Today, a workshop was held on the premises of the Zelenodolsk plant POZIS chaired by Prime Minister of Tatarstan Aleksey Pesoshin and devoted to raising the labour productivity in Tatarstan’s industry and the practice of diversifying production at defence enterprises. The event was attended by executives and representatives of over 50 republic’s industrial enterprises, agencies, and universities.
Albert Karimov made a presentation “Digital Technologies as a Tool for Raising Labour Productivity” and mentioned that the Priority Productivity Improvement Programme, of which Tatarstan became a pilot region last year, is being transformed into the National Project. Raise in productivity is achieved through increasing the added value of products and reducing the working time for their production. One of the important factors in this regard is digitalisation, which is positively evidenced by the economy of Germany: from the introduction of digital solutions in 2013-2015, the added value of the Germany’s economy was 23%.
Further on, reports were heard on raising labour productivity and digitalisation of production (KAMAZ), on new opportunities for digital transformation in industry (СIFRA from RENOVA), on digitalisation in industry (Siemens), and on the prospects for industrial digital solutions in R&D (Kinetika Engineering Centre of the MISIS National Research Institute).
