The competition took place in Moscow from October 19 to 21 at the Testing&Control exhibition in Crocus Expo. The TechSkills Championship in the competency ‘Digital Manufacturing’ brought together teams from leading Russian industrial enterprises on one platform. This is an independent professional competition aimed at developing key skills in digital technologies and production process management. Participants solve competitive tasks in production engineering, modeling and programming of industrial robots and automated systems, as well as process optimization based on digital analytics.
The team from the Innovation and Technology Center (ITC) AVTOTOR took third place. First place was taken by the team from the state corporation Roscosmos, second place by Rosatom. Over three days of competition, the AVTOTOR team completed four tasks: created a digital twin of a production workshop, programmed an industrial robot and tested the program on a real stand, analyzed production losses, and performed precise measurement control of a part. AVTOTOR engineers designed a fully automated workshop with 10 robots, seven robotic carts, and three cranes in the warehouse.
The AVTOTUR ITC team participated in the championship for the first time. Meanwhile, the employees of the Innovation and Technology Center have been working with software for creating digital twins for several months and are applying it in production.
The director of the ITC AVTOTOR Research and Development Center, Alexander Melikhov, emphasized the importance of participation: “The competition demonstrated that our engineers are ready to work at the level of the country’s leading teams. The preparation took place alongside the plant’s main tasks, and this confirmed that digital tools and practical experience help to find solutions before production launch.”
