Industrial Internet of Things - IIoT Industrial Internet of Things in Russia

2024: Industrial data network is being created in Russia

In October 2024, it became known about the development in Russia of a trusted industrial network (DPS) for data transmission. The project, which is planned to be implemented by 2030, aims to create a domestic secure infrastructure for the exchange of information between different levels of industrial systems.

According to Vedomosti, referring to sources in industrial companies, the structures of the state corporation Rosatom are developing the network. DPS will include domestic means of industrial automation, such as programmable logic controllers, instrumentation and automation, as well as dispatch control and data collection systems (SCADA).

The main goal of the project is to provide support for Russian interfaces and protocols, as well as to guarantee the reliability of industrial networks in the context of the departure of foreign vendors from the Russian market. The project provides not only the creation of a technical infrastructure, but also the revision of regulatory regulation, the development of a domestic electronic component base and design support tools.

Denis Frolagin, Director of the Production Consulting Department of Reksoft Consulting, noted that over the past 40 years, several industrial network standards have been developed in the world, which are widely used in Russia. Replacing or flashing existing industrial elements that use these standards can be extremely difficult and costly.

Anton Salov, head of Cloud & IIoT at J'son & Partners Consulting, suggested that the NGO KIS, the Rosatom structure that forms the ecosystem of solutions for critical information infrastructure, could take the lead in creating traffic police.

Experts emphasize the importance of ensuring information security in industrial networks. According to BI.Zone, in the first half of 2024, the largest number of cyber incidents was recorded in industry and power - 38% and 37%, respectively.^[1]

2023

The Russian industrial Internet of Things market grew by 5% to 144.4 billion rubles

The Russian market for the industrial Internet of Things in 2023 grew by 5% compared to 2022 and reached 144.4 billion rubles. On January 18, 2024, the Kommersant newspaper wrote about this with reference to analysts.

According to analysts' forecasts, by 2026 the volume of the IIoT market will amount to 189 billion rubles. This segment will influence companies from various industries, as they seek to increase business efficiency through automation of production processes, as well as due to the need for import substitution of equipment and technologies due to the departure of foreign vendors from the Russian market.

The Russian market for the industrial Internet of Things in 2023 grew by 5%

The consumer IoT market grew 21% in 2023. At the same time, in 2024, it is expected to be reduced by 10.6%. The volume of the Smart Home market at the end of 2023 rose by almost 19%, to $1.7 million. In 2024, it will grow another 9.5%, researchers expect.

MTS estimates the costs of IIoT solutions in the Russian Federation at the end of 2023 at 70-80 billion rubles. The company noted that after the departure of foreign manufacturers from the Russian market, there was a need for import substitution of many controllers, SCADA and MES systems at enterprises. It is necessary to create domestic analogues, added to MTS. The largest deficit is observed in the field of equipment for IIoT, as well as in industry software, added to MegaFon.

According to Kommersant, government initiatives to stimulate demand for IoT devices in the public sector may become the driver of the growth of the Russian industrial Internet of Things market. So, according to the roadmap of the national project "Data Economics," the authorities intend to expand and centralize city intelligent video surveillance systems, create an IoT platform for managing production processes at enterprises, introduce Internet of things devices in housing and communal services, etc.^[2]

90 billion rubles will be invested in the industrial Internet of Things in Russia

internet of things Russia 90 billion will be invested in the industrial one until rubles 2030. This is stated in the road map for the development of the industrial one approved by the government, software they write on February 10, 2023 "" with Sheets reference to this document.

It follows from it that the market volume of domestic solutions based on IIoT technology by 2030 should reach 147.25 billion rubles against 79.6 billion rubles in 2022. At the end of the year, the market was estimated at 50-80 billion rubles, Andrei Kolesnikov, director of the Internet of Things Association, confirmed to the newspaper. The market share of domestic industrial solutions by 2030 should be 82.74%, in 2022 it was 54.1%, indicated in the roadmap.

For the development of the IIoT platform, a subsidiary of Rosatom T-KOM is implementing a project for the production of telecom equipment

By 2023, according to the government's plan, a domestic IIoT platform based on big data should appear for managing discrete and continuous production in agriculture, mining, industry, power and communal services, construction, education, transport and logistics. The platform will collect information from built-in sensors, which will allow you to monitor the operation and loading of production lines in real time.

For the development of the IIoT platform, a subsidiary of Rosatom T-KOM is implementing a project for the production of telecom equipment. The company itself manufactures switches to build and upgrade the data networks needed to deploy IIoT networks and devices.

The percentage of platform Russian solutions for IIoT will grow rapidly by 2030, since Western vendors have left and will not renew licenses, experts interviewed by the publication believe. So far (by February 2023), non-imported Russian companies are using the OSI Soft PI System, AVEVA System Platform, PTC ThingWorx, Siemens MindSphere, Honeywell, Emerson and Yokogawa platforms, they say.^[3]

Market growth by 4% to 7.92 billion rubles - iKS-Consulting

The volume of the Russian industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) market in 2019 reached 7.92 billion rubles, an increase of 4% compared to the previous year. Such data from iKS-Consulting analysts were released at the end of May 2020.

As Izvestia writes with reference to these experts, the market in 2019 grew largely due to the activities of developers of IIoT solutions, integrators, telecom operators), who chose IIoT as one of the strategic directions. Government initiatives to digitalize industry and develop end-to-end digital technologies also support interest in it.

The Russian market for industrial Internet of Things in 2019 grew by 4%

According to experts, the bulk of the 40 projects carried out in 2019 fell on manufacturing, mining and mechanical engineering, and monitoring systems, control of the mining transport complex and projects using the "digital twin" technology became popular solutions in the field. 

Pavel Svarnik, Executive Director of the Center for Strategic Development and Digital Transformation of Lanit-Integration, in a conversation with the publication, noted that the most complete integration of IIoT into the digital landscape of the enterprise and platform products comes to the fore for customers. Interest in projects of niche and local players will decline, he expects. As for the introduction of the principles of deserted production and remote personnel management systems, they will be postponed to a later date, the expert believes.

Konstantin Boltrukevich, Deputy General Director for Industrial Industries at Technoserv, sees cloud technologies as a source of strong momentum for the IIoT market, since, according to the expert, they are able to provide the necessary level of mobility, remoteness and independence from the involvement of the enterprise's human resources, which are required to implement and support the industrial Internet of Things.^[4]

Rostec estimated 5.5 trillion rubles benefit from IIOT for the Russian economy

On May 20, 2019, it became known about Rostec's forecast for the economic effect of the introduction of the industrial Internet of Things, which is a set of technologies that is needed to connect equipment with different applications, platforms and control systems, collect and process data. The state corporation believes that the use of such technologies in different areas of the economy will provide 5.5 trillion rubles of additional revenue and savings.

The benefit of IIoT for the Russian economy is reported in the roadmap of the end-to-end technology "Industrial Internet" under the national project "Digital Economy," which was prepared by Rostec. Vedomosti journalists got acquainted with the presentation of the document.

"Rostec" expects that the introduction of the industrial Internet of things will have an economic effect of 5 trillion rubles

According to Rostec, the industrial Internet of Things is able to give the greatest value in the non-resource industry and mining - the economic effect of the introduction of the technology is estimated at more than 1 trillion rubles in each of the industries. In agriculture, electricity and logistics, the effect will exceed 500 billion rubles.

As the representative of "Rostec" told the publication, the roadmap will describe the development of technology until 2024, so all indicators in it are tied to this deadline.

Rostec was chosen by the road map operator for four of the nine end-to-end digital technologies as part of the implementation of the Digital Economy national project: 5G wireless technologies, the industrial Internet of Things, Big Data and blockchain systems.^[5]

Promising directions of application of IoT technologies

TAdviser spoke with experts from domestic IT companies performing projects in the field of the Internet of Things, and found out what are the most promising areas of application of IoT technologies, primarily IIoT, in Russia.

One of the main applications of IIoT will be monitoring of industrial equipment and technological processes

Thus, in the context of the measures taken by the government to digitalize the Russian economy, the use of IoT solutions in the state and near-budget sphere seems very promising.

For example, this is optimization of the sphere of municipal transport and the use of other municipal property, automation of supervisory tasks of various kinds. A very large security market, which will only increase against the background of recent events, - cites the example of Ilya Appolonov, head of the IoT group at ICL Services (iSiEl Services).

Another "hype" theme that could become one of the most powerful IoT drivers is SmartCity. The topic is very promoted, understandable and supported by a simple layman. It carries obvious benefits to both municipal authorities and residents of cities.

In most countries of the world, this direction is successfully developing due to a transparent and effective PPP model. Unfortunately, this model is still far from perfect in our country, in order to attract investors to SmartCity PPP, the state will need to finalize it and, possibly, formulate additional guarantees, "says the Ilya Knyazev CEO of the company ("PSS" Group of Companies). Aplana

Another relevant and promising areas are those related to RFID technology. According to Dmitry Evdokimov, CEO of HeadPoint, this technology, among other things, is actively supported at the government level, and relies on the experience of successful projects.

According to Alexander Grebennik, CEO of RUTI Inventas, for IoT, based on RFID technology, the most promising areas are the fashion industry, the market for car tires, both goods and objects of operation, industrial automation, any industry focus, as well as global monitoring of air lag.

In addition to RFID, according to Dmitry Evdokimov, directions related to data analysis: AI and BI will receive significant development.

The number of sensors and "connected" devices is growing rapidly, and we need to learn how to use this data, he says.

Andrey Shuravin, head of the IoT department for work with industrial enterprises of Technoserv, believes that in 2018 the main area of ​ ​ application of IIoT will be monitoring of industrial equipment, as well as technological production processes.

Such projects are relatively inexpensive and "short" in implementation, while the effect can be obtained almost immediately, he notes.

Anna Plemyashova, Director of Strategy and Development at Beltel Datanomics, believes that the Internet of Things market is inexhaustible - industry, transport, smart cities and energy efficiency, construction, agriculture and retail. The interest of the state allows us to hope that this technology will be actively used, for example, in medicine and housing and communal services.

It is important for IoT solution providers to focus on the industry, as business processes in different industries can vary significantly. A deep understanding of production technologies will allow you to implement IoT projects faster and more efficiently and increase the number of success stories, she says.

Trends in the Russian Internet of Things market

One of the main trends in the field of the Internet of Things in Russia is the monitoring systems for the effectiveness of the use of core assets. For industry - these are machines, for retail - first of all, trading equipment, for logistics - vehicles and warehouse equipment.

In addition, companies have an active interest in predictive diagnostic systems that allow them to assess the technical condition of the equipment, reduce downtime and reduce the number of defects.

At the moment, we are observing a stage of experiments on the market. However, it is quite difficult to predict where it will lead. For example, not so long ago, the whole world was "making noise" about smart home technologies. But now we are observing that all the excitement was reduced in fact to security alarms and teapots or light bulbs controlled from a smartphone. I believe that the basis for the development of the IoT market is a quick development cycle and constant experiments. Thus, you can quickly launch prototypes on the market and select the most effective and viable ones from them, - notes Vyacheslav Maksimov, director of industrial solutions at CROC.

Another trend is associated with the introduction of integration solutions from the class of situation dispatch centers, which allow you to see all the processes of the enterprise, including the processes of the material world, in a single decision-making center.

The use of IoT for monitoring manufactured products is still losing out on the tasks of optimizing and improving internal processes and indicators of companies. This is partly easy to explain by the fact that at this stage of IoT development in Russia, companies are ready to invest only in what has a good payback period and a high probability of success, and, as you know, product improvement is still a long investment with a non-guaranteed outcome, "says Ilya Appolonov, head of the IoT group at ICL Services.

Ilya Knyazev, CEO of PSS (Applan Group of Companies), identifies three main trends:

• the largest IoT projects are concentrated in the "hands" of state corporations - Rostelecom, Rostec, etc.;
• due to an increase in the number of players, the project base gradually reduces the cost of IoT solutions, simplifies their implementation;
• in IoT, STRs are becoming increasingly widespread.

Dmitry Evdokimov, CEO of HeadPoint, calls the development of communications for the transmission of "digital" information a trend and, as a result, a decrease in the cost of data transmission. In addition, he notes the growth in the number of "connected devices" and their variety.

According to Alexander Grebennik, General Director of RUTI Inventas, in Russia, one of the main trends in the IoT market has been set by the Federal Project for Labeling Consumer Goods.

And, despite the seeming consumer segmentation, such as consumer protection from counterfeiting and counterfeiting, the project stimulates the penetration of the Internet of things immediately in both vertical and horizontal planes. From manufacturing to retail and from light industry to petrochemical, he reports.

Anna Plemyashova, Director of Strategy and Development at Beltel Datanomics, answering a question about the main trends in the IoT market, mentions edge computing technology - transferring key workflows from the cloud to the periphery of users for reliability and security. According to her, this may not be the main trend in the Internet of Things market, but a very useful solution, especially for industrial enterprises.

Not all enterprises can bring business processes into the cloud architecture, edge computing allows you to connect cloud capabilities and infrastructure security requirements, she says.

Victor Polyakov, CEO of Tibbo Systems (Aggregate Association), calls the consolidation of investments by leading companies around machine learning algorithms and methods and deep data processing the main trend.

Alexander Yaroshevich, CEO of EM Group, ranks 5G technology, artificial intelligence and the development of cyberphysical systems among the main trends in the Internet of Things market.

Growth and Market Containment Factors

Growth factors

State interests

One of the key factors that gave impetus to the development of the Internet of Things market in Russia is the interest of the state. The Digital Economy of the Russian Federation program, which was approved in the summer of 2017, set up industry and the public sector for digitalization.

The number of public events from large-scale conferences to behind-the-scenes round tables are held almost daily in different cities of Russia and, of course, cause a wave of interest in business, "says Anna Plemyashova, director of strategy and development at Beltel Datanomics.

Andrei Shuravin, head of the IoT department for work with industrial enterprises of Technoserv, adds that close attention has been paid to the industrial Internet of Things in the government program Digital Economy and related documents.

Alexander Grebennik, CEO of RUTI Inventas, agrees that the rapid growth of interest in modern digital technologies is formed mainly by government initiatives in recent years. At the same time, he adds that this happens not only because market participants are obliged to play according to new rules, but also due to the emergence of open information about the effectiveness of using a particular technology, method, approach.

The absence, or rather the impossibility of disclosing successful cases, has always been an insurmountable obstacle in the spread of innovation. Now the situation is gradually beginning to correct, because the authorities in a simple and understandable form demonstrate to the consumer, business, and their own services and enterprises all the advantages and advantages of the digital economy, he says.

In addition to state programs, the development of the Internet of Things in Russia is influenced by the fact that most of large and medium-sized industrial enterprises are somehow controlled by the state.

Considering that the overwhelming share in the corporate Internet of Things of Russia belongs to IIoT solutions for industrial enterprises, the state policy factor plays one of the leading roles in the development of IoT in Russia, - said Ilya Appolonov, head of the IoT group at ICL Services.

Cellular Operator Communication Infrastructure

Along with the policy, among the growth factors, experts call the rather developed communication infrastructure of cellular operators, which is the basis for IoT projects.

In addition, the further plans of cellular operators to increase services for IoT solutions (the introduction of 5G networks, the modernization of existing equipment to support various IoT-specific protocols) only prove that this direction in Russia is now at a stage of progressive growth, - says Ilya Appolonov.

Andrei Shuravin recalls that in 2018 the development of the all-Russian LPWAN network for IoT devices of small power consumption is expected.

Now all domestic manufacturers of IoT devices are waiting for which data transfer technology will be decisive in the end. The final choice of technology will give a powerful impetus to the development of IoT, he said.

Increase of expertise

The market development is facilitated by the excitement for this topic in the media and a large number of specialized events. Expectations for new approaches and technologies are high and sometimes they are even met.

In general, the Internet of Things is on everyone's lips today and quite a few companies are starting to investigate the application of IoT to their own processes and projects are starting. Naturally, they start with pilots, but full-fledged ones also appear, - notes Vyacheslav Maksimov, director of industrial solutions at CROC.

Ilya Appolonov from ICL Services adds that the number of startup projects is growing, and the corresponding expertise of large IT integrators is increasing.

Russia is already one of the leaders in the availability and quality of cellular services, so we are creating all the necessary conditions for testing and launching global IoT projects, he says.

Production growth

A powerful accelerator of the IoT market in Russia will be the growth of production in general. Trends towards this, against the background of Western sanctions, can be traced now, experts say.

As Andrei Shuravin from Technoserv notes, the Internet of Things can bring real and, most importantly, quick cost reductions. Therefore, managers, especially those who plan to organize "lean" production along with digital production, will consider this topic with interest.

The introduction of IIoT primarily reduces costs related to equipment operation, inventory management and production safety. Interest in the implementation of measures to reduce this type of production costs will automatically lead to the development of the market, the expert believes.

Containment factors

The state of the housekeeper

The state of the economy is holding back the development of the domestic Internet of Things market, believes Alexander Yaroshevich, General Director of EM Group.

Ilya Appolonov, head of the IoT group at ICL Services, adds that against the background of the economic situation, the cost of purchasing components for IoT solutions becomes a decisive moment for freezing investment projects.

Sanctions

Another deterrent is sanctions. Already at the moment, some major developers cannot use Western products.

Of course, this will spur the development of Russian solutions, but this kind of monopoly can negatively affect the market. Open competition always acts as a driver of entering the market and the development of high-quality solutions, - explains Vyacheslav Maksimov, director of industrial solutions at CROC.

No dedicated networks for IoT

Despite the fact that cellular operators have a fairly developed telecom infrastructure, a number of experts record the almost complete absence in Russia of operator-class IoT networks specialized for the requirements of IoT devices, classifying this moment as one of the main deterrents.

Basically, technologies familiar to us are used for data transfer: wireless and cellular networks, - notes Dmitry Evdokimov, CEO of HeadPoint.

Lack of investment

On the part of customers of the industrial Internet of Things, the main restraining factors are the inertia of the transition to new generation systems, high risks for production processes, and the conservatism of people. As for IoT suppliers - both software and "smart" devices - historically it has developed that they direct the main investments in the development of local products, for a specific project. The situation is worse with investments in circulation products, R&D, there is no management of the full life cycle of the product.

For example, we are a manufacturer of a software platform for the Internet of Things (PSS Platform). We are ready to actively develop partnerships with software companies that will be ready to make application solutions (circulation/industry) on the basis of this platform. However, so far interest in such cooperation is manifested only in order to implement any specific request to create a highly specialized solution, - says Ilya Knyazev, General Director of PSS (Applan Group of Companies).

At the same time, Western companies, he said, are investing massively in R & D.

As far as we know, such "monsters" as Schneider Electric, Honeywell, Huawei work not only in the direction of creating and improving IoT solutions, but even invest in developing their own data networks for IoT, adds Knyazev. - In general, the IoT market today remains extremely heterogeneous, the level of unification and standardization of technologies, data transfer protocols, interaction interfaces, etc. remains low. In this situation, the implementation of any project requires much more financial resources, time. As soon as unification in IoT reaches the desired level, when the vast majority of devices start working on the same protocols, the IoT entry barrier will significantly decrease, which will give a giant impetus to the development of this market.

Shortage of specialists

Another deterrent is the lack of specialists. The Internet of Things market has begun to grow rapidly over the past two years, and the education system does not keep pace with such a pace, and there are not many success stories on which specialists can be taught.

At the same time, as noted by Anna Plemyashova, director of strategy and development at Beltel Datanomics, many equipment manufacturers, cloud solution providers are already organizing entire academies and universities to teach engineers and developers how to build solutions in the field of the Internet of things. Russian universities also create engineering schools of the Internet of Things, where they work out the possibilities of this technology with students on real cases.

Low level of production automation

Another obstacle to the spread of the Internet of Things is associated with a low level of production automation.

The words "smart energy efficiency," "predictive maintenance," "control of technological processes using intelligent systems" no longer surprise anyone, but in most cases they remain words. And often the main problem that does not allow you to immediately move from theory to practice is the low level of automation of production and the lack of reliable data of a sufficient period, without which it is impossible to build solutions in the field of the Internet of things, - notes Anna Plemyashova from Beltel Datanomics.

Others

Ilya Appolonov, head of the IoT group at ICL Services, believes that the restraining factors in the development of the Internet of Things market are the almost complete lack of high-quality domestic developments both in terms of hardware and software.

Anna Plemyashova, director of strategy and development at Beltel Datanomics, adds that more complex IoT projects need to start small: increasing the number of sensors for accumulating data from devices, increasing the power of servers for processing and storing large amounts of data, installing network equipment for processing growing traffic - and these are only the first steps to build the necessary infrastructure, unfortunately, quite expensive and not guaranteeing success for the Internet of Things project in the future.

Examples of projects using IoT technologies

The table below shows some projects that started or received serious development in 2016-2018, which used Internet of Things technologies. Projects are conditionally ranked by the number of connected devices.

Study of TAdviser and Rostec Group of Companies

The analytical center TAdviser, together with the State Corporation Rostec, conducted a study of the industrial Internet of Things market in Russia. According to TAdviser estimates, the Russian IIoT market amounted to 93 billion rubles. in 2017 and according to forecasts will grow to 270 billion rubles. by 2020 More details here.

Study by J'son & Partners Consulting

J'son & Partners Consulting (Jason & Partners Consulting) presented in August 2018 the results of the study: "Economic effects of digitalization and implementation of IoT in mechanical engineering in Russia." The main benefit from digitalization and the introduction of [[Internet of Things (IoT)|[[Internet of Things (IoT)|[[Internet of Things (IoT)|[[Internet of Things (IoT)|[[Internet of Things (IoT)|[[Internet of Things (IoT)|[[Internet of Things (IoT)|the Internet of Things (IoT)]]]]]]]]]] for Russian engineering is a unique opportunity to "jerk" to increase the competitiveness of its products relative to the main international players. This opportunity is that even the world's leading manufacturers of mechanical engineering products are still in the early stages of the transition to the creation of products of the Industrie 4.0 generation.

If you act quickly, then having the advantages of starting from a low base of efficiency of using production facilities (the ability to quickly increase it by about 4 times), relying on the availability of a sufficient number of qualified personnel in the field of IT and engineering, proximity to the local consumer and willingness to develop products taking into account the peculiarities of Russian legislation, you can catch the emerging market for generation 4.0 engineering products, at least local, among the first.

Digitalization of mechanical engineering and the transition to life cycle contracts, according to J'son & Partners Consulting consultants, will also ensure the solution of the task set by the President of the Russian Federation to increase the production of competitive civilian products by defense industry enterprises from the current 16% to 30% by 2025 and at least 50% by 2030. Taking into account the high share of defense industry enterprises in the total production of mechanical engineering products in Russia, this task is very ambitious and, according to J'son & Partners Consulting, in monetary terms means an increase in the production of such products by about 250 billion rubles in annual terms against the background of stagnation and a decline in the consumption of such products in the domestic Russian market.

In addition, this will make it possible to develop in Russia the most significant components in terms of creating added value of mechanical engineering products of the Industrie 4.0 generation as: the stage of product design as a whole, the development of software components for it and services for outsourcing the operation of mechanical engineering products of the Industrie 4.0 generation. Such growth is possible rather due to the displacement of foreign-made products and an increase in the depth of localization of the creation of added value of products, but not due to an increase in consumption in the context of stagnant demand and low solvency of the population and business.

On the other hand, the lack of energetic actions towards the digitalization of mechanical engineering will mean a complete loss of competitiveness of domestic mechanical engineering and its irreversible degradation due to the impossibility of competing with new generation products from the world's leading manufacturers. It is important to note that due to the decisive role of mechanical engineering in the formation of complex cooperation chains with other sectors of the economy, the degradation of mechanical engineering will also determine the general degradation of economic activity in the country.

At Russian enterprises, an average of 4.7 workers in the engineering industry account for 1 machine. For comparison, in the EU there are 0.8 workers per machine, and labor productivity in EU engineering is 6 times higher. Extremely low capacity utilization (average 20% of working hours vs 90% of global competitors) along with high relative costs for personnel, it is a powerful factor in the formation of a uncompetitive cost in the form of unit costs, and at the same time does not allow modernizing production facilities - the size of the available market and the margin on it at such a cost are too small.

Unlike Russia, such leading world industrial powers as the United States, Germany, Italy, Japan or China, by "digital economy" mean the processes of creating and using Product-Service System (PSS). That is, products that are originally designed as a single system that combines the physical product itself and the processes associated with its production and operation. At the same time, the emergence of the "Internet of Things" is a consequence of this approach, and not the cause or self-sufficient area of ​ ​ economic activity - the term PSS appeared two decades earlier than the term "Internet of Things."

"Industry 4.0": digital project in the field of aircraft industry

On July 21, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Oleg Bocharov presented a project to create a unified digital space of industry in Russia 4.0 RU. A demonstration model describing the digital production of MS-21 was developed as part of a joint initiative of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia and high-tech companies in the field of electronics, production and information security.

"The introduction of the digital production system in Russia is one of the strategic areas of activity of the ministry. The presented 4.0 RU model is only the first step, which is designed to demonstrate to industry participants the practical advantages of digitalization. In this process, the state plays the role of an integrator, initiates the creation of a digitalization infrastructure and ensures the availability of the system for potential participants, and companies themselves will develop it by connecting to the common system and realizing its business opportunities, "said Denis Manturov, Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation

Composition of the working group

The initiative group to develop the idea of ​ ​ the project of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia included several high-tech companies: Stan as a manufacturer of machine tools; Kaspersky Lab as a developer of protection systems against external and internal unauthorized effects; ITELMA NPP as a logistics and consulting company; and Siemens with MindSphere, which will create an Industry 4.0 digital platform in Russia.

Description of Part Manufacturing Cycle

Oleg Bocharov remotely launched the manufacture of the basic fastener of any aircraft - a bolt - on a machine in the virtual assembly shop of the MS-21 Irkutsk Aviation Plant.

The demonstration model of the 4.0 RU project describes the full production cycle, starting from the company's request for a specific part and ending with the delivery of this part by the carrier. The digital approach to MS-21 development begins with the very basic part of the aircraft - the bolt. With the help of animation, the bolt is separated from the engine design and transformed into a schematic image on the 4.0 RU process map. At the stage of digital design of the part, when its parameters change, the indicator of the relative cost of the product changes accordingly. In this case, if a false parameter of the product is entered, a warning about non-compliance with aviation standards appears.

At the modeling stage, equipment and tools are automatically selected, in the mode of dialogue with the system, the part is virtual processed. Based on the received data on the part and its production technology, a scan of the database of Russian enterprises for the fulfillment of the order is launched. The logistics partners for the order are selected in the same way.

After clicking the "start" button on the control panel, the process of switching from virtual to real production starts, a video window appears on the screen to monitor the process of processing the part. After successful production, the card displays the delivery of the order by the carrier.

"Today, together with the Stan company, we presented the 4.0 digital industry project using the example of the aircraft industry precisely because it is one of the most complex technological industries, the effectiveness of which depends not only on human knowledge, but also on the coherence and transparency of all technological processes," said Oleg Bocharov, Deputy Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation. - Already on the example of the demonstration model we see how the whole industry can function. In practice, such a system will create a kind of exchange in which companies that offer the most effective tools for potential customers will participate. "

New Business Model

A prerequisite for the creation of a digital industry is the introduction of a single information space into production, with the help of which enterprise management systems, industrial equipment can exchange data in a timely manner.

"The presented project is a completely new business model, which involves the translation into digital format of both the most important functions of the company for internal vertical production of products, and all relationships with customers and partners in the horizontal plane," said Sergey Nedroslev, President of Stan. "In addition, when this system is implemented in practice, any enterprises that are ready to provide their production facilities to fulfill the order can connect to it, and customers, accordingly, will be able to choose in real time where to order the goods, taking into account the price, timing, batch size, etc."

NAPI data

• In 2016, the discussion of the topic of IoT as a critical infrastructure began. ^[6]
• Lag behind Germany, USA, Japan, China, South Korea by 7-10 years
• Extremely low base of automation and robotization in industry, transport, power
• Low awareness of SCL and technical management about digital/cyberphysical technologies (level CIO max) - Gref exception
• There is no state digital strategy, no body and person responsible for its preparation (Dvorkovich? Manturov?)
• Comprehensive training is not conducted
• There is no pronounced state demand for digital infrastructure (except for data centers and Internet control)

The next steps in Russia are priorities:

• REDUCTION OF LOSSES - HOUSING AND COMMUNAL SERVICES, theft, corruption in procurement, management of transport, power, agricultural losses during storage and transportation, downtime of the machine farm and other technological equipment, etc.;
• EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT - labor productivity, transport/logistics management, distributed power, metallurgy, digital factory, precision farming/livestock/storage, maintenance of any equipment as needed instead of routine, supply chain management, uberization of distributed markets, etc.;
• CREATION OF NEW SOLUTIONS - business models, technology platforms, a new type of applications, digitalization of still offline processes - for example, diagnostics and treatment, training, public administration, etc.;

2016: Application of world practice in the implementation of IoT projects in Russia

Based on a study by J'son & Partners Consulting.

Technological systems and equipment of industrialized countries are becoming intelligent and integrated. Enterprises integrate into global industrial networks to combine a network of production resources and global applications.

Modern industrial leaders abroad already have digitized, connected to the network, robotic equipment equipped with sensors and IT systems. Over the past 10-20 years, in the context of the transformation of the production process, companies have been debugging new ways to manage, analyze and use the received data (BigData) and achieve efficiency. Currently, world manufacturers are moving towards scaling and introducing artificial intelligence into production, which can completely exclude a person from routine processes. The use of new digital management models goes far beyond the information and communication industry, and IoT is the necessary technical component for the implementation of IoT projects in various sectors of the economy.

State innovation and industrial development programs of other countries are based on the understanding that innovative industrial technologies and developments can strengthen all sectors of the economy that can be modernized.

In this regard, both new opportunities and threats are opening up for the domestic industry: a lag in the transition to new principles of interaction in the supplier-consumer chain may be added to the multiple lag in labor productivity and quality of manufactured products. This can lead to a fundamental impossibility to compete with leading international industrial concerns, both in terms of cost of production and in terms of order execution speed.

The main challenge in the medium term, if adequate measures are not taken for Russia, is the threat of loss of competitiveness on the world stage and an increase in the gap in labor productivity from the United States, from four times in 2015 to more than ten times in 2023; in the long term - the emergence of a practically insurmountable technological barrier between Russia and leading technological powers, betting on the introduction of highly efficient technologies and service deployment models, the joint operation of ICT infrastructure and software applications, such as virtualization of network functions and automatic software management. This can lead to technological isolation and degradation.

In the optimistic scenario, the emergence and accelerated introduction of fundamentally new business and service models in the ideology of IoT, taking into account state support (through inclusion of projects in government priorities and programs) and accompanied by R&D, as well as the possibility of creating an open competitive economy with technical means based on a fundamental change in the role of ICT in the management of production enterprises, will be a key point of growth in industry and the Russian economy for the next three and subsequent years.

If we consider that in terms of labor productivity, that is, in terms of the integral indicator of resource efficiency, Russia lags 4-5 times behind the United States and Germany, then the growth potential for our country is many times higher than that of the so-called developed countries. And this potential needs to be exploited through the joint, well-coordinated efforts of the state, business, players, scientific and research organizations.

Joint forms of work of the state, science and business (production companies, in particular) for the exchange of knowledge, technologies, ideas and joint implementation of projects in conditions of complex ecosystems and the need to attract partners with different specializations are of great importance.

Obviously, the economic crisis will push Russian business to implement efficiency projects. If we consider that the transition to the use of the IoT model allows us to increase it significantly, and not by a fraction of percent, and practically without capital investments in the modernization of fixed assets, then we can count on the fact that this year we will see not single "success stories" of new IoT projects in Russia.

An analysis of the results of the implementation of the most successful practices in the field of industrial Internet shows that the payback period for such projects in most cases does not exceed several months.

IIoT projects are being implemented or planned for implementation by almost all leading global players in a wide range of industries. At the same time, special attention is paid to the implementation of these technologies in such key industries for Russia as the mining and chemical industries, metallurgy, mechanical engineering, and the oil and gas sector.

Thus, for domestic enterprises, adaptation and implementation of the most successful world practices in the field of industrial Internet as one of the important conditions for achieving competitiveness in the domestic and foreign markets is of particular importance.
