About The Customer
Wited is a learning platform dedicated to improving the education of students aged 6 to 17 across Latin America. With a team of 40 employees, the company offers school reinforcement services to thousands of students, including those who attend traditional schools and those who are homeschooled. Wited's platform is particularly valuable in a region where educational quality often falls short, leading to learning deficiencies. The platform's competitive edge lies in its four-layer learning approach, which includes content aligned with study plans, practice exercises, interactive sessions with teachers, and a 24/7 AI assistant. This comprehensive approach allows students to receive the support they need for homework, exam preparation, and subject mastery.
The Challenge
Wited faced a dual challenge in its mission to enhance education for students across Latin America. With a user base of thousands and a potential market of 125 million students, the company needed to improve the flexibility and scalability of its platform to prevent service interruptions during high demand periods. Additionally, Wited aimed to optimize its generative artificial intelligence tools to enhance teaching methods, but was concerned about the high costs associated with testing and implementing these technologies. The company needed a solution that could support its growth ambitions while managing costs effectively.
The Solution
To address its scalability and AI challenges, Wited partnered with Google Cloud to enhance its technological infrastructure. The initial phase, which began in 2022, involved optimizing the platform's infrastructure using advanced technological support. Wited implemented Google Cloud solutions such as Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage, Compute Engine, and Google Kubernetes Engine. With the assistance of Google Cloud experts and its internal technology team, Wited transformed its technological platform over six months. The collaboration with Axmos Technologies, a Google Cloud partner, further enabled Wited to integrate generative AI solutions like Gemini and Vertex AI. These tools empowered Max AI, Wited's 24/7 smart robot, to assist students in improving their learning outcomes and preparing for future challenges.

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.
