The vf-OS Hackathon, that will take place from the 9th to the 12th of September at the University of Minho, Portugal, is an event organized to demonstrate and put to test the latest technologies provided by the vf-OS project to develop Industry 4.0 applications. It creates a collaborative environment, putting together students, software developers and the project team working together, to develop a set of vApps to address real life problems of industrial SMEs.
The participants of the Hackathon will be using technologies such as industrial IoT, machine learning or big data analytics to provide solutions for predictive maintenance, optimization of stocks, collaborative design or quality control, among others. The best team will receive € 3,000; for the second qualifier the prize is € 1,500 and the third place wins € 750. There will still be a prize for the 10 places of honor worth 300 euros. Winners will also have the opportunity to present their vApp solution to the industrial community.
The Virtual Factory Operating System is a EU H2020 project addressing the ‘Digital Automation’ objective. The target is to develop the "operating system" of the connected factory of the future and to integrate better manufacturing and logistics processes of Industry 4.0, through platforms that enable and optimise communication and collaboration among supply networks, enterprises, machines and objects.
The vf-OS Open Platform exploits advanced ICT to allow manufacturing companies a fast way to develop and deploy smart applications (vApps) for manufacturing and logistics processes. These vApps are applications specially developed for solving particular industrial needs and are akin to Android mobile Apps but in an industrial setting. Hence, integrating several pre-defined vf-OS services, vApps can quickly support a number of industry 4.0 user scenarios.
