\u201cTell me all about it, Ayala!\u201d I said. <\/P>
In Pune, we\u2019ve got about 80 software developers, who fielded 13 teams! Thanks to the dedicated efforts of Nikhil Kelkar, the site manager, together with the facility and IT managers, the Hackathon area was successfully set up in the 5th floor gym over a two-day period.All the modern exercise equipment was pushed to the edges of the large space, and tables, chairs and computers were hauled up to the well-lit, open floor.<\/P>
<\/P>
And it didn\u2019t take too long before everything was set up, hooked up and ready for: Siemens PLM Hackathon \u2013 Pune!<\/P>
Below is a list of some of the inventive, disruptive projects successfully launched by the Pune teams:<\/P>
- Work instructions delivered to factory floor workers using mobile technology based image recognition in the manufacturing facility.<\/LI>
- Intelligent interpretation of users\u2019 frequently repeated tasks, transforming them into business rules. Teamcenter will \u201cpick up\u201d on these usage patterns, learning from them and then be able to automatically guide users. It will give expert help in decision making during manufacturing planning and verification.
<\/LI>
- Build speech recognition into Teamcenter so that it runs functionality based on commands that the user says aloud (e.g., \u201cAdd location\u201d, \u201cClone\u201d, \u201cConfigure variant\u201d). Anyone remember \u201chis master\u2019s voice\u201d?<\/LI>
- A utility that saves developers all the steps of creating a new baseline to work in a fresh development environment. The Configuration Management administrator sends an email to the R&D folks, and all they do is open it on their machines. That launches a set of batch scripts that automatically download the new baseline and set up the environment on each machine. Nifty, and very Agile!

Nikhil, the site manager, summed up their Hackathon this way, \u201cThe buzz that our event created across the Pune R&D group was very encouraging \u2013 you can see that our young Manufacturing team is really bustling with energy and creativity! This was an excellent platform to stimulate that much needed enthusiasm to bring up and prove new ideas.\u201d He further added, \u201cZvi Feuer\u2019s (SVP of Manufacturing Software Solutions at Siemens PLM Software) push for disruptive innovation<\/A> is showing results and you\u2019ll see more of this here in Pune R&D going forward. I believe the next step is to generate collaboration spaces that go beyond the regular domain boundaries. And by the way, it was tough to pick one winner – I saw everyone win that day!\u201d<\/P>
