Bosch Hackathon

30. & 31. Mai | Triangel Open Space

Join us for the Hack IT #LikeABosch hackathon on 30th and 31st of May!

Bosch invites you to work together with employees on a creative solution for exciting use cases in the field of programming.

Work on one of the following use cases and find a solution together with your team:

Use Case Description Required skills
Track & Trace – Estimated-Time-Of-Arrival Prototype

“Track & Trace” is the global Bosch platform to provide real-time status tracking information for transports to our own plants and external customers – like known from the private sector when waiting for your parcel delivered by e.g. DHL.

Knowing the estimated time of arrival (“ETA”) of any transport is the most crucial information we want to provide to our users.

Unfortunately we do not get always such information from our carriers – in this hackathon we want to develop and test potential algorithms to calculate the ETA with you. Either on historical data, using other external sources for transport forecasts (e.g. Google Maps API,…) or similar

 - Coding: Preferrable Python experience, other possible (Java, C++)
- Data Analysis / Science Libraries (for handling of larger amounts of data)
- Experience with Rest APIs (e.g. Google Maps)
 
Cloud Service for AI-based Prediction of Invoice Payments Creating an end-to-end cloud service to predict if customer invoices will be paid in time or after the due date. Therefore, an existing stand-alone ML model will be re-used and migrated to the Azure cloud
Unlimited options: using the wide range of different products, technologies and frameworks of the Azure cloud to build a sophisticated service
Resources provided by Bosch for the use case
Existing ML model: guided tutorial for re-building the ML model in R / Python 
Data: extract of (anonymized) SAP accounting data 
Access to Azure Cloud
 		 - Basic Knowledge: 
    - Cloud Engineering (Cloud Computing & Storage, Docker Container etc.) 
    - Azure Cloud Services
- Practical Experience & Advanced Knowledge (but not necessarily 'Expert'): 
    - Coding in Python 
 
Rapid Data Insights and ML Prototyping One main roadblock for analytics use cases is quickly evaluating the potential and feasibility of ideas. The goal of this use case is to provide generic python code for descriptive analyses as well as generic machine learning models, and to integrate it into a Power BI frontend. Target group for the frontend are data analysts with high data proficiency, but without coding or machine learning experience.
Technology: Python, Power BI, SSAS
Data: SSAS Sourcing cube, including most relevant data from direct purchasing @ Bosch
 		 Basic Knowledge: 
- Power BI
- Python
- Data Visualization
- Machine Learning
 
PDF Orders Automation and Data Enrichment Bosch is trying to get rid of the manual work in the ordering process. One of the most difficult case for the automation are the free text orders, these orders are PDFs without a clear structure.
To create the order, Bosch needs to compare if the information contained in the PDF is the same as the information saved in our systems and this is a process with a lot of manual effort.
Thanks to an OCR Solution, we have been able to automatically extract all the relevant fields and now we need you to analyze and compare both data sources, finding the % that can be fully automated and understand and classify the ones that cannot be automated directly. Furthermore, we need you to think on one side how we can improve the automation, in the other, how can the information of the PDFs enrich the Data that we have an bring value
 		   -Basic Knowledge: Power BI 
  -Advanced Knowledge: Python for Data Analysis
 
AI Analysis of Free-text Comments We receive free-text feedback comments in our annual customer surveys. These comments shall be analyzed and clustered using deep machine learning. In addition, the retrieved data (comments & generic survey data) shall be transferred automatically from an xls/csv-file to a PowerBI-Dashboard. none specific
