Students and academic staff from the T4EU Alliance Universities are invited to join the latest Stakeholder Challenge.

Aster Coop, an Italian company specialising in the management of integrated logistics services – launched a challenge that aims to set up a “Maintenance Scheduler”. Participants will have to set up a scheduler able to handle various activities related to routine and extraordinary maintenance of Aster Coop’s facilities (warehouses), equipment and machinery.

They will work on the development of a software, which can assist in managing all the activities related to ordinary and extraordinary maintenance. The entire challenge will be ONLINE!

The software will have to:

• generate alerts as the deadline of maintenance activities approaches;
• generate a new maintenance expiration date when the activity is accomplished;
• should have the possibility to upload reports and images of the maintenance performed by the operator;
• must be able to store the history of all the maintenance activities;
• must be able to have a “ticketing system” for reporting anomalies and extraordinary damages. The operator who identifies a contingency requiring intervention (breakdown, breakage, alarm, etc.) “opens a ticket” within the scheduler reporting that it is required to intervene on a facility or machinery
