Innovation that move
From Vision to Reality: How we drive Innovation
Smart Systems & AI-Driven Optimization
3D Digital Twins → Offline localization
Siemens Energy needed to improve navigation in complex industrial environments—but where to start? Together with Infinite Foundry, winner of HM.prototype.club 2023, they developed a digital twin to power an offline navigation software that runs on any smartphone or tablet without internet, GPS, or external hardware.
AI-driven water management → From data to sustainability
Water is a critical resource in dairy production, but how can its use be optimized? The GEA Challenge, leveraged AI to create dynamic water stress maps and smart categorization systems, helping manufacturers track, reuse, and reduce water consumption for a more sustainable future. GEA selected OmegaLambdaTec for implementation based on their winning prototype.
Human-Machine Interaction → Smarter Harvest Logistics
How can autonomous and manned machines work together seamlessly?
OmegaLambdaTec developed a simulation-based optimization system that dynamically adjusts machine routes and logistics for the AGCO Challenge.
By integrating real-time data, field conditions, and automation levels, their solution optimizes efficiency, costs, and environmental impact. Within just three months, the prototype was successfully implemented.
UX & Human-Centered Technology
Engaging the Energy Future → Communication Meets Gamification
How do you make complex energy systems accessible and engaging? For the TransnetBW Challenge, a communication strategy was developed, combining a dedicated website and gamification elements to bring DA/RE to life.
3D Visualization & Interaction → The Smart Cockpit for Future Farming
How can the tractor cabin become an intuitive control center? The CLAAS Challenge explored new UX/UI concepts to make complex field data easily accessible and interactive.
Lumos won with its 3D visualization approach, combining real-time data display with new interaction methods.
Industrial Tech & Mobility Innovations
AI-Powered image recognition → Smarter vision for roads and farms
How can AI-driven image recognition revolutionize mobility and farming?
The DLR Challenge set out to make vehicle detection on the A39 highway more precise. With AI-powered image recognition, participants developed solutions to track and localize moving vehicles in real time. ANavS impressed with its high-precision approach and was selected for implementation.
The Fraunhofer Challenge took AI beyond the road—exploring how computer vision can optimize daylight use for animal-friendly perches. Vetvise delivered the winning solution and was commissioned for deployment.
Health tech & HMI → Safer roads through driver’s mood & health detection
Monitoring driver health in real time—how can technology prevent accidents and enhance road safety? 7 startups presented their ideas to Daimler Truck. Two startups were commissioned: Nuverse to develop an advanced app for measuring and analyzing driver health data, and Proband15 to conduct research on driver acceptance and usability, ensuring the technology aligns with real-world needs.
