Moscow companies to implement digital transformation practices by Chinese companies

Moscow companies studied the digital transformation experience of major Chinese companies during a business mission organized by the Moscow Government. Participants saw how digital management systems and robotics were used in the industry. These Chinese developments can be adapted for use in Moscow production facilities.

The business mission included heads of companies participating in the federal "Labor Productivity" project, working in various industries, including construction, logistics, research and development, food processing, and the production of medical equipment, engineering equipment, and cosmetics. This was stated by Deputy Moscow Mayor Maria Bagreeva.

According to Bagreeva, amid persistent labor shortages and rising costs, reducing manual labor is key to economic development. A shift from isolated solutions to comprehensive digitalization and robotics is necessary. Shanghai is a key leader in the use of robots. The level of robotization in the city's industry exceeds 500 robots per 10,000 workers. This figure is more than three times higher than the global average.

Business mission to Shanghai allowed entrepreneurs to learn about the latest solutions in digitalization and robotics, Bagreeva emphasized. The delegation visited Shanghai's largest production sites, including an industrial cluster, an automobile manufacturer, and a plant producing industrial robots and automated systems. Several participating companies have already agreed to collaborate on implementing robotic solutions in their production facilities.
