About The Customer
The ASaP Program (Access, Support and Participation) is an initiative aimed at making childcare more inclusive by providing one-on-one coaching to early childhood educators. The program was created in response to a research study conducted in 2011 by Dr. Lesley Wiart for the Alberta Centre for Child, Family and Community Research. The study identified significant challenges facing licensed childcare centres, including limited access to resources to support the inclusion of all children. ASaP uses the evidence-based Pyramid Model to build educators' skills, knowledge, and confidence in inclusive practices, promote children's healthy social and emotional development, and support the wellbeing of educators, children, and families. The program initially operated in the Edmonton area but has since expanded to other regions of Alberta, including rural areas.
The Challenge
In 2012, The ASaP Program (Access, Support and Participation) was created in response to a research study conducted in 2011 by Dr. Lesley Wiart for the Alberta Centre for Child, Family and Community Research. The study identified several significant challenges facing licensed childcare centres, including limited access to resources to support the inclusion of all children. ASaP aimed to address these challenges by providing one-on-one coaching to early childhood educators using the evidence-based Pyramid Model. The goal was to build educators' skills, knowledge, and confidence in inclusive practices, promote children's healthy social and emotional development, and support the wellbeing of educators, children, and families. However, as ASaP expanded its work from the Edmonton area to other regions of the province, including rural areas, they faced the challenge of reducing drive time and providing a more efficient alternative to face-to-face coaching.
The Solution
To address the challenge of providing efficient coaching in rural areas, ASaP chose Swivl Teams + Robot after considering several coaching tools. Swivl Teams + Robot is a hands-free tool that tracks the educator around the classroom, allowing coaches to see educators in their practice and focus on their goals. The tool also features Time-Stamped Comments, which facilitate deeper and more meaningful dialogues between coaches and educators. Over time, ASaP expanded the use of Swivl Teams + Robot beyond submitting videos for feedback. Coaches began using the tool to set clear and actionable goals, record themselves modeling classroom strategies, and provide feedback to educators. This reciprocal coaching approach allowed coaches to self-reflect on their practice and receive feedback from their supervisors. ASaP also used Swivl Teams + Robot as a relationship-building tool, incorporating video into various aspects of professional learning and remote coaching. During the pandemic, they focused on the mental wellbeing of program participants through virtual check-ins.

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.
