Siemens launches contest for Vietnamese engineers and students

Siemens' SIMATIC IOT2050 contest is open to Vietnamese engineers and students across Vietnam

SIMATIC IOT2050 is designed for industrial IT solutions for the acquisition, processing, and transfer of data directly in the production environment. It can be used for connecting the production process to a cloud-based analysis of machine and production data.

The gateway can also be retrofitted in already existing plants, where it then harmonises communication between different data sources, analyses the data, and passes it on for evaluation to a local or cloud-based system.

SIMATIC IOT2050 is typically used for preventive machine maintenance and linking production to the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) level in order to minimise expensive production downtimes.

By joining the “Best Application for SIMATIC IOT2050” competition taking place from August 30 to November 11, candidates will be offered a great chance to keep abreast of the latest trends in automation and digitisation, to access state-of-the-art Siemens technology, to stay connected and expand professional networks, and most importantly, to use their knowledge and skills to design and develop innovative applications. They will also have amble opportunities to receive attractive presents from Siemens Digital Industries.

This contest is open to Vietnamese engineers and students across Vietnam. All submissions will be published on the Facebook page of Siemens Vietnam for public voting. There are four rounds and at the final round, the top 10 candidates will meet the Jury to present their ideas and solutions. Winners will be awarded with valuable prizes.

“Siemens Vietnam is delighted to organise this contest deliberately for automation engineers and students in Vietnam. Apart from offering them an exciting and meaningful playground to demonstrate their talent, we would like to help nurture creative problem solvers and brilliant solution designers strongly needed by Vietnamese enterprises in their digital transformation journey. We believe giving students the opportunity to exercise their academic strengths is a great way to motivate them to pursue their passion, and to develop generations to come,” said Siemens ASEAN and Vietnam CEO Pham Thai Lai.
