HACKATHON 21-22
a joint initiative by iPe & BIT SINDRI

iPe in collaboration with Department of Production & Industrial Engineering and E-Cell, BIT Sindri will be hosting Hackathon 2021-22, where participants (students and professionals) will develop new and innovative solutions using Digital Engineering around three major challenges faced by the integrated steel plants of India in Iron-making area.

The Hackathon will be held in two phases

In the first phase, the participants will generate ideas to address those challenges. These ideas/ projects will be scrutinized and short-listed by suitably constituted expert panel based on impact and implementation (ease and cost). In the second phase, the participants will be required to develop the selected ideas into business case.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of the Hackathon 2021-22 is to generate the best ideas and create new solutions using digital engineering tools for attaining Benchmark Sustainable and Profitable Operational Practices in the area of Iron Making for Indian Integrated Steel Plants.

Sustainable and Profitable Solutions for Energy and Environment Issues

- Iron-making area contributes to maximum energy consumption and environmental load. Indian ironmaking with available raw material makes it even more challenging. The participants should generate ideas using digital engineering to address this issue.

Capital Efficiency

Generally, Iron-making industry needs huge capital with long and uncertain gestation period, impacting business viability. Digital engineering enabled ideas are being sought to minimise total cost of ownership and thus improving capital efficiency.

Benchmark Operations Practices

Iron-making process, because of inherent complexity and raw material quality, often do not attain benchmark performance, which impacts predictability and cost of production. Digital engineering enabled ideas / projects are to be developed to improve performance indices for cost competitiveness.
