45 IoT solutions created at the Intel® IoT Roadshow in Bengaluru

The winner, DriveAlert, created a smart IoT enabled solution to prevent mishaps due to drowsy driving/ flying and enhancing driver efficiency using their driving data. The solution will not only help detect drowsy driving but also improve driver’s efficiency by using the captured data. The device will capture behavior patterns of the driver and his interaction with the components of the vehicle. This gathered data will be then used to give the driver a feedback, in turn improving his efficiency.

Other notable projects that made it to the top were SipUp and Evolve followed by IOT Pet Feeder, Enigma – Intel-i-Drone and Intelligent Door/Box. The judging panel was a mix of Industry experts’ journalists and members from  Intel  team.

Commenting on success of the road-show, Narendra Bhandari – Director, APJ, Intel Software and Services Group – Developer Relations Division said, “IoT is a huge opportunity and software plays a key role as a catalyst in enabling smarter solutions. The Intel® IoT Roadshow provides young and enthusiastic makers and hobbyists with a platform to demonstrate their creativity using Intel® Edison boards.  This year we saw a lot of out-of-box innovations and interesting solutions by young entrepreneurs. Intel will continue to invest in such efforts to nurture the local ecosystem and encourage local makers and entrepreneurs to innovate and contribute to the Digital India vision of the government.”

Last year, the Intel® IoT Roadshow had a total participation of 130 makers from across India creating 43 solutions.  The winning team at the Intel® IoT Roadshow, iAquadesk, created a smart IoT enabled aquaculture solution using the principles of Aquaponics. The solution took advantage of the Intel® IOT Developer kit, which is a combination of sensors, software tools, and cloud infrastructure to enable a self-sustaining and ecofriendly solution.

Intel provides a cloud-based analytics system for the Internet-of-Things (IoT) that includes resources for the collection and analysis of sensor data that the Intel® IoT Developer Kit provides. Using this service, the Intel® Edison platform device developers can jump-start data acquisition and analysis without having to invest in large-scale storage and processing capacity.  The Intel® Edison platform is a solution designed to lower the barriers to entry for quick prototyping and productizing the connected computing devices driving the next industrial revolution.  This wave of connected devices will be a diversified collection of products invented for specific consumers and consumer needs. Intel® Edison technology was designed specifically for the creators of these devices—emerging entrepreneurs eager to invent the future.  It combines a small, powerful, adaptable hardware platform and partner-enabled ecosystem with extended software compatibility and supportive online environment.

Intel is hosting 20 Intel® IoT Roadshows for maker communities in cities across US, Europe, South America and Asia. This two-day hackathon is open to all including makers, IoT startups, developers, students and hardware novices. The participants will get a free Intel® IoT Developer Kit which will include an Intel® development board. The Dev-kit is based on Intel® architecture and designed to be hardware and software pin-compatible with Arduino. It is also well-equipped with sensors, software and accessories to stimulate one’s creativity.
