SECURITY ISSUES OF TECHNOLOGICAL SOVEREIGNTY IN MINING INDUSTRY

Abstract

 One of the strategic directions of the integrated development of mining, metallurgical and machine-building production in modern conditions is the search for ways to restructure and modernize production, introduce fundamentally new domestic technologies and equipment.

In order to overcome the sanctions pressure from the West and the United States, mining companies are finding new supply chains for spare parts and equipment and product sales. The Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia and the Mining Industry of Russia have created portals, marketplaces and information bases for the exchange of information between suppliers and consumers. A request is being made for the reengineering of spare parts for imported equipment and new software is being created. But there is concern about the replacement of Western European equipment with Chinese. The industry is gradually shifting from one "needle" to another.

Legitimate issues arise: ensuring reliability, maintainability, high-quality and timely service in the face of increased demand caused by the foreign economic and domestic policies of the state; inconsistencies between supply and demand in the provision of qualified personnel; lagging machine tool industry from the demands of the engineering industry.

The achievement of technological sovereignty of the mining industry is hampered by high financial costs for the development, creation and testing of prototypes of equipment. Overcoming the industry's dependence on imported machinery and components over the previous years requires significant time, material and labor resources. Solving these problems is a priority for the industry and the country's economy, therefore, it has indisputable relevance.

The research methodology is based on a critical analysis of statistical material and an analytical review.

It is impossible to solve the problem of technological sovereignty of the mining industry without state regulation, and a state program for the development of mining engineering as one of the main drivers of the economy of the Russian Federation is needed. The development of mining engineering should be aimed at a new technical and technological level of mining production using robotic technology combined with artificial intelligence.

One of the key indicators in this case should be serial production with the introduction into production based on advanced scientifically proven technologies for mining mineral deposits.
