Revolutionary ideas and innovations
A look back at the HM.prototype.club at HANNOVER MESSE 2023
The HM.prototype.club 2023 was an impressive showcase for the future of the industry. Under the motto „Transforming Industry Together“, software developers, startups and young talents gathered to develop outstanding prototypes and business models as part of a professional innovation competition. What made this event so special was the combination of a virtual start-up competition and physical „live coding“ throughout the event.
The Siemens Energy Challenge: On the hunt for innovations
Siemens Energy set the participants the challenging task of developing a solution for „Remote Offline Asset Localisation and Tracking for Ground Robots“. The challenge was to design a concept for an offline AR navigation app that could act as a „brain“ for robots.
Let’s take a closer look at the details of the challenge and the creative approaches of the participants.
14 days, 6 focus areas: The creative sprint
Over a period of 14 days, the participants worked intensively on their solutions. The focus areas, including energy management, industrial wireless, artificial intelligence & machine learning, CO2-neutral production, Industry 4.0 and hydrogen & fuel cells, reflected the diversity and relevance of industrial innovations.
Infinite Foundry: The winner with a 3D digital plant platform
Among the impressive solutions, Infinite Foundry stood out. Their innovative approach to improving production efficiency through a 3D digital plant platform not only impressed the jury, but also shows the potential of startups shaping the future of industry. Congratulations!
From concept to reality: the path to a paid pilot project
Infinite Foundry not only won the competition, but was also given the opportunity to validate their solution in a paid pilot project with Siemens Energy. This illustrates the real-world applicability of the ideas created at HM.prototype.club.
