Bringing together fascinating technologies with unlimited possibilities
How can fascinating technology be used in business and industry processes? That is one topic hackathon Partner NTTData is dealing with. They offer methods and tools to integrate Generative AI into the business world – and make this world more efficient and productive. It is up to the hackathon participants to develop ideas for real AI use cases.
The same goes for the machinery environment where AI-driven solutions can have a huge impact. As industries get more automated and machinery gets smarter, there's an increasing demand for real-time diagnostics tools. An intelligent system that understands natural language can make it easier for operators to get quick insights about the state of their machinery. How about an AI assistant that allows users to inquire about the status of their machine? The ctrlX Core industrial controller from Bosch Rexroth is one great approach to do this.
5G is a powerful technology – and makes a lot of things possible we could not have thought of years ago: autonomous logistics, predictive maintenance, connected workers. Ericsson is bringing all its 5G expertise to the hackathon. 5G connected sensors can, for example,collect data such as vibration and temperature and even enable smart asset maintenance by predicting failure or calculating remaining asset life. Quite a lot of possibilities for all hackathon participants to think about new solutions with the help of a 5G network!
Mobile robots and vehicles are becoming more and more popular and are used in many different environments. The safe and useful interaction of them with single persons or a group of people is still, however, challenging. Xitaso, recognized as experts in IT and software, showcase their mobile robot platform, EvoRobot. Supported by safety laser scanners and 3D LiDAR technology from SICK, they offer our participants the tools to tackle the challenge: make it move and make it safe.
On top of that Safelog will have its AGVs and mobile vehicles on-site to provide hands-on possibilities to master the make it move challenge.
Whats true for the case for mobile robots is true for (stationary) cobots as well. Together with ABB, one of the world's leading robotics and machine automation suppliers, and Robominds with its Robobrain technology, many challenges surrounding robots can be addressed
And what about combining mobile robots with cobots to develop a specific use case? The hackathon participants can give free rein to their imagination.
Bosch features its Digital Twin Registry, essentially a directory for digital twins. Userlike introduces its live chat technology, while Continum presents cloud hosting opportunities. And of course, your host SICK offers solutions in RFID, machine vision, edge computing, cloud computing, safety, and localization. The possibilities for participants to explore are virtually endless.
All uses cases at the SICK Solution Hackathon belong to the following challenges:
