Convenient location of goods and their presentable appearance play an important role in attracting customers. To make the choice the most comfortable, companies use “eye-tracking” technologies. Programmers from Perm Polytech  have created glasses based on neural network algorithms that will allow you to find out which products and interfaces attract visitors the most. The product will help to get a complete picture of the client's behavior and will be cheaper than analogues by about 10 times, according to the developers.

Complex technological facilities are often used in industrial enterprises. To ensure their effective operation, specialists conduct tests using mathematical models. Scientists of Perm Polytech  for the first time created a software package that will optimize the energy supply system and reduce the costs of companies. The developers published the first results of the study in the Journal of Physics: Conference Series. Scientists performed it as part of the state task of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation. The development was also implemented with the support of the Perm Region and the Russian Foundation for Basic Research.

Young researchers from Perm Polytech have developed an automated system for protecting premises. Artificial intelligence and biometric access will provide “smart” access to the building and save enterprises’ money.

A study by developers from Perm Polytech will increase the strength of metal products by more than 30%. A complex of tools and a special program that will select the optimal surface treatment modes will help to strengthen responsible structures. The development can be used in the field of mechanical engineering and aircraft engineering. There are no domestic analogues of the complex yet.

More than 850 thousand tons of rubber-based waste are generated in Russia annually. Scientists of the Perm Polytech University have developed a method for recycling waste automobile tires, which will help to obtain heat and electrical energy. The gases generated by the incineration of waste will help purify the molecular sieves in a dedicated unit. The new technology will lower energy costs and decrease environmental pollution.

Young researchers from the Perm Polytech Uniwersity proposed a model of a device that will help to find a lost person in the natural environment. The development will increase the efficiency when searching through the terrain.

Scientists from the Perm Polytech University and the Merseburg University of Applied Sciences (Germany) have found out how various scenarios for modernizing the municipal solid waste management system in Russia can contribute to climate change mitigation. The model developed by the researchers identified the optimal MSW management actions that would help reduce greenhouse gases.

The threat of dangerous strains of bacteria spreading, which can be found in hospitals is constantly growing. Many types of staphylococci develop antibiotic resistance and can cause disease in humans. Scientists from the Perm Polytech University, the Institute of Ecology and Genetics of Microorganisms and the Institute of Technical Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences Ural Branch have obtained a new antibacterial compound that can effectively fight microorganisms.

Sounds from airliners are harmful to the environment. Therefore, the standards for noise on the ground of the International Civil Aviation Organization (specialized agency of the United Nations) are regularly tightened, and failure to comply with them threatens air carriers with large fines. Now Russia does not have its own civil aircraft certified according to the new requirements. Perm Polytech scientists have developed a technology that will reduce the noise level of airliners and ensure the competitiveness of the Russian Federation. For the first time in world practice, they modeled processes in multilayer sound-absorbing structures, taking into account the conditions occurring in real aircraft engines.
