    #1 Supply Chain Resilience — For full shelves, anytime


    Migros

    The aim of the challenge is for you to firstly devise a pilot system that draws on data from public sources to detect natural-catastrophe risks and political/socio-economic risks and secondly perform mapping with the data from the procurement orders.

    The Migros Group procures goods worth billions of Swiss francs globally and plays an important part in ensuring a reliable supply for the Swiss population. It does so through hundreds of thousands of procurement orders, ensuring transparent forwarding of the goods to the national distribution centres by sea freight, truck or train before these goods are then distributed to the stores.…

    The Migros Group procures goods worth billions of Swiss francs globally and plays an important part in ensuring a reliable supply for the Swiss population. It does so through hundreds of thousands of procurement orders, ensuring transparent forwarding of the goods to the national distribution centres by sea freight, truck or train before these goods are then distributed to the stores. This process is now depicted in a digital twin, which guarantees visibility of the supply chain at all times and, on top of Track & Trace, includes additional functions such as automatic calculation of CO2 emissions. The data behind this is a valuable resource for operational risk management and for safeguarding and managing the supply chain. With your help, we want to use this wealth of data to make our supply chain more resilient.

    Institutions and companies from various industries are planning to use tokens for a variety of consumer-oriented use cases and applications As Tokens have to be publicly available certain regulatory requirements have to be met to issue and use a token. Tokenomics (supply, distribution, verification) are essential factors that need to be considered and specifically planned. End consumers require an easy access point and additional value (time, value, social, status) when using the token. Hackers can choose from one of two provided scenarios:

    AXA – Impact Token
    A token is used for positive societal behavior and can be used for services, products, and discounts.

    Flughafen ZH – Paperless Customer Journey at Airport
    A token is used to provide a paperless process when moving through various checks at a real-world Greenfield airport plan for the Noida International Airport in India.

    The solution will be developed using the Casper protocol and technology.

    Join our preliminary training and introduction sessions to the technology and solution space. Sessions will be held by Casper experts on the following two occasions:

    • Wednesday 07 Sep (5 pm CEST)
    • Tuesday 13 Sep (4 pm CEST)

Additionally, insights can be derived like energy consumption or trustworthiness.

    It is very difficult for consumers to identify the issuer of a token’s smart contract and link the identity of the actual issuer. At the same time, the usage of wallets, tokens, and other digital tools is being scrutinized for their CO2 footprint and environmental impact. While neither origin nor environmental impact…

Additionally, insights can be derived like energy consumption or trustworthiness.

    It is very difficult for consumers to identify the issuer of a token’s smart contract and link the identity of the actual issuer. At the same time, the usage of wallets, tokens, and other digital tools is being scrutinized for their CO2 footprint and environmental impact. While neither origin nor environmental impact can be listed, it is for consumers increasingly difficult to asses and decides. End-consumers need to have a way to easily use tokens across chains without losing the essence of the smart contracts

    1. Siemens – CO2 Footprint of NFTs
    A solution that provides exact details about the CO2 footprint of the minting of a tokens/NFT. The footprint will be based on a set of pre-defined chain performance indicators.

    2. Richemont – Token/NFT Provenance Analysis
    Create an easy-to-handle tool that can provide information about the origin, details, and issuer of any token/NFT, which acts as certification and confirmation of authenticity. The tool is targeted for the average end-consumer and only publicly available data and information is used for the confirmation.

    The solution will be developed using the Velas protocol and technology.

    Join our preliminary training and introduction sessions to the technology and solution space. Sessions will be provided in 2 separate slots before the start of the hack. To get further details and information view sbhack.trustsquare.ch/sbhack22-velas-challenge.

    Railway operators require a minimal clearance outline - that is the area around the tracks that needs to be clear of any obstacles so that trains do not hit anything while running on those tracks. When our field technicians install new equipment along the tracks, they have to make sure to respect that clearance area - a tedious and manual task up to now! We challenge you to create an AR smartphone app that augments the clearance outline into the camera footage of our technicians, digitizing their work. If this is not a challenge for you, feel free to add obstacle recognition and real-time data processing to the app. We provide video footage from our technicians ready to be used in your solution to our challenge. In our workshop, we will show you how to get started with AR using that data and make tools available to facilitate your start into our challenge. We look forward to working with you at HackZurich 2022!

    #7 From Paper to 4D Buildings

    Siemens

    Though much data is available for most buildings today, the fundamental building data, the floorplans, is only available on paper for the majority existing buildings. Build a 3D model from floorplans, pump it up with data and visualize it real time.

    The older a building is the less likely it is that the building model is available in a digital format (CAD). In contrast, floorplans on paper are almost always available. This leads to the issue that available data from a building, be it from the past, from the present or even forecasted data of the future, can’t easily be…

    The older a building is the less likely it is that the building model is available in a digital format (CAD). In contrast, floorplans on paper are almost always available. This leads to the issue that available data from a building, be it from the past, from the present or even forecasted data of the future, can’t easily be visualized in the context of the building. Let’s change this! Combine 2D floorplans as PDFs with building data we already have (sensors and actuators, setpoints, meters, weather data, …) and create stunning visualizations. Consider leaving the 2D space and going 3D. Visualize it real time or let users travel to the past or even to the future! Give users an overview of what’s going on, show events or possible issues or let them deep dive to get the insights if needed. Visit hackzurich.siemens.cool for further details.

Sustainable water is a global strategic priority – one that requires a greater focus on reducing waste, purifying and reusing our most precious commodity. By combining the right technology and services with behavioral change, the global community can drive sustainable progress.

    One key to changing the public’s water habits is increasing awareness of water threats – and what each of us can do in our daily lives to make a difference. It’s critical to educate people about best practices in water use and management, and encourage a mind shift to help people value this precious resource that many have taken for granted for far too long.
