Robot dogs, self-propelled platforms, tiltrotor aircraft and drones will be involved in the construction of the Ethane Gas Processing Complex (EPEG) in Ust-Luga. They will scan, photograph, film, process information and transfer data to a special digital platform – this is a Russian development, where the timing, volume and quality of work performed will be monitored in real time. These devices are currently being tested at the KPEG construction site.

"The ethane-containing gas processing complex in Ust-Luga will be the first in Russia where will there be such a large-scale robotic monitoring of all processes — from piling to commissioning. To do this, we develop and test a special digital platform. All participants in the construction process will have access to it. This will allow you to synchronize and minimize efforts, while at the same time increasing the speed of work, their accuracy and, as a result, economic efficiency, — said the general director of the company "RusGazDobycha" Konstantin Makhov.

The digital model of large-scale production is being created in accordance with the strategy of digitalization of Russian industry and the economy as a whole. Robotics can capture all processes on the site, and special software to clearly determine the compliance of what is happening with the specified parameters. The program compares the materials used with those prescribed in the estimate, counts the number of workers on the site, monitors compliance by each of them with the safety rules — if the employee does not use, for example, a hard hat, the digital controller will notice this.

In the process of work, all collected information flows into a single system. Work areas with equipment, dozens of technological processes, hundreds of companies and thousands of employees are combined in one digital space. At the final stage, the program automatically prepares summary analytics and generates reports on assembled structures, materials used, planned dates and other parameters.
