About The Customer
The University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava (UCM) was founded in 1997. The mission of UCM, in the spirit of Christian and national ideals and in accordance with democratic principles, is to educate qualified experts who will be capable of successfully developing Slovak culture, science, and learning within the context of European and global cultural heritage. UCM aims to be a modern educational institution that provides students with sufficient opportunities in philosophy and art, as well as with the latest findings in mathematics, information science, chemistry, and biotechnology.
The Challenge
In the past, UCM’s Faculty of Natural Sciences (mainly the Department of Chemistry) used a run-of-the mill software application such as Microsoft® Excel®. In order for the university to become more competitive and increase its visibility through scientific publications, however, it would need to process experimental results using suitable statistical software, the standing of which would impact the scientific community’s perception of the value of UCM’s publications and related activity. The university sought an advanced tool that not only would permit thorough analysis of scientific data but would also be suitable for use in education. It needed software to analyze clinical and physical data, test results, substance behaviour and separation (chromatography) in model systems, drugs, or food samples. First-rate scientific work helps UCM obtain state funding and increase its rating. The school’s management selected STATISTICA Base and STATISTICA Data Miner through StatSoft CR in Prague.
The Solution
The software was easily installed by university staff in one day. Aside from the minimum support required during implementation, StatSoft also took care of any required training in a standard manner. “Choosing StatSoft CR soon showed itself to have been an excellent decision. Aside from implementation of a top-notch analysis tool, thanks to which we can now perform advanced scientific work, we found the supplier to be an outstanding partner with a professional and personal approach,” says Mgr. Peter Nemeček, PhD., with UCM’s Department of Chemistry.

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.
