Industrial automation. Non-standard examples of import substitution

Import substitution, at present, has become one of the main directions of the technological development of our state. At the same time, import substitution is traditionally understood as the development of a complete or functional analogue of a particular product. The article shows two real examples of «indirect» import substitution, while the apparent cardinal difference in the objects of import substitution indicates (according to the author) that such an approach is fully justified and can be used not only in the field of industrial automation.
