Konecranes Hackathon event ended successfully on Sunday February 7, 2015. After an intense weekend, the teams presented their work to the jury and among the many excellent suggestions, team Valuemotive were the winners. The winning team’s suggestion focused on the customers’ challenges and included integration of ERP systems and crane operation. Team Valuemotive consisted of Kristian Ovaska and Marko Laakso. “The teams presented several good and usable ideas and it was not easy to pick the winner,” says Juha Pankakoski, Chief Digital Officer of Konecranes. “The jury, however, felt that the winning teams’ suggestion was very well-through-out and has a lot of development potential.” “Overall, productization of the presented concepts needs additional work, like all innovations do,” Mr Pankakoski continues. “Further cooperation with teams participating in the Hackathon is being evaluated.” The main idea of the Hackathon event was to experiment and find new possibilities around Industrial Internet by combining the knowhow of a leading crane manufacturer and talented ICT experts, and to get people excited around the Industrial Internet. This is a new way of working, getting new ideas and fast testing.
