The Challenge
LDR Medical, a global innovator in Cervical and Spinal devices, faced the challenge of building a cohesive corporate culture across its offices in France, America, China, and Brazil. The company highly values its employees and their work-life balance, celebrating their successes and investing heavily in corporate events. They also frequently relocate employees and have many traveling to meet with teams in other offices. The challenge was to create a communication hub that could deliver on all these fronts, fostering a sense of unity and engagement among employees spread across different countries.
The Solution
Clarity, a company known for building custom portals, was brought in to design and build an employee portal for LDR Medical. The portal was almost entirely custom-built and included a global events calendar, a Facebook-style information feed, a stock ticker to monitor the company's IPO, multiple company directories, an Employee of the Month spotlight, floor plans for every office, company surveys, and galleries of company events. It also had department sections for HR, IT, Legal, Marketing, Accounting, and more. Additionally, Clarity integrated an Employee Recognition platform into the portal. Each quarter, every employee is given points to allocate or 'award' another employee for outstanding service. The points are reported in a feed along with a testimonial about the award, and a store has company swag, gifts, electronics, and pizza parties where the employees can redeem their points.

Leveraging the IoT to Gain a Competitive Edge in International Competition
Many large manufacturers in and outside Japan are competing for larger market share in the same space, expecting a growing demand for projectors in the areas of entertainment, which requires glamor and strong visual performance as well as digital signage that can attract people’s attention. “It is becoming more and more difficult to differentiate ourselves with stand-alone hardware products,” says Kazuyuki Kitagawa, Director of Service & Support at Panasonic AVC Networks. “In order for Panasonic to grow market share and overall business, it is essential for us to develop solutions that deliver significant added value.” Panasonic believes projection failure and quality deterioration should never happen. This is what and has driven them to make their projectors IoT-enabled. More specifically, Panasonic has developed a system that collects data from projectors, visualizes detailed operational statuses, and predicts issues and address them before failure occurs. Their projectors are embedded with a variety of sensors that measure power supply, voltage, video input/ output signals, intake/exhaust air temperatures, cooling fan operations, and light bulb operating time. These sensors have been used to make the projector more intelligent, automatically suspending operation when the temperature rises excessively, and automatically switching light bulbs. Although this was a great first step, Panasonic projectors were still not equipped with any capability to send the data over a network.
