Innovation Program

In 2014 during annual exhibition Open Innovations Ruselectronics presented a unique rescue solution from high-rises. Ruselectronics subcidiary JSC 'Spetsmagnit' designed source-independent group escape system (EKSS) for rescuing people from high floors in high-rises based on magnetic eddy-currents braking systems - two escape and rescue pods equipped with magnetic systems which interact with an electric strap control bus housed in a separate fireproof shaft placed on the outside of the building.

As an escape pod full of people starts moving down, gravity induces eddy currents in the bus, which generate braking force by interacting with the system’s magnetic field. One escape pod can lower up to 25 people at a time from a height of up 100 meters (330 ft) in less than a minute. In the meantime, the second (empty) escape pod connect to the first one, will rise to the top, ready to evacuate the next group of people.

At Interpolitex 2014, the 18th International Exhibition of Technologies and Methods to Ensure National Security, Ruselectronics presented a new mobile command post with thermografic cameras for remote observation and surveillance during security operations in areas affected by natural disasters, emergencies caused by technology, and in mass gatherings and potentially volatile crowds:

“The new vehicle-mounted thermal imaging system can be used by Emergency Response during forest fires and by the police in zero visibility. We really want to supply the latest state-of-the-art technologies to people who save other people’s lives,” Ruselectronics CEO Andrey Zverev said.

Another innovative solution at Open Innovations-2014 is a technology to apply a protective nanocoating on medical instruments has presented by another Ruselectronics subcidiary - JSC 'S.A. Vekshinsky Scientific Research Institute for Vacuum Machinery'.

Overall Ruselectronics is planning to invest more than $5.8bn in its innovation development between now and 2020.

The new innovation development program will help us boost sales revenues, take our products to the global markets, and make sure Russia gets a foothold in new market segments and ultimately takes a leadership role in a number of technology areas.
Andrey Zverev, Ruselectronics CEO
