A new training laboratory for process control and monitoring using ABAK industrial controllers has opened at the Polytechnic University. The Kazan Scientific and Engineering Center "INKOMSYSTEM" (developer, manufacturer, and distributor of ABAK-branded equipment) donated six training stands worth 2.5 million rubles to the Higher School of Cyber-Physical Systems Management at the Institute of Computer Science and Cybersecurity at SPbPU.
In a lecture for students, Alexander Tyaplashkin, Director of the Software and Hardware Systems Department, discussed the Center's history, products, and services, as well as its consistent approach to import substitution in the field of automated process control systems (APCS) for its customers—manufacturing companies operating in the oil and gas, chemical, metallurgy, and other industries.
ABAK industrial controllers successfully integrate with Russian top-level systems, including the Alpha-Platform SCADA system from Tomsk-based Atomic Soft, the MasterSCADA 4D system from Moscow-based INSAT, and others. The INKOMSYSTEM Research Center also works in the promising and in-demand field of APCS—open industrial automation platforms.
In September, three VShUKS instructors went on a week-long business trip to Kazan, where they studied the operating principles of industrial controllers and ABAK measuring and computing systems.
Professor Vyacheslav Shkodyrev, Director of the Scientific and Technological Complex "Mathematical Modeling of Intelligent Control Systems," said that immediate plans include integrating materials on the new equipment into the educational process. The laboratory will also offer classes not only for students but also for those enrolled in continuing professional education programs—employees of industrial enterprises.
Vladimir Chernyavsky, Commercial Director of the INKOMSYSTEM Research Center, noted: "The establishment of a laboratory with our control systems equipment at the Polytechnic University will strengthen INKOMSYSTEM's position in Northwest Russia and, we are confident, will improve the training level of our customers in this region, as they will have the opportunity to take continuing education courses on the technical and software tools available in the laboratory."
Dmitry Arsenyev, Director of the Higher School of Computer Science and Engineering and Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, added: "We are grateful to the leadership of the INKOMSYSTEM Research Center for their decision to transfer modern domestic equipment to the Polytechnic University and look forward to developing mutually beneficial cooperation not only in education but also in the areas of industrial intelligence and hardware and software solutions in industrial AI, where we have significant groundwork."
The INKOMSISTEM Scientific and Engineering Center (Kazan) was established in 1991 on the basis of the NPO Neftepromavtomatika, which had been the leading organization of the USSR Ministry of Instrument Making in the field of automation of the oil and gas industry since 1959. Having maintained its scientific potential and close ties with leading design institutes, the company is one of the largest systems integrators in the Russian Federation and a strategic partner for oil, gas, and petrochemical companies.
Today, the company operates in five related areas: automated control systems, measurement systems and block equipment, analytical systems, ABAK software and computing systems, metrology, and service.
Turnover in 2024: RUB 9.6 billion, over 900 employees.
