Denis Manturov spoke at government hour in the State Duma.
First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Denis Manturov took part in a government hour at the State Duma dedicated to issues of automation and increasing labor productivity.
Speaking to parliamentarians, Denis Manturov called automation and increased labor productivity a cross-cutting objective for all sectors of the Russian economy and social sphere, and one of the key factors in ensuring the country's GDP growth rates above the global average.
The First Deputy Prime Minister explained that the activities of the national technological leadership project "Production and Automation Tools" are focused on two main areas.
The first involves increasing the production of high-tech machine tool products. Last year, government support measures already ensured a 20% increase in production in this segment.
"By 2030, our companies must scale up production of approximately 550 types of machine tools, machining centers, and components," noted Denis Manturov.
The second area involves developing the industrial robotics sector. The benchmark here is Russia's goal of joining the top 25 countries in the world in terms of robotic density. This poses a challenge for the industry and integrators, and also requires the creation of a new production culture.
"To reach our targets, we need to integrate approximately 80,000 industrial robots into companies' technological processes by 2030. These are complex, flexible, and multifunctional systems, integrating artificial intelligence, machine learning, and sensor technologies," the First Deputy Prime Minister explained.
Denis Manturov identified another aspect of industrial automation as the transition of enterprises to sovereign software.
The First Deputy Prime Minister paid special attention to labor productivity in the defense industry: in this sector, it has grown by more than 40% over the past three years – even taking into account the additional recruitment of approximately 800,000 new specialists to factories.
"We need a similar pace to achieve our space industry development goals. Roscosmos is already implementing a corporate robotics program," Denis Manturov noted.
Denis Manturov identified the training of qualified personnel as the most important factor in increasing labor productivity. To achieve industrial technological sovereignty by 2030, it is necessary to attract more than 2 million additional workers in various fields. A third of this demand consists of specialists with higher education.
During his speech, the First Deputy Prime Minister also touched on the topic of standards. "High standards, norms, and regulations, along with their unification, are the foundation for increased production efficiency," Denis Manturov emphasized.
Concluding his speech, the First Deputy Prime Minister noted that industrial development issues are a constant focus of State Duma deputies, and thanked the parliamentary corps for their systematic, long-term support and collaborative work.
