Oerlikon Digital Hub Hackathon

Oerlikon Digital Hub Hackathon

Munich (Feldkirchen), Germany

We had an amazing time, thank you for being part of our first Hackathon!

Creators, innovators, makers, PIONEERS – looking for a place to test new technologies and build real things, meet inspiring people and make an impact? Look no further. Our Digital Hub in Munich is the place to be between November 08 – 10. Get ready for an intense weekend of designing digital tools for industrial world. Come and revolutionize processes in the surface coating, production environment and additive manufacturing fields.

If you are a Data Scientist, Electrical Engineer, IoT Architect, Mechanical Engineer, UI/UX Designer, Process Engineer, Coder, Programmer, Developer, Software Engineer, or just passionate about Business Excellence, we have some cool challenges for you to work on in 24 hours, and even cooler prizes to win (ever considered exchanging your bedroom with an igloo?). Be a #digitalpiOEneer

Our hackathon is free of charge and we provide free transport with our shuttle bus from, and return to Ostbahnhof station in Munich (check time schedule and location in agenda below).

The event will be held in English and there is over night stay possibility for Saturday to Sunday night only.

What's the plan?

The goal is to make the processes in the industry more sustainable and safe – reduce material waste and energy consumption. We have prepared four challenges, with focus on IoT, Computer Vision, Data Science. They include data captured from real processes on our machines (we produce some of the most “chatty” machines out there). So, are you ready to make our service technician’s life easier with the right machine data? Help them visualize steps in the processes like never before? Shine a light in the data darkness? Predict and optimize behavior of tools and surfaces, reduce waste? We know you are. Come and show us what you’ve got.

Digitalization doesn’t happen alone, it takes a team of innovators. That’s why we are partnering with the biggest tech players out there that will bring the latest tools and technologies for you to experiment with. Also, our mentors are experts on the actual physical processes and will be guiding you during the Hackathon. You will join a team and work on a software or hardware project.  And in the end, you will get to pitch in front of industry experts.

What's in it for you?

  • Test and learn new methods
  • Build actual things at @Maker Space
  • Solve real industry 4.0 challenges
  • Get mentored by experts
  • Grow your network
  • Pitch in front of our partners
