The designers of the Yekaterinburg "NGO of Automation named after N. A. Semikhatov" in practice, proved that import-substitution tasks can be solved not only successfully, but also in record deadlines. Only two weeks it was necessary to launch domestic electronic controllers in control of hydraulic fluors for tractors. How did they succeed, why it is so important and what have the space technology, read in our article.

Agricultural machines have long been no longer just diesel tractors that have a plow or seeder. These are complex units styled by electronics. An important element of any modern tractor is the hydraulic control system. It is she who distributes the flow of fluid into hydraulic drives of all attachments. What it is more, the more difficult to manage it. To simplify the work of the tractor driver, the electronic controller takes all the "black work" - on-board computer with a special terminal in the cabin.

Sanctions against Russia seriously affected the supply of imported electronics, which struck agriculture. However, the yield was able to find unexpectedly quickly. According to the general director of the NGO automation, Andrei Missura, Russian engineering builders have increasingly began to contact them, asking for foreign appliances to domestic. And in NGOs responded. To begin with, one of the existing devices has been processed in a few weeks, and the controller of the controller of the hydraulic lines appeared to the light no worse than overseas analogues. The first batch of these devices must ship in the near future.

The Russian startup Sfera promises to become one of the most ambitious projects in the field of information technology. Its release is getting closer, the project passes the final stage of testing and debugging an ecosystem. Sfera developers are ready to cooperate with investors. Read the Startup details by reference.

Products "NGO automation" not only is not inferior to imported counterparts, but for some indicators even exceeds them. It is not surprising, because the main direction of the enterprise is the Space. NGOs enters the structure of "Roskosmos" and produces, for example, the management system for the "Union missiles".

However, work "not by profile" for Yekaterinburg engineers is not new. Even in the 1998 crisis, "NPO automation" managed to remain afloat due to the switching to civil orders. Today, this is a great full-cycle company (from the development of devices from scratch to their service), ready to serially produce a variety of types of controllers, sensors, control panels and information displays for domestic machines.

In the light of all the above, the question of readers: how do you feel about the thesis familiar in some circles about the ineffectiveness of state enterprises in a market economy?
