What is the difference between Russian and Slovak assemblies? Russian-made TVs: excellent quality and reasonable price
The Samsung Electronics plant in the Kaluga region (Samsung Electronics Rus Kaluga LLC) is located in the north of the region in the Borovsky district on the border with the Moscow region, on the 85th kilometer of the Kyiv highway.
The agreement to establish Samsung Electronics Rus Kaluga was signed in July 2007. On September 5 of the same year, a solemn ceremony of laying the first stone in the foundation of the future plant took place and the construction of production facilities began - the main workshops for the production of television equipment and printed circuit boards were launched in less than a year.
On September 4, 2008, the official opening ceremony of the plant took place, which was attended by the Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Russia, senior management of Samsung and representatives of the administration of the Kaluga region.
The company systematically introduces innovative technologies, improves logistics processes, diversifies and increases production. Today, the total area of the plant complex is 460 thousand m2, with production premises occupying about 63 thousand m2.
The plant is an important point on the route of the New Silk Road project, created for the transit of goods from Northeast China and South Korea through the port of Dalian along the Chinese Eastern Railway and the Trans-Siberian Railway. The warehouse complex of the Samsung plant is used to store goods delivered along the New Silk Road.
The first container train, departing from the port of Dalian on January 27, 2016, delivered components to the Samsung Electronics plant in the Kaluga region, covering the entire journey in less than 10 days.
Using the Just in Time supply system, the plant tries to attract enterprises from Kaluga and surrounding regions as suppliers as much as possible. Today, the level of localization of production of Samsung washing machines is more than 50%, while 100% of plastic parts for washing machines are produced directly at the plant. Particular attention is paid to the issues of localization of raw materials (plastic and metal) - in this area the plant actively cooperates with OJSC NLMK (Lipetsk region), OJSC Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works, OJSC Nizhnekamsneftekhim.
The plant is constantly developing, among its partners are enterprises from the Lipetsk, Samara, Vladimir, Moscow and Kaluga regions, and this list continues to grow.
Television equipment produced at the plant in the Kaluga region is sold not only on the Russian market from the western regions to the Far East, but is also sent to consumers in Mongolia, Kazakhstan, the countries of Central Asia and Transcaucasia, as well as Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova.
Since September 2016, the plant has been exporting washing machines to 20 European countries, including Austria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia, Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary.
The Samsung Electronics plant in the Kaluga region provides jobs for about 1,200 residents of the region. Most of the plant's employees are residents of nearby cities in the Kaluga region (Obninsk, Borovsk, Balabanovo, Zhukov, Protva, Ermolino, Maloyaroslavets, Kaluga); The plant also employs employees from the Naro-Fominsk district of the Moscow region.
The Samsung Electronics plant in the Kaluga region is the first foreign enterprise in the Kaluga region to hire 20 employees with hearing impairments. This initiative of the plant was awarded a diploma from the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Kaluga Region in 2014. Workers with hearing impairments are employed on electronics assembly lines. Many of them show excellent professional results - some of the hearing-impaired workers were noted as the best employees in production for the first half of the year.
The company's policy is focused on the training and development of young specialists. Employees are given the opportunity to study foreign languages, as well as internships at Samsung enterprises in other countries of the world.
The plant organizes meals for employees at a high level, equipped workplaces for people with disabilities, and established a system of dialogue between personnel and the management of the enterprise, including thanks to the created Smart Management Committee.
Conditions for sports have been created for the plant’s employees, a gym and sports grounds are equipped, and corporate tournaments, competitions and cultural events are regularly held.
Production processes at the Samsung Electronics plant in the Kaluga region meet high standards of environmentally friendly production and the requirements of environmental legislation of the Russian Federation. The plant implements an energy efficient management system, and the plant undergoes certification annually.
The company takes an active part in the public life of the region, supporting various environmental, social, sports and educational projects.
With the support of the Samsung Electronics Rus Kaluga plant, training for high school students was organized as part of the additional education project on the basics of IT and programming “Samsung IT School” in Obninsk.
This project is part of the federal social and educational initiative of Samsung Electronics. At Samsung IT School, schoolchildren learn programming in Java for free, and at the end of the program they create their own mobile applications on the Android platform. The goal of the project is to assist in the training of future engineering and technical personnel, as well as help in the professional self-determination of students and increase their interest in the field of IT innovation.
On July 29, 2017, on Obninsk City Day, the Samsung Electronics plant became one of the main sponsors of a large-scale sports festival - the Obninsk Atomic Marathon, donating its products - televisions and monitors - to the prize fund. The leaders among men and women at a distance of 21.1 km received the main prizes - Samsung TVs with a diagonal of 55 inches, and at a distance of 7 km - TVs with a diagonal of 32 inches. The winners of both distances also received TVs and monitors, and 15 Samsung TVs and monitors with diagonals from 22 to 32 inches were raffled off among the finishers of both distances.
On September 4, 2008, the opening ceremony of the Samsung LCD and plasma TV plant in Kaluga took place. The Russian Samsung plant produces almost the entire range of TV models and monitors. Last week we chistoprudov And ottenki_serogo We saw how TVs are made.
In Russia, Samsung is known primarily as a manufacturer of electronics and household appliances. Despite the fact that more than 70% of the group's sales come from the electronics industry, Samsung has made a mark in almost all business sectors. Samsung cars drive around Korea, there is a Samsung bank and insurance companies, there is a Samsung amusement park, hotels, advertising and construction companies.
01. But let's return to TVs. If you see a Samsung TV in a store that was not made in Russia, then you know that they are selling you old stuff. All Samsung TVs are now made in Russia. They don’t just collect, they actually do. Let's start with the cases. 
02. To begin with, bags of components for the production of plastic panels arrive from Korea. 
03. This is where the whole thing is mixed, melted, and then hot plastic under pressure is fed through tubes to the workshop for stamping TV parts. 
04. These are molds for the production of TV cases. Here they wait in the wings; if necessary, they will install them on the machine and cast parts. 
05. Crane beams are used to install molds. The weight of one mold can reach several tons. 
06. And here are the machines in which the molds are installed. Hot plastic comes here under pressure, under pressure it is pumped into a mold and a part is obtained 
07. Typically, a TV body consists of a back cover and a front frame. 
08. It takes about 2 minutes to produce one part; in total, I counted 15 machines for casting parts at the factory. All of them are of the same type and work with replaceable molds. 
09.
10. All production is automated, workers only monitor the equipment. 
11. Sometimes you have to twist something) 
12. Here is the opened mold. 
13. 
15. PSHSHSHSHSHSHSH... 
16. And now the part is ready. 
17. The robot puts it on the belt and it goes to the next workshop. 
18. These are the remains of plastic from the channels through which it was fed. They are sent to recycling, where they will be crushed into small granules and used for internal parts of televisions. 
19. Suddenly, the worker opened a door and pulled out a large, hot piece of plastic. 
20. This is a workshop in which plastic panels of a TV or monitor are equipped with the necessary fittings, logos are stamped, etc. 
21. The girl takes a panel from the tape and places it on the machine that makes logos. 
22. This pink pad puts the Samsung logo on the faceless plastic. All other logos and necessary markings are affixed in the same way. 
23. Here the panels are checked for defects. It could be anything - a crack, underfill, scratch, gas bubbles, flow marks, stains, etc. If a defect is detected, the panel is rejected. 
24. To avoid scratching the front panel, it is immediately covered with a protective film. 
25. Where would a Russian factory be without a hammer?) 
27.
28. High quality line, to say nothing) 
29. And now the finished panel is sent to the warehouse. 
30. All components are stored in the warehouse in special containers. 
31. Each container has wheels; as needed, robots deliver these containers to people on conveyors. 
32. Here is a robot carrying matrices to production. Robots recognize the road by colored stripes on the floor. While the robot is moving, idiotic music plays. 
33. And this is a workshop for the production of microcircuits. Everything happens here automatically. 
34. Quality control table. 
35. Now a little about the traditions at the plant. What surprised me most were the slogans in the workshops, written in the best traditions of the Soviet era. They cause nothing but laughter among the workers, but the Koreans probably think that they will help the Russian natives to work. I will quote some of them:
The quality of SERK products starts with us!!! (Serk is Samsung Electronics Rus Kaluga)
- Our will cannot be broken: we poured, we poured and we will pour!!!
- Work with dedication, no one will do it better than you.
- Drive lazy people out of production, they are ruining our cars!
- We will increase productivity to 700,000, reducing waste!
- YES to Quality at Cell, NO to Defects!
- Working hours - time to work!
36. As you can see, everything was done to ensure that the workers did not get bored. By the way, almost all the plant workers are young people. Salary on the assembly line is 25,000, plus a benefits package, career prospects. 
37. In general, the plant is very cool, perfectly clean, nice young people, everything is automated, I can’t even believe it inside, this is the Kaluga region, not Korea. So that no one would be forgotten, the plant decided to make a pen for workers in the style of a cheap provincial eatery. The brightest example of Russian bad taste. 
38. A similar situation is happening at the stands. A week ago, Lebedev said very well about the design of internal booklets and presentations - http://tema.livejournal.com/575868.html 
39. A secret card is a bonus. Competitors' factories are marked with a red pin. Employees' names are also duplicated in Korean on their badges. 
The continuation of the story about how to assemble a TV will be this afternoon at the magazine Dima Chistoprudov , you will learn how parts are assembled into a finished product.
It is clear that it is incredibly difficult for a Russian manufacturer to compete with the world’s leading companies. The basis for sales of Russian models are televisions in the lowest price range. In monetary terms there is no need to talk about any comparison. Domestic televisions cost much less than their foreign counterparts, despite the fact that the market offers models of quite acceptable quality. It is no secret that a complete transition to digital broadcasting is planned for 2014-2015. This could be an excellent impetus for the development, for example, of mass production of hybrid TV models. After all, such television receivers can receive both analog and digital terrestrial signals. If a domestic manufacturer gets its bearings in time and offers good quality, and at a very reasonable price, then the opportunity to gain a strong foothold in the market will be guaranteed.
POLAR is the leader of the Russian market
year 2000. The POLAR company, founded back in 1992 by several like-minded students from the Moscow Aviation Institute, was the first among all Russian manufacturers to begin producing televisions using digital technologies. Then the company’s own development appeared - a new generation technology, Digitotal Technology, which was soon patented. It must be admitted that televisions of this level were then found exclusively among expensive foreign-made models. The company managed to transition to a new powerful control processor with high quality signal processing and a wide range of service capabilities. It included video games, and a new high-reliability power supply circuit was used, which included an auto-voltage system and reduced power consumption. The company received a gold medal at the IV All-Russian interindustry exhibition of domestic goods "Buy Russian!"
Since 2010, POLAR has been producing the first Russian LED TVs and models of LCD and LED TVs, which are produced using DGview technology. A POLAR TV is a modern multimedia center that can receive digital and analogue television, record and play high-definition multimedia content from external digital media. Our immediate plans include the release of 3D TVs.
LED TV POLAR 94LTV7105 - screen diagonal size - 94 cm (37"), body colors: silver metal, new DGview technology, built-in digital DVD-T2 tuner, (MPEG4 H.264 HD, reception of open and paid channels), Resolution support HDTV up to 1080p, Built-in usb cinema hd, USB PVR function (recording digital channels), LED backlight, stereo sound, equalizer, NICAM, dynamic system CONTRAST +, teletext.

"Rubin" - Soviet brand
"Rubin" is a brand of Soviet and Russian televisions that is familiar to everyone. They were produced back in 1956. Now TVs under the Rubin brand are produced at the Videofon plant in Voronezh and at the LLC TV-ALLIANCE enterprise in Kaliningrad. Modern "RUBIN" is a symbiosis of Russian and foreign technologies. Foreign components make up at least 70-80% of TVs currently produced. Picture tubes are produced by world-famous companies: Philips, Samsung, Thomson, LG. All models provide the adopted unified Philips circuit design concept and use integrated circuits from this company. The printed circuit board is manufactured according to the documentation of the Rubin plant in Singapore. This factory supplies Sony, Panasonic and other well-known brands with its boards, so you don’t have to worry about quality assurance. But an important question - the question of cost for the modern Russian consumer - is very relevant. And, given that the price of Rubin models is 10-15% lower than the cost of foreign analogues, the popularity of these devices among Russian consumers is understandable. An important factor is that a huge part of Russia’s territory is located in areas of “uncertain” reception. And many foreign models do not provide for work in such extreme conditions. Rubin TVs have the highest sensitivity and noise immunity of the signal processing path for both image and sound. TV developers also took into account the fact that in many places, especially in distant regions, significant fluctuations in the power supply voltage are often observed.
LED TVs Rubin RB-32SL1UE are, first of all, a favorable price-quality ratio, which is highly appreciated by Russian consumers. The functional features of Rubin TVs are practically not inferior to popular foreign models on the market. LED TVs Rubin RB-32SL1UE are equipped with a built-in USB MKV video player, with which you can view not only photos, but also video files downloaded to Flash media on a large screen. The model is available in three body colors: black, white and silver.
Rubin RB-22SL1UF LED TVs are equipped with a built-in USB input and provide high-definition resolution (Full HD), guaranteeing excellent image quality and color rendition. The Rubin RB-22SL1UF is an ultra-modern, slim RB-22SL1UF that complements the interior of a modern apartment. The model is available in three body colors: black, white and silver.
LED TV model RB-24S2UFD - from the S2 series with built-in USB video player and DVD player, LED technology significantly improves the four main components of the image: contrast, clarity, color gamut and brightness, there is a built-in USB video player and DVD player, FullHD resolution guarantees the image on the RB-24S2UFD screen with clear boundaries, small details, and color saturation. The model is equipped with a VGA connector and can be used as a computer monitor. The design of RB-24S2UFD represents the latest fashion trends. The body is manufactured using two-component casting technology, without the use of spray paint. Thanks to LEDs, the power consumption of RB-24S2UD TVs has been reduced by an average of 40%, which significantly reduces electricity bills. Agree, this is an important quality for the Russian consumer.
Overpay and buy a well-known Western brand? Or buy a Russian-made TV that has a lower cost and excellent characteristics? It's up to you to decide.

Today I would like to finally close this issue by providing a rating of the best TV manufacturers in 2017. All the companies listed below are distinguished not only by good build quality, but also by a wide range of models, both budget and expensive!
Without a doubt, Samsung is considered the best TV brand. Since 2010, the Korean industrial concern has opened production of its digital equipment in Russia, thanks to which it is currently possible to buy a multifunctional, thin TV for little money. Samsung TV equipment is considered the most popular among all segments of the population. Their best 32-inch model is considered to be a device with an LCD display and LED backlight - Samsung UE32K5500AU, which can be bought in 2017 for 24 thousand rubles.
The manufacturer's advantages also include the presence of a large number of service centers in cities, as well as a convenient Smart TV interface. The disadvantage is that the colors on some displays are too bright, but this problem has already been practically eliminated.
Sony
The second position in our rating is occupied by an equally popular manufacturer of household appliances - Sony. The main, distinctive advantages of TVs from this Japanese brand are exquisite design, good build quality (as they are assembled in Slovakia) and the versatility of almost all modern models.
Among the shortcomings, we should note the slightly increased cost of equipment, relative to the leader of our rating - Samsung. This is due to the fact that the assembly is Slovak or Asia Minor. In general, if you do not trust the domestic manufacturer, it is better to overpay a little and choose a Sony TV, which ranks second in our rating.
LG
Our TOP 3 is closed by another Korean household appliances company, which also made it into the list. The LG brand is famous for the fact that all products are optimal in price and quality. Those. the price segment is in the middle between luxury and budget brands. A certain advantage of LG TVs is the best 3D and direct-LED backlighting.
Philips
Moving to the end of the rating, we should highlight another good TV brand – Philips. The hallmark of this brand’s television equipment is the Ambilight LED backlight, which you can see in the photo example below.
In addition, the Philips manufacturer was included in our 2017 rating due to the fact that its TV range features a wide range of functions at a relatively low price. The only thing that spoils the opinion about this brand, judging by the reviews on thematic forums, the menu on the Philips screen is a little slow. But, again, there are only a small number of negative reviews about Philips.
We left the last step in the TOP 5 for the popular brand of digital technology - the Japanese company Panasonic. As in the situation with Philips, Panasonic TVs fall into the category of being quite reliable at not such a high price. Good picture quality and modern design leave only a positive impression of the brand.
