Innohacks 4.0

Bridge the gap between the physical and digital world! This track challenges hackers to build smart, interconnected systems that gather real-world data, communicate seamlessly via cloud/edge pipelines, and trigger automated physical or digital responses. Whether you are tracking assets in transit, monitoring environmental telemetry, or automating smart infrastructure, show us how hardware and software collide to solve real-world scale problems.

Tech to leverage: Microcontrollers (ESP32, Arduino, Raspberry Pi), MQTT/HTTP protocols, real-time databases, and responsive web dashboards.
