Unisys Innovation Program Technical Project Contest gives a platform to Students to provide an opportunity to redefine the future of India through technological innovation like never before. Unisys Innovation Program is India’s biggest online technical project contests, that gives engineering students a perfect platform to showcase their innovative, path-breaking ideas and take them to the next level. The event is open to all engineering students who have an eye for innovation, interest in solving complex, real world business challenges, and taking their innovative ideas to product stage.
The current pandemic situation requires people to follow certain guidelines, particularly in busy areas, such as stations, airports, and public gatherings. While it is important to allow smooth movement, it is also important to follow guidelines. It is not always possible to have human vigilance at all places. MITE Student Team has developed a business model that solves this problem using video analytics by using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Language with video Analytics to monitor whether the guidelines are properly followed. In addition to SOP monitoring, the product also provides crowd tracking. It can be used to track the movement of the crowd in places where footfalls are high in number. It will also help in ensuring that the experience is not compromised or at least the impact is minimum.
Congratulating the Award Winning Students and the Mentor, Rajesh Chouta, Chairman, MITE mentioned that “Innovation has been the prime focus at MITE, which is reflected with consistent and continuous awards won by our Students at Global and National Level Hackathons and Innovation Project contests. This has been possible with the Technology enabled, Industry oriented technical education that is provided. The Industry certifications that has been provided to our Students in collaboration with Global Industries like SIEMENS, Bosch Rexroth, KPIT, UiPath, Salesforce, has prepared our students to the future requirements of the Industry and enabled them to design world class innovative products.”. Dr. M S Ganesha Prasad, Principal, MITE congratulated the team and highlighted the overall support system that is provided to the student in grooming talents to shape their future. The highest NAAC A+ Grade, ‘Excellent’ Band in ARIIA for Innovations, and the Highest ‘Platinum’ Rating for Industry Linkages in the AICTE-CII Rating of Engineering Institutions is a testament of the futuristic Vision of the Institute.
