Engineering training: BELAZ and ASCON sign cooperation agreement

On the sidelines of the international exhibition INNOPROM. Belarus has signed a cooperation agreement between the Belarusian company BELAZ and the Russian company ASCON. The document provides for the expansion of cooperation in the training of engineering personnel, writes sb.by.

- The previous stage of cooperation was successful. Today’s agreement expands cooperation. The main task we solved with the Russian company is import substitution. We are talking about the software that we used in the design of dump trucks and quarrying equipment. We have a product that meets all our requirements. Moreover, the functionality of the previously used software has been expanded.

He stressed:

- The current agreement will expand its use. We have a broad curriculum. We work with students and high school students. And the software product of the Russian company will form the basis of the training program. We're rebuilding the design system. The original design documentation is already a 3D object. This allows you to quickly make changes to the documentation throughout the chain.

Director for Strategic Development of ASCON Evgeny Bahin added:

- We have signed an agreement to further develop cooperation not just on the use of software, but for the training of engineering personnel. This is a joint competence center that allows you to work more actively with universities of Belarus and engineering classes of schools to train the next generation of engineers coming to BelAZ.

Evgeny Bakhin emphasized that “INNOPROM”. Belarus is an important platform for concluding important agreements and exchanging views with professional participants

- It's a great playground. It's perfectly organized. There are many of our current and potential customers. This is a good opportunity to meet and discuss options for interaction. It is also a platform to demonstrate the scale of cooperation between Belarus and Russia in industry.
