About The Customer
The Kentucky School Boards Association (KSBA) was established in 1936 and represents 863 school board members from across the state. The association provides training, services, and collegiality to aid in the effort of providing the best education possible for public school students across Kentucky. KSBA has been a long-time customer of Sonitrol of Lexington, with a relationship spanning 25 years. The association had been using a video surveillance system that was not providing the necessary clarity for identification during incidents.
The Challenge
The Kentucky School Boards Association (KSBA) had been facing issues with their existing video surveillance system. The system was unable to provide clear images for identification purposes during incidents. For instance, during a minor fender bender in the parking lot, the camera, which was only 30 feet away, could not clearly capture the identifying writing on the car that struck the other car. Similarly, during a break-in, the camera, which was three feet away, could not provide a positive ID on the perpetrator. These incidents highlighted the need for an upgrade in their video surveillance capabilities.
The Solution
KSBA decided to upgrade their video surveillance capabilities by implementing the 3xLOGIC Indoor Multi-Sensor NVR, a cube style, 2MP camera that goes beyond being an IP video camera. The camera hosts VIGIL Server, allowing it to record video to the onboard SD card, with full search capabilities in VIGIL Client and the View Lite II and infinias mobile apps. The Multi-Sensor device is equipped with impact-activated audio, glass break, and motion detection along with video and audio verification of alarm activations. The Multi-Sensors are connected to an updated Sonitrol panel, providing video feeds, and glass break and audio verification for both entrances. The four non-Sonitrol monitored cameras are overseen by 3xLOGIC VIGIL Central Management software (VCM), so if any equipment issues arise, Sonitrol knows immediately and can act to proactively solve them.

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.

8x increased productivity with VKS
Before VKS, a teacher would spend a lot of time showing a group of 22 students how to build a set of stairs within a semester of 120 hours. Along with not leaving the teacher much time to provide one-on-one support for each student to properly learn carpentry, it also left a considerable amount of room for error. Key information would be misinterpreted or lost as the class was taught in the typical show-and-tell way.

Scalable IoT Empowering GreenFlex's Sustainable Growth
GreenFlex, a company that supports sustainable development, decarbonization, and energy efficiency, faced several challenges in its quest to expand its business. The company needed to deploy a robust and sustainable IoT technology to support its growth. It was crucial for them to monitor and control devices at customer sites in a safe and reliable manner. They also needed to integrate devices across a range of communication protocols and gather and act on data to meet efficiency targets. GreenFlex had previously built IoT capabilities into its digital platform, GreenFlexIQ, to monitor and manage customer sites remotely. However, they soon realized that they needed a new platform to support their ambitions. They needed a platform that could scale to connect more devices for production management and make it easier for the operations team to manage devices in the field.
