15. 1st Prize – Fat Controller
Fat Controller responds dynamically to
demand to optimise routing & packing
Team Fat Controller developed a system
that pre-empts demand to improve deck
utilisation and reduce the amount of trips
required to service offshore facilities. It
also calculates the best possible route
based on the facility and scheduling
constraints.
16. CIIC Prize– OnTrack
Tracking fatigue, saving lives
Ontrack developed a tracking system visualisation using
RFID tags to plot, track and monitor the OH&S of
individuals.
Using data collected from fatigue monitoring, hours
worked and general well being this solution identifies
individuals who were at high risk and communicates with
them in real time, prior to an incident occurring.
17. Progress through collaborative innovation
Precedent – shown that data sharing can lead to excellent results
Focus on the prototyping phase
• Currently following up with top teams to discuss next steps
Data-driven solutions to common business problems
Woodside’s Unearthed Experience
How to deal with this disruption? Innovation and adoption.
So how does Australia do when it comes to innovation and collaboration?
Can’t do it alone
2013 McKinsey study on Disruptive technologies: Advances that will transform life, business, and the global economy
Use of computers to perform tasks that rely on complex analyses, subtle judgments, and creative problem solving
Inversely correlated
Focus on Games and apps
Two way divide – Innovators not addressing the biggest industry – And Resources industry not engaging with innovators and smaller companies
Developers, Data and Computer Scientists, engineers
IP REMAINS WITH DEVELOPERS
BHP Phase X challenge. 6 month
Algorithm for Mine Pit Design.
How can you benefit from this?
Underutilized – direct engagement without gatekeepers
Engagement with huge talent pool
Good media coverage
Newton Labs - Big Boulder detection
Accelerator open at the moment – Start ups can apply for seed funding, mentoring and office space
BHP Mine Hack 13th – 15th of May
Absolutely fantastic event with great supporter and good vibe. Woodside is dead serious about outside innovation
Invited Jesse Sharp from Woodside to share his experiences
