“Tire2Tire” uses video machine learning
to check the health and efficiency of truck tires
Paris, July 8 2021 – Atos, a
global leader in digital transformation, today announces the
winners of its international student competition, the Atos IT
Challenge. The 3 winning teams were presented with their awards
yesterday during the Ceremony which took place during the Atos
Technology Days.
Now in its tenth year, the competition saw 144
teams from 28 countries around the world compete on the theme:
“How can Digital Decarbonize
Non-Digital?”.
The goal of the challenge is to develop digital
solutions that will support multiple areas of decarbonization and
decarbonization initiatives, helping companies and society to
tackle climate change. The teams had to develop a functioning
application, mobile app, service, or simulation to support
industry, commerce, or individuals in the drive for
decarbonization.
After an initial first round in which 15 teams
were selected, the Atos IT Challenge Jury, made up of experts and
Atos executives1, chose three finalists. These are:
- 1st prize and competition winner: Polytechnic
University of Bucharest, Romania
Tire2Tire is a hardware device that helps truck
drivers to reduce the amount of fossil fuel used improperly and
minimize the carbon emissions of their vehicles. By using a machine
learning algorithm, Tire2Tire catalogs the viability of truck tires
and sends the data to truck fleet managers, responsible for their
maintenance. The team won €10,000.
- 2nd prize: Fh Südwestfahlen, Germany
GreenList is a mobile application-based smart
shopping list that simplifies grocery shopping and contributes to
CO2 emission reduction in the food industry. The application
empowers consumers to choose the most sustainable products for
their money. As a result, the demand for climate-friendly products
increases, which in turn decreases CO2 emissions. The team won
€5,000.
- 3rd prize: Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne,
France
green'it is a mobile application that connects
users to a network of enterprises which are verified to be
committed to sustainable consumption, as well as to a range of
green associations that are looking for help in environment
protection activities. The team won €3,000.
Each student in each of the three teams was
offered the opportunity to do either an internship at Atos or to
work together with the company to develop their project.
- Special Prize: German University in Cairo,
Egypt
BeatTheReceipt uses the latest technologies to
find an alternative process to printing receipts. It digitalizes
the process of printing receipts by generating QR codes that
redirect the customer to his receipt when scanning the QR code.
Commenting on these results, Sophie
Proust, Group Chief Technical Officer, Atos said:
“Congratulations to our winners and to all of our contestants! I am
so impressed by the outstanding creativity and the quality of the
contributions of this tenth edition. Decarbonization is key when it
comes to digital technologies, it’s also at the core of Atos’
strategy, and we’re very proud to encourage the new generation to
contribute to a more sustainable world”.
Atos also revealed the theme for the IT
Challenge 2022: “To the Moon… to Mars… and to the
stars”. Next year’s participating teams will have to
explore how data can be used from space within digital data driven
ecosystems to advance humanity’s progress, both in space and on
Earth.
Since its creation in 2012, the Atos IT
Challenge has empowered students from around the world to
develop applications connected to major trends in the digital
revolution, such as smart mobility, connected cars, interactive
media, connected life, the “right to be forgotten”, blockchain and
artificial intelligence. Students are mentored by members of Atos
Scientific Community who provide technical and practical support,
advice, and encouragement.
