Not everything is decided yet
According to Leonid Delitsyn, an analyst at Finam, the development of an MES system for a large manufacturing holding includes production and business analytics, model building, technical specifications, development, support, and integration with an ERP system. He believes that such a project can last from a year or more, and changing the developer is highly undesirable.

"However, a stressful situation is possible when the customer, let's say, is limited in terms of time - and not by internal business needs, but by external orders, and for the integrator the project loses its appeal. Such a situation opens up opportunities for new suppliers and integrators to enter the market," concluded Leonid Delitsyn.

Maxim Ravba, CEO of Rusagro Tech LLC, said in August 2024: "The project to develop an MES system is of great importance for our company, since it not only improves the management of production processes and increases competitiveness, but can also become an industry solution applicable to other organizations in the agro-industrial complex."

With the grant support of the RFRIT, the Rusagro Group together with GeomirAgro LLC is implementing another particularly significant project - the implementation of the Russian agricultural production management system based on the cloud service "Field History". Its first stage was completed on February 29, 2024. The final deadline for the implementation of this project is November 2025, and the total cost is 670 million rubles, of which 560 million rubles were provided by the RFRIT grant.
