关于客户
The University of Washington is a prestigious institution serving over 40,000 students, professors, and administrators annually. It offers a rich environment for learning and life experiences across its three campuses, which encompass over 12 million square feet of facilities. These facilities include classrooms, offices, laboratories, and dormitories, enabling innovation and collaboration for students from around the world. The university's leadership is committed to balancing the need to restore and renew aging facilities with the need to grow by providing modern facilities for world-class excellence in research and teaching. This commitment drives the university's strategy to ensure proper management of its extensive facilities, which are crucial for supporting its educational and research missions.
挑战
The University of Washington faced the challenge of managing over 12 million square feet of facilities across three campuses, which included classrooms, offices, laboratories, and dormitories. The need for both new construction and ongoing maintenance required ready access to relevant facilities information to ensure proper management. Additionally, since the events of 9/11, real-time access to visual facilities information in times of crisis became critical for saving lives and ensuring that first responders had the necessary information to act safely and effectively. The university's facilities management organization envisioned an enterprise solution to manage critical facilities information securely online for better access, visibility, and control. The wide range of different files, documents, and data required for construction and ongoing maintenance, along with configuration information for various systems, necessitated a powerful solution capable of handling vast amounts of data and file relationships.
解决方案
To address the challenge, the University of Washington implemented the Aras Innovator solution, a modern web-based service-oriented architecture (SOA) on the Microsoft platform. Aras Innovator provided an enterprise business solution for configuration management that complemented existing systems at the university. This solution offered a scalable, manageable, and secure platform that the institution could rely on for the future. The deployment of Aras Innovator enabled the university to gain complete control over facilities information, accessible over the web using PCs and wireless tablet PCs. This saved time and facilitated better collaboration. The Aras solution managed and delivered all the facilities information, including over 6 terabytes of data, necessary for successful projects such as the construction of the William H. Foege BioEngineering & Genome Sciences Building. By utilizing Aras Innovator, the university simplified manageability, improved access, and ensured security for its facilities information.

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.
