Deputy Prime Minister – Head of the Government Office Dmitry Grigorenko, during a trip to Nizhny Novgorod, visited the Gorky Automobile Plant. The Vice Prime Minister familiarized himself with the results of the enterprise’s digitization and the implementation of particularly significant projects. The Gorky Automobile Plant has implemented domestic platforms for managing the product life cycle, production processes, quality, and interaction with suppliers.A comprehensive project program was implemented with the involvement of grant co-financing (the grant issuing operator is the Russian Fund for the Development of Information Technologies).
At the Gorky Automobile Plant, as part of a particularly significant project on import substitution of IT solutions, the first industry-wide comprehensive system covering all stages of the product life cycle was implemented – from design and development to after-sales service. The implemented solutions replace imported software and can be scaled to any automobile manufacturing enterprise.
The system integrates modules for equipment monitoring, operational planning, and production control. This allows for analyzing information about production operation in real-time. The “Digital Dispatcher” controls indicators including voltage, power, temperature, vibrations, and also records all deviations from the technological process. In addition, as part of the project implementation, a PLM platform was introduced, the use of which reduces the time frames for developing new models and allows managing the product lifecycle at all its stages.Based on the platform, the development of requirements for new vehicles, design engineering, technological production preparation, and data management on automotive maintenance is underway.
The implementation of domestic software at the car factory is already showing results. The assembly lines and 188 of the most in-demand machines in production are connected to a unified digital system. This allows increasing equipment load efficiency by 15% and yields an economic effect of 110 million rubles per year.
Dmitry Grigorenko noted that the state actively supports projects on the development of domestic industrial software. A significant amount of work on the development of domestic solutions is carried out within the framework of industrial competence centers (ICC) — sectoral working groups where the largest companies form a consolidated demand for IT solutions.
“Enterprises of the automotive industry are actively switching to domestic industrial software. Two-thirds of auto factories already operate on a Russian system for design and lifecycle management. And domestic solutions for resource management — ERP systems — are used by 7 out of 10 enterprises in the automotive industry. This is partly the result of the active work of the industrial competency center ‘Automotive Engineering’ in developing and scaling IT solutions,” noted Dmitry Grigorenko.
Today, within the framework of the ISC “Automotive Engineering,” 7 particularly significant projects are being implemented with a total cost of more than 8.6 billion rubles, selected based on the results of the first and second rounds of selection. Among them are 5 grant projects amounting to 2.5 billion rubles. The ISC includes representatives of 11 leading Russian industry companies, among which are JSC “AvtoVAZ”, PJSC “KAMAZ”, LLC “UK ‘GAZ Group'”, LLC “Avtotor Holding”, LLC “Simaz”, LLC “AGP”, JSC “AZ ‘Ural'”, JSC “Kama”, JSC “MAZ ‘Moskvich'”, FGU P “NAMI.”
