Concern Kalashnikov, a member of the Rostec State Corporation, presented the "Production Line 2020" by introducing Industry 4.0 business processes in this production area.
The purpose of the project was to reflect the changes that occur in the industry as influenced by information technologies. One of the monitoring and management tools are VR technologies that combined the data of various systems into a single cabinet – now the head of the production line can obtain full information on the processes even remotely.
"Concern Kalashnikov is a clear embodiment of the Russian industry's success. We can positively expect that the proceeds of the Kalashnikov Group will be about 40 billion rubles this year. Today the concern has gone far beyond the limits of manufacturing the world-beating machine guns: apart from АК-12 and АК-15, sniper rifles, sports and hunting rifles Kalashnikov builds motor boats, motorcycles and unmanned aerial vehicles. Today was saw a pilot project on the road to introducing Industry 4.0 at our plants and factories. And the first step was made here, in Izhevsk. I am sure that this experience will be positive, and in the future we will be able to apply it at other large production facilities", stated General Director of the Rostec State Corporation Sergey Chemezov.
In the nearest future additional artificial intelligence-based technologies will be introduced to allow not only to manage current contingencies, but also to materially anticipate them.
