Yandex Robotics, with the support of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, has developed the first national standards to simplify the integration of robotics into industrial production. The documents create a unified digital management environment, allowing robots from different manufacturers to work within a single software loop.
The standards are based on a unified information model for the interaction of robots with management systems (RMS, Robot Management System). It sets uniform rules for data exchange, command formats, statuses, and roles, which simplifies the connection of new robotic systems and allows the creation of mixed robot fleets without the need for deep customization for each project.
The adoption of standards will reduce the time and cost of implementing robotics, scale production, and reduce the dependence of enterprises on specific manufacturers. This is especially important for the development of automation in industrial enterprises and improving the efficiency of production processes.
According to Valery Pivny, Director of the Department of Machine Tool Building and Heavy Engineering at the Ministry of Industry and Trade, standardization contributes to the implementation of the national project "Means of Production and Automation," within which Russia plans to be among the top 25 world leaders in robot density by 2030 — 145 industrial robots per 10,000 employees.
