Russian Companies Roll Out Domestic Environmental Monitoring Systems
An AI-driven complex using predictive analytics monitors air quality around the clock and forecasts environmental risks while keeping data secure.
Russian companies are increasingly switching to domestically developed environmental monitoring systems. Several industrial facilities, including those operated by Nornickel, have deployed a Russian-made air quality monitoring and forecasting platform called SitiAir (CityAir).
The system combines digital models, artificial intelligence, and modular sensors to create a “digital twin” of a given area for atmospheric analysis and forecasting. The technology helps reduce emissions and anticipate environmental risks.
Rostelecom has also rolled out a domestic digital monitoring complex, Ekosistema ATOM-RTK (ATOM-RTK Ecosystem), at production sites operated by a Russian mining company.
Successful Import Substitution
A system developed by Russian specialists was recently launched at the Sokolsky Pulp and Paper Mill. The device collects data on ambient air composition around the clock, analyzes current conditions, and provides early warnings of potential deviations from regulatory norms.
The platform is built on domestic AI algorithms and predictive analytics. Environmental risks are modeled using a digital twin of the facility. A distinctive feature of the system is data security: sensors manufactured in Russia transmit information to domestic servers.
The development has been added to the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade’s registry of AI technologies and, according to its developers, has no comparable equivalents in terms of functionality.
In addition, proposals are being discussed to create a unified national digital system called Ekomonitoring (EcoMonitoring). The platform would enable objective assessment of ongoing processes and provide tools for managing environmental
