Kazakhstan expands list of model digital factories

Kazakhstan is expanding the list of model digital factories. The project is designed to demonstrate in practice the effect of applying the Industry 4.0 technologies, as well as enable domestic enterprises to advance in the field of digital transformation and boost their competitiveness and productivity. Kazakhstan center for industry and export QazIndustry has previously included seven enterprises in the chemical, food, processing and textile industries, as well as machinery, geological exploration and other industries in the project. As a result, a machine-building plant has implemented a unified digital ecosystem at its production facilities which has facilitated the transparency of the company’s activities in areas such as sales, marketing and customer service. Also, a domestic gold mining company experienced tremendous benefits as a project participant. Now the enterprise monitors the working hours and downtime of its employees and distributes dump trucks to loading points in the most efficient way in real time due to the dispatching of surface mining operations. At the same time, a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of key performance indicators (KPIs) is carried out. In the future, all project participants will become a driving force for implementing digital technology not only in their spheres of activity but also in others, according to experts.
