Innovative solutions to business and social challenges driven by access to SAS Viya and its new AI tools

CARY, N.C., Nov. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — SAS, a leader in data and AI, has announced the winners of the 2024 SAS Hackathon across 25 regional, industry, technology, specialty and student categories. These winning teams represent businesses, government agencies, nonprofits, universities and SAS Partners.

The 2024 SAS Hackathon offered hands-on experience with the very latest SAS Viya technology.

This year’s SAS Hackathon boasted 1,731 registrants from more than 70 countries. This led to an all-time high of 145 approved teams that participated in the month-long hack, supported by 110 SAS mentors. SAS produces the annual SAS Hackathon, which was sponsored this year by long-time SAS Partners Microsoft and Intel.

During the SAS Hackathon, teams of data scientists, business analysts, technology enthusiasts and students come together – often virtually across continents – to network, learn from each other and from a SAS mentor, and experiment with new technologies that spark innovation and improve lives.

Cutting-edge tech
The 2024 SAS Hackathon offered hands-on experience with a host of new technologies, including the very latest from SAS® Viya®, SAS‘ cloud-native, massively parallel data and AI platform. Four new Viya offerings were available to SAS Hackathon teams:

SAS Viya Workbench – a self-service, on-demand compute environment for conducting data preparation and exploratory data analysis and developing AI models.Model Cards – best described as “nutrition labels” for AI models, they highlight indicators like accuracy, fairness and model drift. With emerging AI rules, it is crucial to understand and share with regulators how models are performing.SAS Data Maker – a synthetic data generator, it addresses data privacy and data scarcity challenges by generating high-quality synthetic data without compromising sensitive information.SAS Viya Copilot – a personal AI assistant, it enhances productivity for developers, data scientists and business users by accelerating code generation, data cleaning and exploration, marketing planning and more.

“Hackathons are a fantastic way to advance novel ideas and explore new methods. And with hands-on access to SAS Viya and its powerful new AI tools, the winning teams in this year’s SAS Hackathon have raised the bar of innovation to new heights,” said Jennifer Chase, Chief Marketing Officer at SAS.

“Their projects will have a substantial impact on many of today’s business and societal challenges. Congratulations to the winners and all SAS Hackathon participants for inspiring us.”

Preventing heat stroke and saving lives
An example of a SAS Hackathon team effectively using these new technologies is team StaSASticians. Team members are experts in data analytics, mathematical modeling and health care. Using SAS Viya Workbench and SAS Data Maker, along with SAS Viya and Python tools, they developed an AI-enabled Heat Stroke Prevention System for construction workers.

The system analyzes real-time weather data and sensor information from IoT-equipped smart helmets from IoT company (and team member) BeeInventor that monitor factors such as workers’ heart rate and core body temperature. The system then provides real-time warnings of potential heat stroke to protect high-risk workers. This can save lives and enhance safety, productivity and regulatory compliance while also reducing health care costs.

In a world warming due to climate change, this Heat Stroke Prevention System is a very timely and targeted innovation. For the 2024 SAS Hackathon, team StaSASticians won in three categories: Americas (region), Insurance (industry) and IoT (technology). And its project is typical of the many inspiring stories within this year’s SAS Hackathon.

Overall winner?
While SAS announced category winners today, the overall SAS Hackathon winner will be named at SAS Innovate, the SAS data and AI technology conference, May 6-9, 2025, in Orlando, Florida.

Published

6 hours ago

January 11, 2025

Docking Drawer, the leader in in-drawer outlet solutions, is set to showcase its newly configured Safety Interlock Outlets for appliance garages at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas this February 2025.

SAN RAMON, Calif., Jan. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Docking Drawer’s Unwavering Dedication to Safety

“At Docking Drawer, we’re not just creating products; we’re setting new standards for safety and functionality.”

When it comes to safety, no one in the industry matches the focus and innovation of Docking Drawer. Their Safety Interlock Outlets for appliance garages bring a unique, forward-thinking solution to an often-overlooked area in kitchen design. These safety outlets automatically de-energize an appliance garage power source when the cabinet door is closed, ensuring that appliances are safely powered off when contained inside the cabinet.

Docking Drawer is also the only company dedicated to creating in-cabinet electrical solutions that meet the strict code requirements of the Canadian marketplace. Their Safety Interlock Outlets are designed to make in-cabinet electricity compliant in Canada while offering consumers in all regions an additional layer of safety for in-cabinet power.

Advanced Limit Switch Technology

Docking Drawer’s Safety Interlock Outlets for appliance garages utilize an advanced Limit Switch system, designed to work seamlessly with power outlets concealed by a cabinet door. This intuitive feature detects when the cabinet door is closed, instantly cutting power to the connected outlet and all powered appliances.

Now Compatible with Any Appliance Garage Door

An updated Limit Switch feature now offers different switch options to accommodate all appliance garage door types, including traditional cabinet doors, pocket door setups, and more. The newly designed Limit Switch now offers two functions to choose from:

Power Off When Limit Switch is Depressed: This state is ideal for traditional cabinet doors, where closing the door depresses the switch to cut power safely.Power On When Limit Switch is Depressed: This state is perfect for pocket doors, where the door being pushed back upon opening activates the switch, turning the power on.

Customizable Connectivity

The flexibility of Docking Drawer’s solutions also allows for connecting multiple limit switches to a single safety outlet or vice versa, offering customization options to adapt to the unique demands of any project.

“At Docking Drawer, we’re not just creating products; we’re setting new standards for safety and functionality,” states Scott Dickey, founder of Docking Drawer. “Our Safety Interlock Outlets represent the culmination of our dedication to innovation and empowering homeowners and professionals with safer, more organized spaces—even beyond the kitchen and bathroom.”

Join Us at KBIS 2025

Don’t miss the opportunity to experience the future of kitchen safety. Visit Docking Drawer at KBIS 2025 in Las Vegas this February to see firsthand how their Safety Interlock Outlets are revolutionizing appliance garage safety.

About Docking Drawer:
