Saratov Polytechnic students won the silver medal in the field of Industrial Safety

Maria Vytyaeva, Elizaveta Kalmykova, Madina Matkurbanova and Denis Merkulov, 3rd year students of the Technosphere Safety and Ecology and Nature Management disciplines at the Gagarin State Technical University, took 2nd place in the finals of the X season as part of the Rutherford Atoms team. The International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" in the field of "Industrial safety".

In the jubilee season of the championship, two new directions appeared – "Industrial Safety" and "Automation and IT".

The team was led by Zoya Simonova and Alexander Zhutov, associate professors of the Department of Ecology and Technosphere Safety.

The event was held at the National Research Technological University "MISIS" from May 25 to May 27.

In 2022, more than 600 students and young professionals representing leading universities and organizations from 42 regions of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan took part in the finals of the championship in all areas.

In the field of Industrial Safety, 9 teams competed in the finals, which were supposed to present solutions for the project "New Challenges and Opportunities in Industry 4.0" for Gazstroyprom JSC. The answers of the participants were evaluated by an expert commission consisting of representatives of Gazstroyprom JSC, NIPIGAZ JSC, Electrochemical Plant Production Association JSC, STNG JSC and Gazprom PJSC.

According to the results of the performances, the first place was awarded to the Bauman Moscow State Technical University team, the second to the Gagarin State Technical University team, and the third to the Bauman Moscow State Technical University team.

In addition to medals and diplomas, the winners were awarded certificates for a paid internship in the production companies of the Gazstroyprom JSC group for a period of 1 month and certificates of the "More than a Trip" program.

Student team "Machine builders" of the Department "Welding and Metallurgy" Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science and Transport of Gagarin State Technical University, being the winners of the semifinal of the student League Participated in the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" in the field of Metallurgy, which took place at the Moscow National Research Technological University (MISIS). 

3rd year students of the direction "Mechanical Engineering" Sergey Guzev, Sergey Karpenko, Viktor Kurgankov, Valery Maslenikov worthily defended the solution of the case "Modernization of aluminum production based on Industry 4.0 technologies". The case study consisted in analyzing the technological process of producing aluminum and alloys based on it, the design features of an industrial mixer for mixing and heating the charge, and identifying the stages of technology at which it is possible to increase the cost of aluminum blanks. The team proposed and justified the need to use augmented Reality technology in real-world production.

The final of the Student League of the jubilee X CASE-IN Championship was also attended by 4th year students of the Institute of Energy of the SSTU – Alexander Ladin, Igor Shkoda, Ivan Kuznetsov and Sergey Maksimov, Master's student of the Department of Electric Power Engineering and Electrical Engineering in the field of Electric Power Engineering.

As part of the Industry 4.0 case, TeamEnergy team members presented solutions to current challenges in the electric power industry and proposed developing the capabilities and applications of modern technologies to ensure the sustainability of energy systems using digital technologies. According to the results of the defenses, the team took 7th place.
