The scientific works of KuzSTU students were included in the collection of the engineering championship "CASE-IN"

The collection was published jointly with Kuzbass State Technical University following the results of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". It includes 21 articles by the strongest participants from 16 universities, including students from Kuzbass Polytechnic University. The scientific papers were based on the solutions of engineering cases presented during the championship.

"Over the 13 years of the CASE-IN International Engineering Championship, our participants have proposed many promising solutions relevant to industrial companies and the country's economy, - said the founder and co-chairman of the organizing committee of the CASE-IN championship Artem Korolev. – So that the industry community could get acquainted with bright ideas, and the developments themselves found practical application on production sites, we decided to create this collection. I am sure it will be of interest to both current specialists and company executives, as well as students who plan to link their careers with engineering."

One of the initiators of the release of the new edition was the Deputy Vice-rector for Research and International Cooperation, Head of the Scientific and Innovation Department of KuzSTU. Roman Belyaevsky. He is also an expert and mentor of projects of the Reliable Change Foundation, a case analyst, the organizer of the championship since 2016 and a member of the Hall of Fame of the CASE-IN championship in the Organizers category.

The collection includes three articles by young researchers from KuzSTU.

A second-year student Elizaveta Kartashova Under the guidance of Ivan Paskar, Senior lecturer at the Department of Power Supply of Mining and Industrial Enterprises, she prepared an article "Advanced end-to-end technologies in the framework of maintaining the country's technological leadership."

"In this article, we have studied the problem of accelerating the effective development of end-to-end technologies in the Russian Federation and their implementation in production structures. Five main areas of priority development were identified and ways for modernization were proposed. To accurately determine the effects, a PEST analysis was performed and possible risks with migration trajectories were identified", - Elizabeth tells us.

The leading areas of development of end-to-end technologies today are: the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and machine learning, cloud computing, digital twin, technologies of new materials and substances. They are aimed at maintaining and developing Russia's fuel and energy complex, and can not only simplify the system of interactions, but also reflect emerging trends in several directions at once.  

Dmitry Komarov He studies at the Prokopiev branch of KuzSTU. He prepared his article, "Industrial Safety in numbers," under the guidance of Maria Mamayeva, a senior lecturer at the Department of Information Technology, Mechanical Engineering and Motor Transport.

The article describes information technologies, the use of which will significantly increase the industrial safety and production efficiency of the Internatsionalny underground mine (Sakha Republic).

In the article, the author characterized and described the advantages of the project being implemented, consisting of a TETRA personnel positioning control system, a robotic self-propelled installation with additional equipment. Such equipment includes: an industrial dust analyzer, an industrial thermal imager, and a ground-penetrating radar. I calculated the required amount of equipment and estimated the cost of investments.   

Graduate students of KuzSTU Roman Kozlov, Olga Dolbnya and a master's student Ruslan Falyakhov Proposals have been formed to optimize the costs of the ventilation system of the Udachny underground mine (Republic of Sakha).  The study was supervised by Alexander Ermakov, PhD, Associate Professor, senior researcher at the Research Laboratory of Digital Transformation of enterprises of the mineral resource complex of KuzSTU.

"In order to increase efficiency and reduce the cost of ventilation, it was proposed to introduce automatic ventilation doors and replace the fan with a lower capacity to ensure a rational supply of air to the production. As a result of the study, a calculation was made that showed that the replaced fan has an efficiency 12% higher than the existing one - it helps to reduce the air supply to the mine workings due to lower power, which will lead to lower energy costs. At the same time, the standards of aerological safety and the amount of supplied air comply with regulatory requirements.", - the authors note.

The collection of articles by the participants of the CASE-IN championship will be registered in the Russian Science Citation Index. This means that all authors will receive additional privileges when applying to graduate and postgraduate studies, and the opportunity to receive additional scholarships.
