Digitalization Day featured a series of meetings, speeches, discussions and educational events dedicated to the role of digitalization in people's lives, business and government. The Digitalization Day program was divided into several theme blocks - business, educational track, thematic exhibitions at the region stands and a show featuring Internet celebrities. The expo visitors were able to learn about digital innovations and achievements of Russian IT and telecom companies, hear the success stories of market leaders and mobile application developers, take part in theme discussions, and visit master‑classes.
Each region presented its digital solutions, innovations and achievements. The Tomsk region presented three digital projects including the PROGRESS software system by TPU scientists.
PROGRESS is a platform for modeling secondary refining processes, generating rigorous engineering models and plant digital twins. The results of engineering model calculations are verified jointly with industrial partners. Such cooperation helps reduce the costs of the software system integration into the operational activities of the oil refining complex.
The potential users of the solution include refineries, scientific and educational organizations. PROGRESS program complex is similar to its world analogs and surpasses them in terms of prognostic potential. Its authors are working to expand the modules, i.e. mathematical models of oil refining technological processes.
The development of PC PROGRESS allows to effectively solve new tasks associated with engineering support of secondary oil refining units on the basis of comparison and predictive analysis of catalysts efficiency.
In addition, the software complex is currently being integrated into the educational process of bachelor's and master program students pursuing degrees in Chemical Technology at Tomsk Polytechnic University.
