Students from Yakutsk got to the final of the Autumn Cup "CASE-IN"

3 student teams of the Far Eastern Federal District reached the final The Autumn Cup of the CASE-IN Championship, which is part of the Russia – Land of Opportunity platform. Future specialists went to Moscow to conquer the industry community with their ideas and make themselves known to the largest industrial companies.

Teams from Vladivostok, Yakutsk and Komsomolsk-on-Amur are taking part in the Far Eastern Federal District.

The X anniversary season of the championship is marked by Industry 4.0. In the qualifying stage, 721 youth teams worked on cases related to the development of digitalization and the introduction of information technology at the production sites of the Student League partners ALROSA, SIBUR and Gazstroyprom. The top 45 teams were able to make it to the semifinals, and in the final test, almost 100 students from 24 teams will share their developments with experts.

According to the finalists, participation in the "CASE-IN" provides students with the experience of solving engineering problems that open up a deeper understanding of the industry and its driving mechanisms. The championship is a chance for future specialists to become true professionals in their field while still a student.

The students of the Northeastern Federal University named after M. K. Ammosov from the EastStream team go to the decisive test of the season with the highest ambitions. Nikolay Ponomarev (captain), Denis Olesov, Shafi Hussein and Evgeny Grigoriev are confident that they managed to reach the finals of the championship thanks to dedication and hard work.

"Participation in the championship has improved our social skills, taught us how to work in a team and build a solution strategy," said Captain Nikolai Ponomarev. "This is a great chance for students to prove themselves, unleash their capabilities and skills, and expand their professional knowledge."

In the semifinals, students from Yakutsk solved the case from ALROSA "Digital Industry: managing the raw material base of a mining enterprise." The students got acquainted with the technology of mining and processing diamond-containing ore, analyzed the initial data and the main stages of the company's technological processes for the presence of Industry 4.0 elements, proposed solutions to modernize the company's dispatching system, and also found ways to optimize the quality of ore raw materials supplied to the factory.

"The essence of our solution is to build a digital twin, with which we can monitor technological parameters and change them for optimal operation. It will also provide an opportunity to test engineering solutions without risks and production shutdowns. Thanks to the introduction of Industry 4.0 technologies, large–scale automation of production will be carried out, as a result of which we will be able to monitor all technological processes in real time and instantly respond to errors," explained Nikolay Ponomarev.

At the final of the Autumn CASE-IN Cup, which will be held on December 16, 2022 in Moscow, students, on behalf of ALROSA, will propose a solution to optimize the operation of the Almazny mine based on Industry 4.0 technologies.

The champions and prize-winners will receive internships in leading Russian industrial companies with the possibility of further employment. The winners will also receive privileges upon admission to postgraduate and master's degrees at the partner universities of the championship and will be able to travel around Russia as part of the ANO "Russia – the land of Opportunities" project "More than a journey".
