Currently six more projects in progress. five of which are related to Severstal and MMC Norilsk Nickel and will be completed by early 2026. “We also plan to complete one project from Metall Invest at the end of 2026. As for particularly significant projects. there are some that are phone number database successful and some that are not. However. we did not set ourselves the task of making all projects commercially successful. We highly value the experience of our colleagues from Norilsk Nickel in the field of import substitution.
This year. or more precisely in January 2026.
the pilot implementation projects will be completed. We will complete the pilot product for MES (manufacturing process management system – ComNews note ) and production planning. which we are already discussing both within the metallurgical community and in a broader industrial context.” Vladimir Sidorov said.
When asked by a ComNews correspondent how
ICC Metallurgy assesses the commercial success of the project. Vladimir Sidorov replied that the project has paid for itself from an investment standpoint and that. in addition to MMK and Severstal. it has several other customers who have already purchased this solution.
Alexey Manikhin. Head of Business Applications at
PJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel. said that within the framework of the Metallurgy ICC. the company makes three products under the name Magma – this is automation of mining processing: “In 2025. we will complete the development what is influencer marketing? of three products created by the Metallurgy ICC in the form of a boxed solution. Now we are ready to begin their pilot implementation both at our own enterprises and at our partners.
Among our partners in the Magma group products are six companies: four from the Metallurgy ICC and two from the Chemistry ICC. In addition. we have two customers for Axiom products – solutions for predictive emission monitoring. These companies. who asked not to disclose their names. are large petrochemical and gas producers in our country.”
Alexey Manikhin noted that initially the company did not consider these products as corporate ones. “We created tools for the industry. collecting requirements from all our business partners. At the initial stage. we actively dating data involved them in the work. An agreement on the rules that regulated the process was signed with the partners. We regularly demonstrated our products at demo days. We hope that those of them that are in the final stage of development will be implemented in the companies of our partners.” Alexey Manikhin shared with the audience.
