UPM participated a hackathon for the first time, and we had Tieto and IBM supporting us with the challenge. The experience was brilliant and the hackers came up with plenty of valuable and executable solutions. The winner of UPM’s track was project FindMyPaperRoll that presented a mobile solution for tracking paper deliveries.
“We were most interested in the IoT track from the beginning. We are Industrial engineering management students, so we are on the way of becoming Supply Chain Management experts, therefore we preferred UPM’s case to the others”, explains the winning team.
The second prize went to IOG Scouts presenting a solution to the same challenge with a different approach. The third prize went to team KUPI that was tackling the data analysis challenge.
