SICK Solution Hackathon

SICK SOLUTION HACKATHON IN OCTOBER 2022 IN GERMANY

How will products and goods be transported in the future? How can we produce in a more resource-efficient way? How can we visualize data better, and thus simplify our everyday lives and our work? These were the questions that 24 teams at SICK Solution Hackathon asked themselves, questioning boundaries and turning science fiction into science facts. The young developers were supported by so-called Hack Coaches – experienced developers from participating companies, such as SICK, SAP, Bosch Rexroth, Trumpf, NTT Data, and many others.
