"Really well done! Wow turn! Is this possible with us ?!" The football arena in Vitebsk is now full of admiring remarks. And the conversation is not about the match of world football stars, but about the grandiose project that received temporary registration here - the exhibition "Intellectual Belarus". Its locations, divided into thematic blocks, are located in the parking lots in front of the entrance to the arena and indoors along the perimeter of the rectangle. Near the main entrance to the Central Sports Complex, there are novelties of the Belarusian automobile industry. Inside, opposite the entrance, two large islands have formed, each side of which is proudly decorated with fresh domestic developments. In the center are eye-catching electric cars and drones, scooters and a handsome gyroplane. On the right side - products of energy, medicine, agro-industrial complex and youth projects. On the left side, guests are offered to evaluate the novelties of the defense industry, innovative instrumentation, it and robotics developments. "The eyes run wide", - visitors share and immediately rush to the next stand with a specialist who will tell and show everything in detail.
Friday - the opening day of the exhibition - turned out to be busy. In the first hour alone, the exposition was visited by over 2,000 people. Whole teams, school classes, groups of students came. Those to whom the schedule allowed came with their families, like the young Zemko family from Vitebsk. “We knew that the exhibition was traveling all over the country, and we were waiting for it to be with us. We wanted to personally see what new things were invented and feel. After all, we can’t learn everything from social networks, newspapers and TV,” says the HEAD of the family, Igor Zemko. His wife Yulia and son Nikita are distracted for a few seconds to get acquainted with the agrodrone.“There are very interesting developments here, we are impressed. We were surprised that there are already drones of this size. This is a step forward, into the future. All electric, electric vehicles we have are really good fellows! The younger generation is especially interested,” the spouses share, and schoolboy Nikita he adds with embarrassment that he has already managed to play the role of a military aviator and an electric car driver.
Orsha electric cars also decorated the exposition center. For 2.5 years on the market, the local company E-Power, together with a Chinese company, has supplemented the production of charging stations with the production of its own electric cars. If earlier they were imported from the Middle Kingdom, today in Orsha they are already making a frame, and this year they plan to assemble five thousand trucks powered by electricity. “Now we have brought an analogue of a truck (made in CHINA) with a carrying capacity of 600 kg. And we are already developing it on the basis of Belarusian production in order to produce 90% of it in Orsha. the average will be around $15 thousand. Power reserve 200 km. And this is ecology, improving the quality of life. And economically - a trip from Orsha to MINSK costs me only Br7.12," says Alexander Kireev, head of the company.
A visit to "Intellectual Belarus" should be planned for several hours, preferably for a day, the guests believe. After all, there will definitely be locations where you want to stay and personally go through all the "quests" from the developers. For example, a simulator for future dentists from Vitebsk Medical University, where you can try to install a filling for a "patient", or a virtual tour of the Lukoml State District Power Plant with recreated premises of combined cycle plants. With the help of augmented reality glasses, you can wander around the station and try to "set up" the equipment - the process is exciting.
"The software was created to train new staff who come to work. Here is another virtual training ground. This is a complete copy of our training ground and buildings where classes are held. There are seven locations and seventeen different tasks, modeled in such a way that a person thoroughly goes through the entire technological the chain of work," explains the head of the VET of the branch "Training Center" RUE "Vitebskenergo".
“We participated in the first stage of the exhibition in Minsk, when it was not yet known that it would be shown in other cities of the country. Everything was at a high level, and here the level is not lower,” he added. “We want to show our compatriots what we have in our country there are smart guys going towards their goals and developing new technologies, devices that will then flow into our daily lives, like phones and other gadgets."
Meanwhile, the virtual tour is being completed by Anastasia Sekirash, the design engineer of the station. The girl is impressed, because although she works at the Lukoml State District Power Plant, she has never been to these locations before, especially virtually - the development is something completely fresh (they began to develop it from the beginning of this year). “I climbed the tower, with my fear of heights, you know, it was a kind of feat,” she laughs. “Emotions are absolutely real, you can press and switch something without harm to your HEALTH.”
The girl with colleagues and acquaintances, with whom they came together to the regional center to see the scientific and technological achievements of Belarusians, walked around all thematic locations. “I was amazed that there is a Belarusian car that can reach speeds of up to 170 km / h in four seconds. And here it is, blue,” Anastasia shows the car as if from a science fiction movie. “Very beautiful, with an open top. I would love to Ride if the developers would allow and if the weather conditions were."
The girl's colleagues appreciated the development of "Vitebskoblgaz" - a medical chair that assesses the state of human health: pressure, weight, temperature and much more. It is enough just to sit down, and the device will measure all the parameters and display them on the screen, and even voice them. An impressive line periodically lined up for this chair. “They say that SMS with the results of the patient immediately comes to the DOCTOR, and he already decides what to do next: make an appointment with a person or give recommendations remotely. We are considering such a chair for our enterprise, we have more than 1.5 thousand employees, that would be a good help," they say.
Manufacturers of veterinary drugs offer to study their developments as a separate block. For consultations, they are approached by both livestock workers and pet owners, who also always need care, and sometimes treatment. “We are developing many new products that have no analogues. These are wound care products, mineral vitamin preparations and others. The so-called green line is an alternative to antibiotics, that is, ecological animal husbandry. As everyone knows, resistance to antibiotics is transmitted to people with animal products. That is, our products are intended for us to eat healthy MEAT and MILK,” explains the deputy DIRECTOR for financial issues of the Vitebsk company Belkarolin.
Another Vitebsk manufacturer, BelVitunifarm, is closely developing products that will completely replace imported analogues. Last year, the company produced six new drugs against viral infections of cattle and bacterial infections. “In terms of their qualities, these drugs are superior to those that our enterprises had to purchase abroad before,” explains Deputy General Director for Development Vladimir Mashero. “Our product is in demand not only in Belarus, but also in neighboring countries. Those vaccines and sera that we have today we produce - drugs of the highest quality, which are included in the mandatory treatment and vaccination at all livestock facilities in our country.In addition, we are actively developing new drugs that will also increase the number of import-substituting products.
A large touch screen designed by Beltelecom invites you to explore the Smart City application. It collected information about the services and services that the environment represents in 13 Belarusian cities. Vitebsk is not among them yet, but Braslav, Glubokoe, Lepel, Orsha and Polotsk from the northern region are represented. "The entire infrastructure of the city, the entire ecosystem is concentrated in the project. There are more than 40 areas of activity here: hospitals, clinics, schools, colleges, universities, trade and leisure facilities - absolutely everything is in one user's palm. And there is no need to search the Internet for information on various sites ", - Alexander Slovak, Head of the Key Accounts Group of the Vitebsk branch of Beltelecom RUE, explains, simultaneously clicking on different application icons and opening locations.
The program works on IOS and Android systems and it is free for users. This year, applications will be added to more than 20 cities, including Vitebsk. The launch is planned for the beginning of July, so that the virtual platform opens for the next "Slavianski Bazaar".
Walking through the exhibition, guests do not skimp on praise. “There are so many positive emotions, because we really don’t know what we have, what they produce. And this needs to be shown, we have something to brag about,” says visitor Evgeny Danchenko. “I really liked the BELAZ booth, virtual reality glasses, because I was pleasantly surprised that our equipment is presented in 19 countries, and we are the third in the world in the production of mining dump trucks. Beltelecom gave a lot of information, specifically "Smart City". We will implement it, including for personal use ".
First-year students of Vitebsk State University named after P.M.Masherov shared their opinion that they would like to see such exhibitions in the regional center more often. "It's great to look at new developments. New modern technologies, robots and everything connected with them, IT - your eyes just run wide, but we will study everything thoroughly," say Irina Gusachenko and Maria Sukhotskaya. "It's great for schoolchildren, they can find themselves in something, for example, they will decide on their future profession, they will want to try their hand at robotics or other fields."
“I am shocked by absolutely all the exhibitions. Because somewhere you don’t even think that this can be, but it already exists and is being used. I was especially impressed by the equipment, cars, drones,” says Galina Avizha, a resident of Chashnikov. block, we saw how icons are drawn before our eyes. This is the exhibition that you will keep in your head for a very long time, analyze, remember. And you really overflow with a sense of pride for our country and our people of science."
Vitebsk residents and guests of the regional center can get acquainted with "Intellectual Belarus" on March 4 until 19.00 and on March 5 from 10.00 to 18.00. The northern region is represented by more than 20 enterprises that have prepared about a hundred projects. A large-scale exhibition of modern achievements was held in the Belarusian capital in January. Then, on the initiative and instruction of the head of state, the project was sent to the regions so that as many Belarusians as possible could get acquainted with the latest domestic developments and advanced technologies.
