Students have created prototypes of systems for predictive maintenance and repair, reducing financial losses and equipment downtime due to failures.

«The experience of curating provides an opportunity to try out new ideas in the methodology of preparing students for the defense of their works, which, for example, cannot be done when defending a course project or a presentation at a seminar.", – commented the curator in the direction of "Digital Atom", Associate professor of the Department of Information Systems Andrey Igorevich Vorobyov.
