Russia Builds Warehouse Digital Twins to Supercharge Industrial Logistics

As Russian factories ramp up production, logistics is going digital. TechnoNICOL’s Serpukhov plant is using warehouse digital twins to simulate and optimize every stage of the supply chain.
With industrial output on the rise, Russian manufacturers are turning to advanced digital solutions to rethink storage and distribution. One standout example is TechnoNICOL’s Serpukhov plant, where the company produces thermal insulation materials. Following a major reconstruction last year that boosted production capacity, the plant needed a smarter logistics strategy.
To address this, engineers deployed Russian-developed digital twin technology to create virtual replicas of warehouse infrastructure. These simulated environments allowed teams to model different logistics strategies and identify the most efficient configurations before implementing them in the real world.
The results are expected to be dramatic: logistics operations at the site are projected to become 35% faster, with a 25% increase in throughput and a 60% boost in labor productivity. Vehicle dwell time will be significantly reduced, operational costs will drop by 15%, and error rates are forecasted to fall by 75%.
TechnoNICOL is not alone—other Russian manufacturers are also embracing warehouse digital twins to streamline supply chains and strengthen industrial performance.
