The Generation 4.0 team of St. Petersburg Mining University won first place at the developers’ forum “Digital twins - moving companies to new greatness.” It was organized by LUT-University of Lappeenranta (Finland).

More than thirty teams from the EU and Russia participated in six sections of the competition. Each team consisted of groups of two to five people, and had to solve one programming problem. The format of the event implied that the students would encounter problems they have never encountered with before, and therefore the young people were allowed to consult with mentors and representatives of the companies preparing the problems. Negotiations were conducted online, on the Zoom platform.

Representatives of St. Petersburg's high school were invited to the “Ainak & Valuestream together” section, dedicated to digitalization, digital doubles, and augmented reality (AR) technology. The students had to extend the functionality of one of the mobile applications of the American company Ainak. It allows users to optimally arrange furniture and equipment in enterprise facilities by means of 3D modeling.

“Our solution was built on the use of digital twins, as well as the analysis of the parameters of the equipment, such as noise, temperature, vibration, network load, and so on. This allowed us to offer users the best option for the placement of technological mechanisms, taking into account their characteristics, and to make the movement of employees around the production more convenient. In addition, we have offered to create a library of 3D-models and color indication of areas of objects by degree of danger,” says a member of Generation 4.0 team Antonina Stoyanova.

It should be noted that the students of Mining University have developed a mobile application on the Android platform.

1) Antonina Stoyanova, ISTM-20

2) Maksim Boltov, Institute of Technology-17

3) Vladislav Valnev, ANM-20

4) Vladislav Moskvitin, DG-17
