RAMAX Group supports AVIASAP hackathon in MAI
For the second year in a row, MAI hosts AVIASAP, a two-day intensive event for undergraduates and postgraduates, where participants generate ideas and create prototypes using SAP Cloud Platform, SAP BUILD, and SAP Analytics Cloud.
The main mission of the project is to find opportunities to improve the aviation industry and solve current business problems.
This year, AVIASAP brought together more than 50 students from various universities, not only MAI, but also HSE, RUT (MIIT), Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas (NRU), and Bauman Moscow State Technical University. The educational and project program of the hackathon included master classes from RAMAX Group and SAP specialists, training sessions and moderation using design thinking, work on technical and software prototypes, as well as final presentations of developments.
Participants were offered a choice of three thematic areas — services for passengers and companies and after-sales service. According to the results of the voting, the first place was taken by the Jutter team, which developed a prototype application for passengers. It will help to organize the storage of things that are not needed during the flight, but are necessary on the way to the airport and on returning home, for example, in winter, a down jacket and a hat will wait for their owner in Moscow, and not travel with him to Hawaii. The second place was taken by the No Toxic People team, which offered a solution for predicting repair checks for SuperJet. And the third was Avialovers with a service for predicting spare parts for repairs.
Andrey Bezrukov, Project Manager of RAMAX Group: "RAMAX Group traditionally supports such events in the leading universities of the country, being an expert in information technologies for the aviation industry and a long-term partner of SAP. We, as well as the market as a whole, are interested and profitable for young specialists to enter the market as prepared as possible for practical work. Such events serve as an excellent catalyst for involving the elite of tech-savvy youth in the implementation of real big projects, allowing them to openly and openly look at the latest technologies that exist today in the civil aviation industry, learn how to solve problems with their application in an unconventional and effective way."
Dmitry Krasyukov, Executive Director of SAP CIS, noted: "For SAP, one of the main areas related to education is cooperation with the largest universities, globally this is helped by the SAP University Alliance program, in which we reach a new level of work with MAI after more than 5 years of cooperation. Universities are becoming a platform for hackathons, lectures, crowdsourcing and innovative projects, the most important link in the process of creating and testing ideas. It is this cooperation between business and universities that can help bridge the gap between fundamental knowledge and practice. It is important to involve young professionals in working with innovations, especially within the framework of specific business tasks, so that they can become part of the Russian and global ecosystem that forms the digital economy."
