155 engineering solutions will be presented at the final of the jubilee "CASE-IN" in Moscow

On May 25-27, 2022, at the site of the National Research Technological University "MISiS" (Moscow, Leninsky Prospekt, 4, building 1) the final will be held X The International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", which is included in the presidential platform "Russia is a land of opportunity".  Students and young specialists will present their solutions to experts from the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes, the nuclear industry and related industries.

In 2022, the CASE-IN championship is dedicated to the theme "Industry 4.0": it permeates the tasks of all competitions held as part of the jubilee X season of the championship.

"This year 134 student teams will come to the CASE-IN finals., - says the founder and co-chairman of the organizing committee of the CASE-IN championship Artem Korolev, - The students will be joined by young specialists: 15 youth teams of the League of Young Specialists and 6 teams of the Special League of PJSC "T Plus".

In the final of the Student League, teams from 108 universities from 44 cities of Russia will meet, including a team from the Republic of Kazakhstan and 3 teams from the Republic of Belarus.

Students will be asked by the partner companies of the championship to present solutions in 10 industry areas: automation and IT, geological exploration, mining, mining machinery and equipment, metallurgy, oil and gas, petrochemistry, project engineering, industrial safety, electric power industry.

As part of the final tasks, future industry specialists had to finalize the tasks of the cases received at the previous stages of the championship. 

The partner of the "mining" directions of "CASE-IN" is traditionally ALROSA JSC (PAO). The future for geologists It is proposed to draw up a project of geological exploration and calculate the reserves of minerals. The contestants will also assess the amount of investments needed to implement the proposed project.

Before the future the miners The task was to analyze the processes of under-laying and shrinkage of laying mixtures during laying operations. The students were required to propose a modern way of conducting laying operations, formulate and propose a technology to reduce the amount of under-laying and shrinkage of the laying mixture in the conditions of the Internatsionalny underground mine.

Participants of the new direction "Mining machinery and equipment", Launched on the initiative of ALROSA and a continuation of the Mining business, they should ensure the uninterrupted operation of the processing plant's technological stationary equipment. On the instructions of the diamond mining company, the young people analyzed and collected information about the existing experience in monitoring the condition of stationary equipment, and proposed options for implementing a mobile monitoring system for equipment using Industry 4.0 technologies.

Partners of the direction "Electric power Industry" The two largest industry companies in the country are speaking. JSC SO UES invited students to develop an action plan to improve the reliability of the united energy system of the East of the UES of Russia based on modern technologies and management tools of Industry 4.0. PJSC FGC UES, in turn, asked future power engineers to develop a program for the innovative development of the company until 2030 with a further perspective.

Future ones metallurgists They analyze the process of obtaining an aluminum alloy of the required composition and evaluate the possibility of using Industry 4.0 technologies to modernize and increase the efficiency of aluminum production. The assignment of the case was developed based on the materials of RUSAL.

Referral participants "Oil and gas business" YATEK proposed analyzing the technology and location of wells and ammonia production equipment using digital technologies.

On behalf of SIBUR, future specialists in the field of Petrochemicals We have developed a system for automatic control, processing and analysis of the company's emissions and discharges of pollutants, which fully complies with the requirements of the legislation.

For referral participants "Project engineering" The NIPIGAZ partner company has prepared a task to improve the efficiency of the design and construction activities of the enterprise for the production of methane-hydrogen mixtures from natural and associated gases and the subsequent release of pure hydrogen from them.

The new partner of the championship is Gazstroyprom JSC, having launched two new directions "Industrial safety" and "Automation and IT», expanded the circle of participants of the anniversary season.

Contestants of the direction "Industrial safety" We have developed a set of measures to improve environmental safety by modernizing waste collection, transportation, processing, disposal, neutralization and disposal based on the principles and approaches of Industry 4.0.

In turn, future programmers and IT-specialists We have created an information and analytical system to analyze the presented data and identify the factors that have the greatest impact on the effectiveness of processes related to the management of construction machinery.

The most senior participants of the final – young professionals 14 fuel and energy complex and MSK companies from 9 Russian regions. The teams have formed a draft of changes in the company's management system that can ensure technological development and minimize the risks associated with the irretrievable loss of qualified personnel.

6 finalists will join the pool youth teams of branches of PJSC "T Plus" which will present promising technologies to improve the quality of energy supply.

The final will conclude with a solemn ceremony of awarding the champions and prize-winners of the X season of the International Engineering Championship "CASE–IN" with the participation of representatives of the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation, ANO "Russia - Land of Opportunities", the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs and industry partner companies of the project.

"A reward to the winners and prize-winners They will internships and employment opportunities in the partner companies of the championship, admission to postgraduate and master's degree programs at partner universities on preferential terms, new career opportunities and participation in industry youth educational forums", – commented Artem Korolev.

The "CASE-IN" project of the Presidential platform "Russia – the land of opportunities" It is implemented within the framework of the federal project "Social elevators for everyone" of the national project "Education".

The organizers of the CASE-IN championship are the Reliable Change Foundation, the Non-profit Partnership Youth Forum of Mining Leaders and AstraLogica LLC. The co-organizer of the Season X finale is the National Research Technological University MISIS.
