Exploring smart technologies in China
On the second day of their visit to China, the Tatarstan delegation studied the activities and technology of Haier Group’s digital production.
Minister Karimov visited the corporation’s industrial park and made tours of the smart factory of air conditioners and a washing machine factory. Haier’s smart factories are a package of automated digital modules that allows their personnel to directly contact the end users for taking into account all their wishes and requests in the production process.
After visit to the factories, the Minister had a meeting with Vice President of Haier Overseas Electric Appliances Corp. Ltd Mr. Li Pan. Particular attention at the meeting was paid to issues of cooperation between Tatarstan and Haier Group.
During the meeting, the Minister noted the 2016 launch of the Russia’s first factory for the production of refrigerators in Naberezhnye Chelny and this year’s opening of the Haier Rus Industrial Park with the first washing machine factory. The Tatarstan side emphasised that the project to create the Haier Rus Industrial Park will receive comprehensive support during the entire cycle of its implementation.
It is also worth noting that Tatarstan-Chinese cooperation has been developing for more than ten years. In 2018, an action plan on mutual promotion of cooperation was signed between the Republic of Tatarstan and the Shandong Province.
At the end of the day, the delegation from Tatarstan visited the Haier HQ Museum.
