Sverdlovsk metallurgists and power engineers became the best at the CASE-IN championship

Unmanned dump trucks, bulldozers and excavators are developing quarries without human intervention – very soon this will become a reality, Ural metallurgists are confident.

Young specialists from UMMC offered their engineering solution to the expert commission of the CASE-IN championship, one of the projects of the presidential platform "Russia – the land of opportunities". As a result, the UMMC team's decision to develop the Natalka gold deposit, one of the largest in the world in terms of its reserves, was recognized as the best.

Vyacheslav Yevsyukov, winner of the international engineering CASE-IN championship: "Imagine that this equipment drives independently, can make decisions in which sequence, which operations to perform – this significantly increases efficiency. Robots can optimize their work, reduce emissions of harmful substances, and consume fuel and energy resources."

A project in the field of digitalization was also proposed by Ural power engineers. According to the authors, thanks to the program, it will be possible to track in real time how much heat is flowing through all pipelines in Yekaterinburg. This solution will reduce costs, reduce accidents, and ensure consumer comfort.

Olga Bretzer-Portnova, winner of the international engineering CASE-IN championship: "We have proposed an application from which a person sitting at home on the couch can adjust the temperature level comfortable for him in the house. The pace of digitalization is increasing, and we think it will be possible in the near future."

Specialists solved the tasks of digitalization of production at the CASE-IN international engineering championship, the final of which was held in Moscow. The competition brings together schoolchildren, students and young professionals from Russia and the CIS countries. The participants offer their solutions for the implementation of technologies in real production. The championship is part of the presidential platform "Russia – the land of opportunities", which aims to increase the interest of young people in engineering and technical specialties.

Vladislav Davankov, Deputy General Director of ANO Russia – Land of Opportunities: "We plan to organize online training for the participants of the championship, publish the best solutions of the champions, and develop methodological recommendations for universities and schools on the organization of this project. Our goal is to ensure that every student, student, or young professional in any part of Russia can join the project."

As a result of the competition, Ural metallurgists and power engineers became the best in their industry areas, but young professionals do not have time to rest. The final of the Autumn Cup of the CASE-IN Championship will be held in December for the first time, and the new 2020 season is ahead.
