The Kuzbass SUEK team reached the final of the CASE-IN championship

The MGIK team ("Young Mining Engineers of Kuzbass"), representing JSC SUEK-Kuzbass, became the silver medalist of the qualifying stage of the CASE-IN International Engineering Championship, which is part of the presidential platform "Russia – the land of Opportunities".

The competition, which brought together 16 teams of young specialists from leading industry companies in the Siberian Federal District, was held on April 20, 2022 at Irkutsk National Research Technical University. All the cases of the championship were devoted to the single theme "Industry 4.0" and related to the development of the latest technologies.

The participants of the League of Young Professionals, taking into account all the factors of the fourth industrial revolution, needed to formulate a project for changes in the company's management system that could simultaneously ensure technological development and minimize the risks associated with the irretrievable loss of qualified personnel. The young people demonstrated the results of their developments to experts and representatives of industry companies in the district.

The MGIK team presented the project "Modernization of auxiliary and conveyor transport". Its implementation through the introduction of new intelligent technologies will make it possible to fully automate in-house transport, reduce energy consumption of conveyor transport and focus on Russian suppliers of components. The proposed project met all the criteria of the championship and received the highest score in the category of "Adaptability". The team's ability to answer expert questions was also highly appreciated.

"I've never participated in a CASE-IN championship before.", - says the senior mechanic of JSC SUEK-Kuzbass Vadim Kravets. - The case was sent to us for solution ten days before the defense. We have taken a relevant issue for the company related to the timely delivery of equipment and materials to the slaughterhouses. Considering that the opponents were strong, I think they performed well."

"It was interesting for me to develop solutions on the topic of Industry 4.0 myself, and to hear what other teams are offering at the championship., - the design engineer of Sib-Damel LLC shares his impressions Artem Molodykh. -  Gained experience. He will undoubtedly be useful to us in the future."

Following the results of the qualifying stage, the MGIK team received a ticket to the finals of the anniversary International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", which will be held in Moscow in May 2022. The winners and prize-winners of the decisive test in the League of Young Professionals will have new opportunities for career and professional growth.

The "CASE-IN" project of the presidential platform "Russia — the land of Opportunities" is being implemented within the framework of the federal project "Social Elevators for Everyone" of the national project "Education".
