Couldn't Cope on Their Own? State Corporations Allowed to Buy Robotics Abroad

Pilot projects for the introduction of robotics are planned for 2025

State corporations Rostec, Rosatom, and Roscosmos will be able to purchase imported solutions for the planned robotization of their production facilities. This became known from the directive of Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak and the instructions of First Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Manturov, as well as from letters from the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

According to the documents, the robotization plans have already been agreed upon by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Rostec's plan involves the introduction of 230 robots per 10,000 employees by 2030. For Roscosmos and Rosatom, robotization will be brought to a similar level — less than 33 robots per 10,000 people in 2024.

The state corporations plan to conduct the first pilot projects for the introduction of robotics in 2025.

One of the representatives of Rostec noted that the implementation of goals in robotization will require reforming existing Russian production facilities.

Evgeny Elfimov, General Director of Inventorus, emphasized that domestic manufacturers are not able to meet the demands of state corporations in terms of high-tech components.

Earlier www1.ru reported that the microelectronics manufacturer Element has launched a division for industrial robotics.
