SAP InnoJam 2014 – Addressing the Water Shortage

For this year the InnoJam, which feeds into the SAP TechEd &&d-code DemoJam, took place at SAP Campus in Palo Alto, CA. The theme of the InnoJam this year was IoT (Internet of Things) in Agriculture, inspired by only the lack of water in CA and today’s interview is with one of the Teams that put together something that could address this problem head-on.

This solution uses sensors so that each farm can get real-time data in SAP HANA. Farmers can then predict how much water to use in their fields thus conserving water. The solution uses SAP UI5, SAP HANA as the backend and SAP HANA Cloud to connect to the SAP HANA database.

I will have another interview tomorrow
