[新聞稿] Ming Chi University of Technology Computer Center is honored to receive the "Microsoft First Power Platform + GPT Hackathon" Best Industry Solution Award!
Microsoft organized the First Power Platform + GPT Hackathon competition, aiming to leverage Microsoft Power Platform combined with GPT artificial intelligence technology to create new trend solutions with practical applications. Members of the Computer Center of Ming Chi University of Technology formed the "Future Expedition" team and participated in the hackathon competition with their project, the "Greenhouse Gas Inventory System." During the nearly two-month competition, with thousands of participants from different fields across Taiwan and mainland China, a total of 6 innovative teams stood out and entered the finals. In the end, the "Future Expedition" team won the "Best Industry Solution Award" in the finals.
The "Future Expedition" team has emerged in this competition with its outstanding creativity and technical prowess. The entry, the "Greenhouse Gas Inventory System," built an intuitive interface using Power Apps, allowing colleagues to easily input commuting and business trip distance data. Simultaneously, Power Automate automatically triggered email reminders during file conversion in different databases, initiated Azure OpenAI when the form was submitted, provided carbon emission reduction suggestions to Power Apps and Teams, and used Power BI Server to create reports. The system also integrated with the greenhouse gas inventory operation system for carbon emission calculations.
The innovative solution of the "Greenhouse Gas Inventory System" not only automated the University's greenhouse gas inventory operations, saving 99% of data consolidation and statistical time and 966 hours of annual working hours but also increased the data reporting rate to 91%. Ming Chi University of Technology expressed gratitude for the recognition received through this award, thanking the organizers and judges for acknowledging the team's efforts. This award also gave great support and encouragement to Ming Chi University of Technology for its active involvement in sustainable innovative applications in digital transformation.
