How Belaz became a world leader in career engineering in the project “Made by Belarusians”

The Belaz Assembly Center is the most instagram and popular among tourists. The square is like three football fields. People come here to see how to collect “baby” with a carrying capacity of 90 and 130 tons. Cars and staff match. Almost 12 thousand people bring the giants of mechanical engineering into people. The fifth is young people. And they chose the case from a very young age - just "cars" became real.

Sergey Lesin, CEO of Belaz: There are engineering classes in Zhodino, which we take under our care. In the first phase, we are now creating two classrooms in two secondary schools. It is a chemistry class and a physics class.”.

High temperature technologies

The electroplating shop that the burning sun is the center of the universe of production. Future details will pass here fire and water. True, copper pipes are only for gas supply. Real hardening! The principle itself is not new, but the technology has been brought to the highest level – behind serious modernization.

Sergey Lesin, CEO of Belaz: “We always keep pace with the technological development of the industry, we do this in order to first of all improve the efficiency of our operations and, of course, the reliability of our machines.”.

There are 17 such furnaces, there are no analogues in the CIS installations. Rest is needed only for people, and the technique schedule - without weekends and holidays. But even those with a warm heart need a break. The stove cools for three days before a person can approach it.

Belaz dynasty

The soul of the biggest machine is, of course, people. And they've definitely passed their temper. And even the case was passed on by inheritance – and children and grandchildren will not be taught bad! There are dozens of dynasties in Belaz. The factory is not just a shift job, but a lifetime. No wonder production in Zhodino is called a city in the city - its roads, shops and even a clinic.

Belaz looks to the future

Modern giants operate in 82 countries. BelAZ operates in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Morocco, Angola, Chile and Russia. The main partner is Russia. There, in the harshest conditions, more than 12 thousand cars help a person.

The 7513R is a fully robotic version of the 130-ton. It is controlled by an operator at a distance, and artificial intelligence constantly scans the terrain and sees obstacles for a hundred meters.

Sergey Lesin, CEO of Belaz: “For Belaz, the production of unmanned vehicles is a strategic foundation for development for decades to come.”.

Technology is changing the world, but the place of man is the most important. He transforms from an operator into an engineer, a specialist in automated systems and management of complex equipment. For modern giants, all roads are open. And the future is now.
