Moscow, 3 June 2025 — At the Digital Industry of Industrial Russia 2025 (CIPR-2025), Russia’s largest IT forum, Nornickel has showcased its latest achievements in information technology, digitalisation, and artificial intelligence. The Company presented key projects developed within the Metallurgy and Ecology Industrial Competence Centres (ICCs). The advanced level of these projects underscores the Company’s readiness to offer solutions compatible not only with metallurgy but also with other industries.

Nornickel is developing a total of four industry-specific solutions. Three of these are being created within the Metallurgy ICC: a Mining and Geological Information System, a Mine Planning system, and an Underground Mining Dispatching system. Another solution, the “Development of a Predictive Emissions Monitoring System,” is being created within the Ecology ICC. Russian industrial companies have shown significant interest in these products, confirming their versatility and effectiveness.

Over the past year, Nornickel has made the most significant progress within the Ecology ICC. The innovative digital product Axioma, for real-time predictive monitoring and forecasting of air pollution levels, has been successfully tested at the Company's facilities. Axioma is a versatile cross-industry solution suitable for all types of industrial enterprises, including the metallurgical, petrochemical, power, oil and gas, and chemical sectors. It is a proprietary Russian solution that leverages artificial intelligence and digital twin technologies. In the year since the last CIPR conference, the system underwent functional testing and real-time comparability checks against laboratory and instrumental measurements at the Nadezhda Metallurgical Plant in Norilsk. The results were verified by the D.I. Mendeleev Institute for Metrology (VNIIM), and the system has received a certificate of conformity as an AI-enabled measuring instrument. The system is scheduled for commissioning in Q3 2025. A key milestone for the Russian digital industry is that the product is technologically ready for a wider rollout across industrial enterprises.

Within the Metallurgy ICC, Nornickel is developing three projects consolidated under the MAGMA platform. MAGMA Geo, MAGMA Plan, and MAGMA Control are designed to automate key mining processes. Their development is set to be completed this year, with pilot implementation to begin in 2026.

Sergey Malyshev, Nornickel’s First Vice President, commented:
“Ensuring technological sovereignty and creating proprietary domestic solutions are a priority for the Company. Within the ICCs, many companies have already moved from prototypes to the implementation stage. Nornickel is one of the first to have fully completed the development of a product within the Ecology ICC — the Axioma predictive emissions monitoring system. We plan to commission it this year. The product is ready for rollout in other industries as well. In parallel, we are in discussions with the government on the need to establish a legal framework for the use of artificial intelligence and big data in digital control systems for monitoring and calculating potential emissions from industrial plants.”
