Nominations in Two Competitive Categories
Emixa was honoured with nominations in two highly competitive categories:
- Project & Trajectories – Digital Innovation: Meijer Potato – Cross Potatoes
- Project & Trajectories – Education Project: InMotion – Charging Ahead Towards Le Mans e-Racing
About the Projects
Meijer Potato – Crossing Potatoes:
In collaboration with Meijer Potato, Mendix, Boomi, Solace, and Databricks, Emixa developed a solution to streamline the development of new potato varieties. By automating the selection of optimal "source potatoes" through an advanced data model, the process became more efficient and scalable. The integrated app, powered by Boomi iPaaS and Solace, communicates with a robust data platform to calculate the "perfect cross" for new varieties. Boomi Master Data Hub serves as the central data repository, ensuring data accuracy and consistency across all processes.
InMotion – Charging Ahead Towards Le Mans e-Racing:
This educational project, led by a student team at Eindhoven University of Technology in collaboration with Emixa and Siemens, aims to revolutionize charging technology in the automotive industry. The team's pioneering work seeks to make electric refueling as fast as conventional refueling. Their innovation will be showcased during the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans race, where they will compete with a fully electric car. Now in its eleventh season, the project demonstrates the potential of Siemens software—supported by Emixa—to drive the energy transition in the automotive industry
