About The Customer
Oregon State University (OSU) is a prominent educational institution in the United States, known for its comprehensive research and community engagement. It is one of only two U.S. universities designated as a land-, sea-, space-, and sun-grant institution. OSU is also the only university in Oregon to hold both the Carnegie Foundation’s top designation for research institutions and its prestigious Community Engagement classification. With over 26,000 students from all 50 states and more than 90 nations, OSU is committed to providing a top-notch education experience. The university emphasizes teaching students the skills and knowledge necessary to navigate today’s changing and challenging environment while embracing diversity in local and global communities. As part of its mission, OSU continuously seeks to adopt innovations that enhance accessibility and inclusivity for all students, staff, and visitors.
The Challenge
Oregon State University faced the challenge of managing a limited number of ADA parking spaces on campus. The university needed to ensure that there were enough ADA spaces available at all times and that individuals in need of these spaces could find and access them quickly and easily. This was part of their broader goal to adopt innovations that make the campus more accessible to students and staff with disabilities. Despite being ranked highly for web accessibility, managing physical accessibility through parking remained a constant challenge. The university sought a solution that would not only improve the management of these spaces but also enhance the overall parking experience for all users, including students, visitors, faculty, and staff.
The Solution
Oregon State University collaborated with Streetline to implement a comprehensive smart parking solution. This solution included several of Streetline’s products: ParkSight™, ParkEdge™, Parker™, and ParkerMap™. The university identified and equipped 75 ADA parking spaces across the campus with Streetline’s patented vehicle detection sensors. These sensors provided real-time data on the availability of these spaces, which was then communicated to motorists through the Parker app and ParkerMap. This system allowed users to easily find available ADA spaces and plan their parking accordingly. Additionally, the data collected from these sensors was made available to the university’s Department of Disability Access Services and the Department of Transit and Parking Services. This data included metrics such as occupancy, turnover, demand, and duration of stay, enabling the university to make informed decisions about future parking policies and space allocation. The ParkEdge platform further enhanced the solution by allowing the university to update parking facility information in real-time, ensuring that all users had access to the most current information regarding rates, hours, and restrictions.

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.

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.

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.
