NeoMatrix’s Journey at the 2024 Inductive Automation Build-a-Thon: A Stepping Stone to Future Victory

This year marked NeoMatrix’s debut at the 2024 Inductive Automation Build-a-Thon, a competition that combines industrial automation expertise with the thrill of an epic quest. Competing for the first time against 25 other skilled Ignition system integrators in the fantasy-themed Lands of Ignition, our NeoMatrix team proudly finished 7th on the leaderboard—a strong showing that reflects our commitment to excellence and innovation.

A Fierce Competition with a Fun Twist

Hosted by Inductive Automation, the Build-a-Thon is a unique blend of technical prowess and imaginative challenges, where competitors engage with mythical creatures, solve riddles from a Sphinx, and even team up with a flying dragon! This year’s theme added a new layer of excitement, making the competition not only a test of skills but also an adventure filled with unexpected twists and turns.

The NeoMatrix Experience

For NeoMatrix, our first time competing in the 2024 Build-a-Thon was more than just a contest; it was an opportunity to demonstrate our Ignition expertise and to learn from some of the best in the industry. We want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone on our team that participated in the Build-a-Thon and to all our NeoMatrix employees that stuck around and watched and cheered the team on. We gave it our all, navigating the challenges, and ultimately secured a 7th place finish. While we didn’t make it to the final round this time, our performance has only fueled our ambition for future competitions.

Building Towards the Future

Participating in the Build-a-Thon has been an invaluable experience for the NeoMatrix team. It’s a steppingstone toward our future reign as Build-a-Thon champions. We’re already looking forward to next year’s competition, armed with the knowledge and experience we’ve gained this year. Our goal is clear: to climb higher on that leaderboard and to one day don the coveted orange winner’s blazers.

As we continue to grow and evolve, NeoMatrix remains committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in industrial automation. The 2024 Build-a-Thon was just one chapter in our journey, and we’re excited to see what the future holds.

Stay tuned as we prepare for our next adventure in the Lands of Ignition! With each challenge, we get closer to achieving our goal of becoming Build-a-Thon champions. Until then, we’ll keep honing our skills, learning from our experiences, and aiming for the top.
