What an experience it was. We got to see many interesting prototypes using sensors and SAP HANA Cloud Platform Internet of Things Services. Here is the quick recap of the overall experience: Hackaday was organized by Aaron Williams at SAP dshop on February 22, 2016. Around 40 people participated including SAP mentors, SAP employees and a couple of cheerful and bright kids as well. The event started with a session on SAP HANA Cloud Platform IoT services presented by my colleague WeiWei Lin from the SAP HANA Cloud Platform Product Management team. She explained what IoT Services are, what the typical use cases are, and then demonstrated how to get started with these services in the HANA Cloud Platform Cockpit. Then Nethaji Tummuru from the SAP Innovation Center team talked about some inspiring ideas including different possibilities for developing demos using IoT Services and how they have built some innovative demos in their organization. After that, participants were split into 8 teams. Each team had been supplied with multiple different sensors for monitoring things like pressure, heart rate, and temperature. During the next 45 hours, teams had to build some prototypes using these sensors, HCP IoT Services and Fiori UI. At around 4 PM, we started with the final presentations. Here I would like to show some of the cool ideas that won prizes in this hackathon: 1. Smart Chair: The idea behind this demo was to keep people active during their work hours and avoid the situation where they keep sitting on chair for long hours. In this project, the team attached some sensors to the chair that would continuously send data to HCP via IoT Services. There was a threshold level set for how many minutes person can continuously sit on the chair that once it was reached, will cause a vibration notification to be sent to alert person on the chair that he or she had been sitting too long and now it’s time to get up and away from the desk and do some other activity.

Wow. What an experience it was. We got to see many interesting prototypes using sensors and SAP HANACloud Platform Internet of Things Services. Here is the quick recap of the overall experience: Hackaday was organized by  Aaron Williams at SAP dshop on February 22, 2016. Around 40 peopleparticipated including SAP mentors, SAP employees and a couple of cheerful and bright kids as well. Theevent started with a session on SAP HANA Cloud Platform IoT services presented by my colleague WeiWeiLin from the SAP HANA Cloud Platform Product Management team. She explained what IoT Services are,what the typical use cases are, and then demonstrated how to get started with these services in the HANACloud Platform Cockpit. Then  Nethaji Tummuru from the SAP Innovation Center team talked about someinspiring ideas including different possibilities for developing demos using IoT Services and how they havebuilt some innovative demos in their organization.

 After that, participants were split into 8 teams. Each team had been supplied with multiple different sensorsfor monitoring things like pressure, heart rate, and temperature. During the next 45 hours, teams had to buildsome prototypes using these sensors, HCP IoT Services and Fiori UI. At around 4 PM, we started with thefinal presentations. Here I would like to show some of the cool ideas that won prizes in this hackathon: 1. Smart Chair: The idea behind this demo was to keep people active during their work hours and avoid thesituation where they keep sitting on chair for long hours. In this project, the team attached some sensors tothe chair that would continuously send data to HCP via IoT Services. There was a threshold level set for howmany minutes person can continuously sit on the chair that once it was reached, will cause a vibrationnotification to be sent to alert person on the chair that he or she had been sitting too long and now it’s time toget up and away from the desk and do some other activity.

2. TAM CAM: This was another cool idea focusing on children diagnosed within the autism spectrum. Withthis project, the sensor can be attached to that child's shirt, where it will monitor various inputs liketemperature, motion, and vibration, and keep that data stored on HCP. Parents can then analyze thebehavioral patterns of the child based on this data, which will help them understand better under whatconditions or after which threshold level the child behaves differently and they can further avoid suchconditions in future.

 3. Smart Health: In this project, the team created a prototype wherein there will be sensors attached tofactory workers’ shirts that will monitor their heart rate and some other parameters. And based on this data,they can create a schedule as to how to allocate the shifts for each worker and take some precautionarymeasures if there are some abnormal readings. 4. Parks Management: This was another innovative idea that will help national parks to identify locations ofpatrons and keep track of them. There will be beacons installed in the park at multiple locations and sensorsattached to the patrons’ shirts will continuously send data about their location to HCP. If a patron gets lost,park administrators can find out his or her location based on this data. 

 I got a chance to talk with some of the participants and here are some testimonials from the participantsabout their experience of using HCP IoT services: 1. Chris Rae SAP Mentor

“First off, the SAP dShop space is fantastic for this type of event. The look and feel of the place immediatelyengaged the attendees.  The facilities that they provide are second to none to allow participants to becreative.I have done my fair share on innojams and hackathons, I can tell you that the concept of doing this in 5 hoursalthough daunting, is absolutely possible using the HCP IOT services. I have personally played with pushingIOT data to HANA using custom xsodata objects and although it is easy to do, it was not as seamless asusing the IOT services. It really did take the miracle out of why things work. Participants were then allowed toget on with the job of making electronics work and building the UI for the demo.I facilitated an IOT workshop last year that took the attendees from having never seem the electronicsplatform (Arduino) to building a UI on HANA to represent the data in one day. I will be updating this workshopto now use HCP IOT services to stream the data.Finally I must say that I am most impressed with the SAP Ecosystem for the overwhelming response toincluding my children in this activity. The event organizers and staff were more than willing to allow them toparticipate but did not pander to them. They were there as equal attendees just like everybody else. It reallywas brilliant for my children to be able to take part in this and see how their experience with IOT devicescompares to others. It has instilled confidence in them that simply cannot be taught or replicated. For that Iam very grateful.”

2.     Babu Balakrishnaiah – Solution Architect, HANA Partner Engineering, SAP “IOT Services is very simplified process to learn in few minutes and use it to enable sensor to action. IOTservices user interface screens are quite simple and step by step tabs are easy to follow in defining thedevice types and devices itself to map and to onboard the sensor data into HANA. With IOT services you canquickly onboard and manage connected remote devices to get real time predictive analytics. Good to have theinformation somewhere as what quantity of data we can stream at a time using IOT services to HANA.” 3.     Sascha Wenninger SAP Mentor “I thought the event was really nicely organized, and the workshop space with all of the hardware, tools, andprofessional help by Blag and Aaron was really great, and conducive to getting a result produced on the day.Having the organizers allocate people to teams actually worked well in the case of our team, as we had agood mix of an experienced Arduino programmer (Marc), and an excellent presenter (Andreas)  so a reallygood mix of technical and nontechnical skills on the team. We used HCP for reporting the times that thechair was occupied back to HANA :) “

Thanks for the post! Although I need to correct one thing, I was cohost with Lisa Brown, Head ofMobile App Development for SAP IT services.  She did an amazing job.These type of events always amaze me in what people can do in such a short amount of time.Thanks to everyone who attended for making this a such a great event.  Next year will be even better.

Amazing stuff going on IoT.. wish to implement with live data coming from sensors not from

simulators.
