4 KuzSTU teams – in the final of the "CASE-IN" championship

During the semi-finals, the teams solved new tasks from industry partners and defended their solutions to representatives of leading industrial companies. The cases of all directions were united by the general idea of optimizing the work of an enterprise using Industry 4.0 technology and ESG principles.

According to the test results, the teams "Mountain of Winds" of the KuzSTU branch in Prokopyevsk and "Black Gold" of the Mining Institute (Mining), as well as the "EDS" team of the Institute of Energy (Electric Power Industry) entered the final stage of the competition.

The last team to join the finalists was the team of the mining institute "On Guard of Safety", which took part in a new direction for KuzSTU – "Industrial Safety". The pioneer team included students of the BGs-171 group Alexander Bolshegolov, Anastasia Surmina, Alina Stakhanova and Margarita Sistuk.

In the semi-finals, the students solved a case study on optimizing environmental safety in production. The participants had to analyze the effectiveness of the waste management system and develop a set of measures to improve environmental safety by modernizing waste collection, transportation, treatment, disposal, neutralization and disposal

"In addition to optimizing waste disposal, we thought about improving the working conditions of employees during various production operations, for example, laying a gas pipeline. They proposed to introduce special heated clothing for specialists, and also came up with a concept in which the orbital welding of gas pipes is processed by a grinding machine, which minimizes human interference in the production process.", - says Alexander Bolshegolov, captain of the On Guard of Safety team.

Now the students will travel to Moscow, where the final of the CASE-IN championship will be held at the end of May. The final program includes not only case defense, but also educational events, workshops to improve personal effectiveness, and meetings with leading employers in the industry. The winners and prize-winners of the championship will receive valuable prizes: preferential admission conditions for master's and postgraduate studies at partner universities and career advancement of young professionals.
