关于客户
华盛顿大学环境学院研究地球的大气、土地和水系统以及人类对它们的影响。它还研究环境问题的工程和技术解决方案，以及政府政策对环境变化的影响。该学院与许多外部公司和机构合作，包括一个美国州政府部门，该部门管理着州信托土地上约 210 万英亩的森林。该部门还管理着全州 15,000 英里以上的森林道路，这些道路对于机械和人员到达森林的偏远地区进行木材采伐、维护或娱乐活动至关重要。
挑战
华盛顿大学环境学院与许多外部公司和机构合作，其中包括美国州政府部门，该部门管理着州信托土地上约 210 万英亩的林地。该部门还管理着全州 15,000 英里的林业道路，这些道路对于机械和人员到达森林偏远地区进行木材采伐、维护或娱乐活动至关重要。学院的任务是研究最佳、最可持续的方式来支持该部门完成其复杂的任务，即维护森林道路网络并帮助木材公司优化采伐流程——同时将成本和环境影响降至最低。
解决方案
该学院选择实施 IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimizer 和 Concert Technology，这是一种数学优化解决方案，可帮助研究人员构建高效的优化模型，然后解决高度复杂的问题，以在给定的约束条件下找到最佳解决方案。在这种情况下，目标是将用于安排木材采伐的现有模型与用于安排森林道路维护的新模型相结合。这将使政府和木材公司能够协调和优化采伐时间和森林道路的维护 - 不仅可以节省运营成本，还可以评估是否有必要继续维护整个森林道路网络，或者是否可以淘汰部分道路。

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.

Edinburgh Napier University streamlines long-distance learning with Cisco WebEX
• Geographically dispersed campus made in-person meetings costly and inconvenient.• Distance-learning programs in Malaysia, India, and China required dependable, user-friendly online tools to maximize interaction in collaborative workspaces.• Virtual learning environment required a separate sign-in process, resulting in a significant administrative burden for IT staff and limited adoption of collaboration technology.

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.
