The delegation from the Sverdlovsk Region, headed by Governor Yevgeny Kuyvashev, paid a working visit to the Republic of Belarus. The Ural Turbine Works was represented by Mikhail Lifshitz, Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Special attention was given to cooperation in the energy sector during meetings with the President of the Republic of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, and the Prime Minister, Sergey Rumas, and also at the meeting of the Council for Business Cooperation of the Sverdlovsk Region and the Republic of Belarus.
“Our joint projects in the field of energetics occupy a significant share in the volume of mutual trade. 60 % of the turbines we use in Belarus are produced in the Urals,” said Alexander Lukashenko, President of the Republic of Belarus, at a meeting with members of the delegation.
In recent years, the Ural Turbine Works has completed three projects to upgrade basic energy equipment and supply components to power plants in Belarus. Today, four more projects are underway. Their total sum exceeds 5 billion Russian rubles.
“We do not just supply turbines to Belarus; we have built with our colleagues a system of comprehensive engineering and technical support of equipment during its repairs and upgrades. We also offer a digital system for predicting equipment condition known as PRANA. This system is capable of seeing the development of a malfunction three to four months before it is detected by a standard control system. Today we are the only manufacturer in the world to install a prognostics system on a turbine already in the process of its manufacture. I hope that this will be another of our projects in Belarus,” Mikhail Lifshitz, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Ural Turbine Works, said following the talks.
Also during the meetings, deliveries of TEEMP (a company of ROTEC) supercapacitor modules, which are one of the key elements of the diesel-electric drive of the Belkommunmash hybrid bus, were discussed. The bus has already been successfully tested at the training ground and is currently transporting passengers around the streets of Minsk. Based on the results of its operation, a reduction in fuel consumption by more than 20 % has already been confirmed.
ROTEC JSC (www.zaorotec.ru). The business scope of the company: the PRANA system designed for prognostics of the condition of industrial equipment; designing, engineering and general contractor services in the construction of power engineering facilities and infrastructure; development and production of highly efficient energy storage and accumulation systems based on supercapacitors; and the manufacture, modernization and maintenance of main power equipment.
The PRANA Predictive Analytics and Remote Monitoring System has received another update of the operating system.
The industrial holding ROTEC JSC and Group-IB, one of the leading developers of solutions for detecting and preventing cyberattacks have entered into a cooperation agreement to ensure technological and cybersecurity of critical infrastructure facilities. The agreement was signed at the International Industrial Trade Fair Innoprom 2021 and will allow ACS and IS specialists of enterprises to observe and take proactive measures to prevent incidents caused both by service wear of equipment and as a result of cyberattacks.
The industrial Internet begins with the introduction of systems based on mutual penetration of information technologies and automation devices of manufacturing equipment, such as the systems of remote monitoring and diagnostics. One of the inspection methods of the equipment’s condition is its continuous monitoring, which is a necessary condition for the transition to a service system on the operating condition
According to Mikhail Lifshitz, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ROTEC, Russian power engineering company, the venture capital market in its present state is currently raising people whose aim is not to create a winning product, but just to raise funds. With regard to his business, Mr. Lifshitz abandoned the speculative component and headed for the long-term integration of ideas into production.
Despite the hazy weather and pouring rain, the yachtsmen were in a terrific mood! Three crews of racing yachts in Olympic Class SB20, mainly represented by employees of ROTEC, PRANA and TEEMP, took the whole winners podium in the amateur competition. For most of the participants, it was their first-ever experience of this kind – and they claimed victory straight away!
The trend towards digitalization and flourishing of the service economy have led to the emergence of a new model – Maintenance-as-a-Service. Let’s explore how it’s organized and the benefits that it offers to business.
