On the new domestic automated process control system at the 10th Federal Forum on IT and digital technologies in the oil and gas industrySmart Oil & Gas, organized by the ComNews Information Group, was told by Oleg Ushakov, Director of the Development Direction of the Industrial Automation Competence Center "T1 Integration".

"At the beginning of 2025 israel whatsapp number database , we will become a vendor with our fully sovereign APCS, which we will produce in Russia. In addition to it, we also offer the market solutions based on controllers from China. We have chosen a manufacturer from China that officially works with Russia, while some customers buy Chinese equipment that is not officially represented by us," noted Oleg Ushakov.

However, Oleg Ushakov also spoke about possible problems with deliveries of the product to Russian companies: "Some customers still choose Chinese manufacturers who do not have any support in Russia, which may subsequently harm the customers themselves. When our product is released in Q1 2025, some customers may face formal restrictions on purchases - the vendor must have three years of production experience. However, I would like to emphasize that so far no domestic vendor of this class of solutions will have the relevant experience, since we are urgently replacing the products of companies that have left. Therefore, the issue of distributing the product among customers remains open."

expressed support for Russian manufacturers of automated process control systems: "Customers usually buy solutions. Of course, we are interested in having some kind of transparent history on the integrator market, so that we can buy these solutions and live with them for the required 10-15 years of service life. Then we can modernize, expand functionality, and engage in digitalization. The market is in a borderline state. On the one hand, comprehensive solutions are emerging from BRICS countries. On the other hand, we see the efforts of Russian integrators. It would be unfair to cut off this domestic Russian initiative. We would like to support as much as possible the transition of Russian vendors to a new quality level."
