GenAI AI Hackathon — Automotive & Manufacturing Use Cases

About the Event

Join us for a fast-paced, one-day in-person hackathon where you'll build real-world GenAI solutions for the automotive and manufacturing industries.

This hackathon is a joint initiative by Amazon Web Services, Redis, and Storm Reply — bringing together the power of AWS's AI/ML platform, Redis's real-time data capabilities, and Storm Reply's deep automotive cloud expertise. Together, we're creating a unique environment where automotive and manufacturing professionals can explore how Generative AI and Agentic AI can transform their industry — from the factory floor to the finished vehicle.

Why This Collaboration Matters

• AWS provides the AI foundation: Amazon Bedrock for foundation model access, AgentCore for production-ready AI agents, and the cloud infrastructure to scale from prototype to production
• Redis delivers the real-time data layer: sub-millisecond vector search, streaming data ingestion, and the speed that automotive and manufacturing workloads demand
• Storm Reply brings industry expertise: as an AWS Premier Consulting Partner specializing in automotive cloud solutions, they bridge the gap between cutting-edge tech and real-world industry requirements

What You'll Build

Teams of 3–5 engineers, architects, and data scientists will prototype AI-powered solutions that solve real problems across the automotive and manufacturing value chain:

Factory Floor & Manufacturing

• Real-time anomaly detection on production lines
• LLM-powered operator assistants for troubleshooting
• Quality & defect classification pipelines
• Predictive maintenance and bottleneck analysis

Logistics & Operations

• Fleet routing optimization
• Supply chain anomaly prediction
• Natural-language queries over live operational data

Inside the Vehicle

• AI-powered in-car assistants
• Context-aware infotainment personalisation
• Driver profile-based recommendations
