Challenges solved at Hinterland Hack 2022

Intelligent energy management system for an optimal use of renewable energy

Develop an energy management system that intelligently combines our operations and the consumption of renewable energy. Take into consideration when electricity is needed and at what point it is best to produce using renewable energy. Come up with a solution to forecast energy consumption in the production, facility and logistic management to combine ecology and economic factors.

From matching algorithm to dream job in a technology company – How can a skill-based fit of job profile and candidate be achieved with the help of AI?

We are looking for a self-learning solution that enables us to match the skills and interests of candidates/(potential) applicants with our jobs in such a way that we use the skills and competencies in the right place/at the right time/at the right position. Develop a skill-based matchmaking solution and help us to revolutionize the application process.

Build a group-wide knowledge management platform which fosters collaboration with employees that do not have a digital company affiliation

This challenge has two parts. First to build a solution for the digital affiliation of the employees in the production plants and secondly the development of a knowledge management platform that bundles and constantly expands all the knowledge of the group. Keep in mind that we are an international group with different cultural backgrounds, coming from a very traditional environment, and are only at the beginning of a deep cultural change.

Help 20% of the german adult population to understand their risks as pre-diabetics and guide them to healthy habits reducing the risk of medical interventions for type 2 diabetics.

Prototype a scalable solution for that moment a patient is diagnosed with pre-diabetes.
How can you solve the uncertainty, gain trust and deliver guidance towards a potential cure by adapting to healthy habits in daily life?

Build an interactive collaboration platform for construction sites.

GOLDBECK employees want to be able to manage, describe and assign tasks together in an agile manner. In addition, everyone should be able to access the same plans, enable daily routines, oversee the status of work and manage subcontractors. The solutions should provide users with open work packages (backlog) and their current status. Feedback and a satisfaction scale for subcontractors should also be clearly visible to all project participants.

Expansion of after-market activities of medium-sized manufacturers

Increasing product demands and a lack of global resources for the provision of after-market services pose challenges for medium-sized manufacturers in particular. Support must be provided along the entire product life cycle. A suitable solution should also take into account the differentiation from the competition as a component supplier.

Develop a digital shopping solution for prescription drugs

Build a solution to minimise the current breaks in the patient journey. How can a digital solution for patients/customers look like that enables the steps „attention“, „doctor’s appointment“, „doctor’s visit“, „prescription dispensing“ and „pharmacy purchase“ to merge as uniformly & efficiently as possible?
