Industry remains one of the key drivers of Astana's economic growth. In the
first half of this year, enterprises in the capital produced goods worth more
than 2.2 trillion tenge. The industrial production index reached nearly 112%,
with the manufacturing sector accounting for about 95% of total output. The
sector’s growth is being driven by special economic zones and Industrial Park
No. 1, where projects involving both domestic and foreign investors are
underway. One such project is a plant producing modular wastewater treatment
and pumping systems. The facility is currently in pilot operation and is
preparing to reach full production capacity. The plant is already incorporating
AI into its operations. Digital algorithms monitor wastewater treatment
facilities in real time, rapidly detect potential faults, and improve
operational efficiency.
«We
are integrating AI into our entire automation and monitoring system for
wastewater treatment facilities. AI will help with the maintenance and
monitoring of the facilities, as our equipment is quite complex to maintain. It
will help us monitor equipment performance and optimize its operation,» said
Andrey Belyayev, General Director of the plant.
