• Janatics Automation Skill Challenge is an educational initiative by JANATICS for training the students in automation skills and broaden the young minds to be innovative which eventually helps them in widening their career opportunities and winning probabilities.

  “JANATICS AUTOMATION SKILL CHALLENGE” is a hackathon style competition organized by Janatics. The Event aims at providing Participants with an opportunity to delve into the vast landscape of Automation technologies, by taking up a challenge to develop a part of the process and integrate it with a system to complete the process.

Objective:

• Throughout the Event Participants will
• a. Be immersed in an environment that fosters innovation and learning,
  b. Be able to connect with like-minded individuals and industry experts,
  c. Benefit from the guidance of experienced Mentors and
  d. Showcasing talents and skills

Event Schedule

The Schedule for the Competition is as follows:

PROCESS FLOW :

The concept for the hackathon will be building some automation solution or solving some issues on MMS – Modular Manufacturing System (Details about the system are available to the participants post registration). The problem statement will be declared to all qualified participants, and they are expected to propose their innovative ideas and value additions as a solution, which inturn must be integrated and demonstrated on the MMS.

Note : This competition will also ask students to undergo some training. But that is only to gain the necessary knowledge and skills to compete. At any point in time, JANATICS will not be asking for any fees or money from the participants for the same.

PRE-QUALIFIER :

This round will be more of learning for the participants to gain more knowledge on industrial automation and mechatronics, thereby increasing their winning probabilities.

• The pre-qualifier includes details like the general instructions of the competition, rules and regulations, terminologies, followed by elearning modules on different technologies.
• This round doesn’t end with only theoretical learning. The pre-qualifier round will also give some physical activities like practicing using our online application (VMAL App) and optionally visiting one of our center to see some automation equipment.
• In the theoretical learning, the participants will be able to learn about Pneumatic, Electro-Pneumatic, PLC, Sensorics, Vacuum and an overview of the mechatronics system, which helps students to grasp the fundamental technical instruction required to complete the Janatics Automation Skill Challenge.
• In order to advance to the qualifying phase, participants must successfully finish the "JASC 2024 E-Learning Course" with a minimum score of 40%.
• After clearing the E-Learning course, practice using VMAL App (Mobile and Desktop) editions on how to build an automation system. Candidates must play and pass both the desktop and mobile editions to be eligible for the qualifier round.
• If the candidates wishes to learn more about the systems and their functionality, they can visit a nearby JANATICS or partner center in the region to gain hands-on experience. The list of center and the registration forms for each centers are available in the portal as you go through the course to confirm your visit to the center.

QUALIFIER

• Stage 1 - Concept Proposal
  This stage includes concept design submission with a 3D CAD design and electro-pneumatic circuit design prepared using Automation Studio - circuit simulation software, for the given problem statement. ( Free access to Automation Studio software will be provided based on the user request. (Request forms will be emailed to the qualified participants on or before 1st July 2024) )
• Stage 2 – Prototype Demonstration
  The selected participant from stage 1 of the qualifier round needs to develop a prototype and demonstrate the model to the Jurry.

Note : The participant must present the project (for both Stage 1 & Stage 2) through a PowerPoint presentation and demonstrate it via an online call established by JANATICS. The presentation should not take more than 15 minutes, followed by questions for 10 minutes. After the final presentation, the jury will evaluate and qualify the finalist. (The ppt format will be uploaded in our elearning course on 1st July 2024).

FINAL

The selected participants from the qualified round will be invited to DIDAC India 2024 at Yashobhoomi (IICC - India International Convention & Expo Centre), New Delhi, where the MMS will be available for the students to integrate the developed model to provide the solution. After integrating, the participant should demonstrate the complete system in functioning condition.
