MPSoC Design Contest
Submit your Design!
The annual MPSoC Forum will be held from July 7 - 12, 2024 in Kanazawa, Japan
Design submissions will be accepted until May 8, 2024.
Last year's winning design was "SMARTMINING” by Jorge Alzamora of SMARTMINING, Chile.
This design was an innovative technology to bring intelligence to the operation of mining and industry to solve operational and environmental problems. It develops adapted and non-invasive sensors, 4-layer SMD (surface-mount device) electronic design and electronic TX board firmware programming, with physical and digital sensors and MEMs (microelectromechanical systems) components with low energy consumption, suitable for aggressive environments such as the mining industry. Through analytics and artificial intelligence, it allows optimization of the grinding process, generating critical resource savings and productivity increases.
