexey Likhachev.

He also expressed confidence that both Rostec and Rosatom have such competencies that "can, as a mosaic, fold this platform." According to Likhachev, its creation is a serious, complex task and, "in a sense, as the first atomic project."

As when the whole country created the nuclear security system of the Soviet Union, today the whole country must look into the future and create a digital security system, primarily industry - well, of course, the military-industrial complex. The task is extremely ambitious. We, in principle, are ready for it, - said Alexey Likhachev.
