ST. PETERSBURG, June 4. /TASS/. The Kalashnikov Group’s initiative to create a modern facility for the production of industrial robots in the Moscow Region is of great interest to the region, Moscow Region Governor Andrey Vorobyov believes.
At the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), Vorobyov met with Kalashnikov Group CEO Alan Lushnikov and Sergey Terentyev, managing partner of Semargl LLC (part of the group). The meeting focused on the plans for building a high-tech robotics production facility in the Moscow Region.
"Robotization has long been an integral part of manufacturing, logistics, and other sectors. It allows us to work faster and more efficiently, freeing people from tedious, routine work. Demand for this is high, and more and more businesses are opening in the Moscow region with automated processes. Our goal is to support these projects as much as possible. Therefore, the initiative of the Kalashnikov Group and Semargl company is of great interest to us; it is an important step toward creating our own modern solutions that are already in demand by the economy at large," Vorobyov said, as quoted by the regional government press service.
Meeting participants emphasized that the creation of modern production in the field of robotics has significant market potential. Furthermore, the Moscow Region is home to numerous large warehouses and logistics centers. These centers are particularly in need of modern smart systems — automated warehouses and robotic forklifts — that help process cargo faster, replacing manual labor.
