Inspiration
This challenge appeared as the freshest and most modulable of those proposed and immediately struck a cord in our creative vein.
What it does
Giving potential customers a hands-on experience when ordering a made-to-order data centre.
How we built it
We developed a full stack Java program with an embedded OpenCV.
Challenges we ran into
We had quite a few problems setting-up a MongoDB database, we also had to put ourselves to speed on Java.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were capable of developping a commercial grade idea, a roadmap with multiple features and a program that works as intended, and all of that in just 36 hours and a limited technical stack, even if further improvements are possible.
What we learned
This challenge was a great learning experience, since working intensely on one project and to be able to present something even only half-finished but nourished with creative ideas comes with a certain sense of humility.
What's next for DcSim
Hopefully we were able to inspire Siemens Energy (or for that matter any other Sponsors or hackers) to apply some of our ideas.
