Schoolchildren from the Chelyabinsk region are finalists of the Autumn Cup of the CASE-IN Championship

Three teams of high school students from the Chelyabinsk region reached the final The School League of the Autumn Cup of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", which is part of the platform "Russia – the land of opportunities". Schoolchildren from Ozersk, Trekhgorny and Magnitogorsk will present their decision to the experts of the championship finals in Moscow.

The X anniversary season of the championship is dedicated to the theme "Industry 4.0". In the qualifying stage of the School League, students in grades 9-11 from 160 schools worked on cases related to digitalization and the introduction of information technology in Russian companies. On behalf of SIBUR 191, a team of high school students explored the possibilities of artificial intelligence, digital twins, predictive diagnostic systems, and Big Data and developed solutions that are interesting for the industry.

The 16 finalist teams of the Autumn Cup included schoolchildren from the Chelyabinsk region: the teams "Potential Physicists" (school No. 32, Ozersk), "Prism" (school No. 108, Trekhgorny) and "Voskhod" (the design school of the Magnitogorsk State Technical University named after G.I. Nosov, Magnitogorsk).

The students analyzed the causes of accidents on the technological equipment of one of the enterprises of PJSC SIBUR Holding and proposed ideas for improving the reliability and efficiency of this equipment using Industry 4.0 technologies.

Vladimir Kiryushkin, Ilya Tikhonchik and Ilya Kagarmanov from Trekhgorny have developed a predictive diagnostic system that allows predicting equipment failure and taking appropriate measures to prevent it.

At the CASE-IN championship, students of school No. 108 were able to master team interaction skills and cross-functional competencies, and also gained a lot of knowledge in general.

Gleb Salakhov (captain), Artyom Karpov and Danila Kurzaev from Magnitogorsk presented several innovative ideas.

For the "potential physicists" from Ozersk, Makar Labin (team captain), Vladimir Vorobyov and Nikifor Malyshev, participation in the CASE-IN championship allowed them to immerse themselves in the research process and gain new knowledge.

In the course of solving the case, students of school No. 32 analyzed the main causes of malfunctions on Nizhnekamskneftekhim equipment and proposed a set of technologies.

According to the students, the implementation of the solution will lead to a number of positive economic, social and environmental consequences: the cost of eliminating accidents will decrease, highly qualified IT specialists will be in demand on the labor market, etc.

In the final of the High School League, the case "Industry 4.0: new competencies" awaits high school students. Future engineers will have to understand how personnel requirements should change, taking into account the introduction of Industry 4.0 technologies, what employees should additionally learn and what skills to master. The students will propose the concept of an educational platform for staff training and development based on Industry 4.0 technologies and assess how the introduction of Industry 4.0 technologies will affect SIBUR's ESG ratings.

The young engineers will defend their solutions to the industry community at the final of the Autumn Cup, which will be held on December 16, 2022 in Moscow.

The reward for the champions and prize-winners of the School League will be additional points for the Unified State Exam when applying to leading universities in Russia. In addition, the winners will receive vouchers for specialized shifts at the All–Russian children's centers "Eaglet" and "Smena" and will be able to travel around Russia as part of the ANO project "Russia - the land of Opportunities". "More than a journey."

The organizers of the Autumn Cup of the CASE-IN Championship are the Reliable Shift Foundation, the Non-profit Partnership Youth Forum of Mining Leaders, LLC AstraLogica and the National Research University MEI with the support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. The CASE-IN project is being implemented within the framework of the federal project "Social Elevators for Everyone" of the national project "Education". The championship is held within the framework of the Decade of Science and Technology. 

The partners of the Autumn Cup of the CASE-IN Championship are ALROSA, SIBUR Holding, Gazstroyprom, Schlumberger, and RusHydro.
