At the same time, they proceeded from the real challenges facing the company.  What is especially valuable is that the students were able to prove themselves, their knowledge and erudition, as well as learn from the experience of leading experts in the implementation of large-scale projects. I would like to thank the companies for the support and participation of their specialists in this project."

The results of their efforts were presented remotely by the youth teams to an expert commission composed of leading specialists from the league's partner companies.

The essence of the Champions project is the transition of the company's production activities to Industry 4.0 technologies.

"In our decision, we considered the use of boiler combustion mode control systems using a video camera monitoring the flare, the use of video monitoring systems for boiler heating surfaces, which can predict the emergency condition of metal and prevent unplanned incidents, the introduction of predictive systems for the condition of turbine units and heating networks. Gorenje said. A special league helps young professionals understand the importance of a team in solving issues, realize the responsibility of each participant to the overall result, and hone their skills in solving real production tasks in a limited time.", - emphasized Bogdan Avramenko.

This year, almost all the members of our team consisted of "newcomers". They acquired not only theoretical knowledge, but also contributed to the digital transformation of our company and the entire Russian fuel and energy complex."

At the competition, the team explored advanced diagnostic methods for Russian energy facilities, studied the regulatory framework in the field of Industry 4.0 technologies, and reviewed in detail the main aspects of implementing facility management using innovative methods. The mainstay of the efforts of the silver medalists was the project to create a unified ecosystem for managing capital construction projects of TGC-1 PJSC, which will lead to the creation of digital twins.
