Why digital simulators are becoming the new standard for engineering training

Safely practicing the actions of personnel in conditions as close as possible to real production is a task that is being solved today by computer training complexes based on digital doubles. These technologies are becoming part of modern industry, and the participants of the oil Industry IT Championship are working on one of these solutions.

78 teams started working on the project, which passed the entrance stage and proved to be the strongest among 190 teams from 69 universities and 119 companies from Russia and CIS countries (Belarus, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan), as well as individual entrepreneurs and the self-employed.

The participants will have to create a computer training complex to simulate the operation of one of the key technological processes of oil refining. In addition to the digital model itself, the teams will prepare methodological training scenarios and a feasibility study for the project.

The best solutions will be presented at the final of the championship on October 14 in Moscow as part of the Youth Day of the International Forum "Russian Energy Week". Seven teams will advance to the finals, and three teams will also receive a ticket to the finals based on the results of the All-Russian IT Camp Additional Professional Education Program.

The organizers of the championship are Gazprom Neft and Energotechnohab Petersburg, the project partner is Aisors. The project operator is the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship.
