The document was signed by the general director of the CRPT Andrei Kirillov and the director of the Digital Production department of Siemens in Russia Zhanna Shalygina.

Siemens will act as a partner of the CRPT in the field of digital and methodological solutions for the labeling and tracing project for a number of product groups, primarily industrial ones. The companies plan to jointly create competence centers within the labeling ecosystem, conduct research and development work.

"The signed agreement proves the real interest of major Western players in the project and their recognition of the Russian trend for marking and tracing. Siemens will become a reliable partner of the CRPT, thanks to its deep immersion in the process, competencies and an extensive pool of integrators who can become active participants in the platform, " noted the representative of CRPT

"Thanks to the partnership, Siemens solutions will be harmonized with the current requirements of the labeling system, which will facilitate the entry of partners and customers of the company into the project," noted Zhanna Shalygina, Director of the Digital Production Department of Siemens in Russia

CRPT will provide Chinese business with information on the labeling system

The operator of the state information system for digital labeling and tracking of goods, the Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies, and the Chinese company Tsikhan signed an information partnership agreement. The purpose of the partnership is to provide Chinese businessmen with verified information about the marking and tracing system.

The companies plan to create an information channel for the exchange of information about goods between importers from the People's Republic of China and the operator of the labeling system, to jointly develop and promote training materials for manufacturers and trading companies on labeling shoes and light industry goods.

Medvedev approved the CRPT as an operator of digital labeling of all goods

In early April 2019, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed an order according to which the Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies (CRPT) was appointed operator of digital labeling of all goods.

Determine Operator-CRPT LLC by the operator of the state information system for monitoring the turnover of goods subject to mandatory labeling by means of identification, - says the document published on the government website on April 9, 2019.

The Center for the Development of Promising Technologies in April 2019 was appointed operator of digital labeling of all goods

Previously, the CRPT acted as an operator of pilot labeling projects in various industries. From June 1, 2019, the company should become the operator of the fur marking system instead of the Federal Tax Service.

By April, 10 product groups are subject to mandatory labeling: tobacco, perfume, shoes, tires and pneumatic tires, cameras and flash lamps, as well as five groups of light industry products.

According to Vedomosti, until July 2019 - when packs of cigarettes without a digital brand will be prohibited from being produced - there is a transition period so that manufacturers and retail outlets can register in the system. But it was not clear exactly where to register: the government delayed for more than a month with an order to appoint an operator of the labeling system.

Investments in the creation of a digital labeling system for goods were estimated at at least 250 billion rubles. There were no injections of budget funds into this project. The IT system is created on the basis of public-private partnership (PPP), which excludes the costs of the state for its creation and development, increases the speed of implementation, minimizes possible risks.^[2]

World experience shows that PPP projects are always being implemented faster than the state model. We realize the interests of the state and must strive to achieve the goals and objectives that are set for us. This is, first of all, a reduction in the share of illegal products through increased competitiveness and the development of legal business in Russia, - said the chairman of the board of directors of  TsRPTMihail Dubin.

Experiment on labeling perfume and toilet water, cameras and flash photos

On January 23, 2019, the CRPT reported that the Ministry of Industry and Trade proposed to conduct an experiment on labeling perfume and toilet water, as well as cameras and flash lights from March 1 to November 30, 2019. The ministry published a draft government decree on this for public discussion.

Among the goals of the pilot projects are testing the possibilities of using the technology of applying a means of identification, developing proposals for amending the legislation of the Russian Federation, regulating the production and circulation of cameras, flashes, perfumes and toilet water.

The Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies (CRPT) for January 2019 began work on a pilot project in the perfume industry with the support of market participants. In December 2018 and January 2019, CRPT specialists examined the production sites of 7 Russian perfume producers, in the near future - another 5 production facilities.

As of January 23, 2019, the Center for the Development of Advanced Technologies is completing testing of the processes of applying identification tools in its laboratory. After that, the operator will begin installing test equipment at the sites of manufacturing companies. The test results will be presented in the design and expert group at the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

The optimal marking method for each commodity group will be determined in conjunction with the business during the pilot project. The basic scenario is to use the Data Matrix code as a technologically reliable, fairly simple and cheap marking method. Other methods can be used, in particular, in logistics - decisions will be made jointly.

CRPT actively conducts consultations with business, determining the optimal options for introducing a labeling system, taking into account the specifics of business processes of the industry. The operator organized four meetings of the working group with players of the perfume market, in which 25 companies took part. Also, two meetings of the design and expert group under the Ministry of Industry and Trade took place, the participants of which were 15 market representatives. One of the popular ways to communicate with business was webinars, which gathered 111 companies. At the same time, a working group with integrators, suppliers of IT solutions for the industry is successfully functioning.

author '= Revaz Yusupov, Deputy Director General of the Center for the Development of Advanced Technology ' We are actively negotiating with manufacturers and importers of both perfumes and cameras, creating appropriate working groups. Regular meetings with business representatives were organized on the basis of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, CRPT and RATEK Association. This practice will continue. As calculations and expert estimates show, as a result of the introduction of labeling and tracing, it is expected to reduce the cost of products for consumers by reducing the costs of manufacturers, expanding their sales market as a result of washing out unscrupulous competitors from it.
