TIU students have developed a web interface for Rosatom

The team of the flagship university "Gamma-Girls" took the second place in the "Digital Atom" selection stage of the student league of the VIII International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN".

The students offered a solution to a case from the Rosatom state Corporation on the management of technical repair and maintenance of machine tools with numerical control.

Tomsk Polytechnic University named the three best teams of the qualifying stage of the "CASE-IN" championship. Three TIU teams participated in the competition, and one of them managed to reach the finals. Gamma-Girls is a team of third–year students from the Department of Motor Transport, Construction and Road Vehicles of the Construction Institute, consisting of Victoria Velizhanina, Regina Alimbayeva, Tatiana Mizina and Angelina Sycheva. The head of the group is Vladimir Domansky, Head of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. At the championship, the girls not only offered an original solution to the Rosatom case, but also successfully defended it to a potential customer.

To work on the case, we studied the specifics of the nuclear industry and the work of personnel in this industry. All the information was used in the development of the final product, a web interface that allows you to track the condition and downtime of machines, completed repairs, as well as the schedule of employees who were involved in them.

The system proposed by the students takes into account several users – the head of the workshop, the head of the repair service and repair workers. Taking into account the responsibilities of the staff, the girls have developed a unique interface for each user with the settings and functionality necessary for a particular profession.

The expert commission of the championship, according to tradition, included potential customers of the product – representatives of industry partner companies of the championship, government and scientific organizations, as well as the faculty of Tomsk Polytechnic University. The work of the TIU team was evaluated according to five criteria: technology, originality and novelty of the solution (innovation), economics, presentation and presentation, answers to experts' questions.

Due to the measures taken in Russia to prevent the non-proliferation of coronavirus infection, the "CASE-IN" qualifying stage was held in a remote format. The students communicated with the experts from home via videoconference, which did not affect the quality of the championship in any way. "Of course, we were worried and worried. I really wanted to win," says the leader of the Gamma–Girls team, Victoria Velizhanina.

The International Engineering CASE-IN Championship is a system of competitions for solving engineering cases for schoolchildren, students and young specialists of fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes. Students, undergraduates and postgraduates of educational organizations under the age of 25 take part in the student league of the championship. The competition consists of face-to-face and correspondence rounds, which are held on the basis of educational organizations. Tyumen Industrial University has repeatedly acted as a venue for the areas of "Petrochemistry", "Electric Power Industry" and "Oil and Gas business".
