关于客户
Kungälvs Kommun is the local government authority for the town of Kungälv, which is in the county of Västra Götaland on the south west coast of Sweden, near the city of Gothenburg. It provides a range of public services including housing, transport, environment, social services and education, to a population of 41,000. Under its education remit, Kungälvs Kommun is responsible for both junior and senior schools in the town. Along with core education services, the authority also provides IT equipment and support to schools. To help students communicate with teachers, access information and complete assignments efficiently, Kungälvs Kommun decided to provide senior school pupils – aged between 12 and 18 years – with mobile devices such as laptops and tablets. Pupils use the devices in school, but also outside the school environment for work at home and for personal use. Kungälvs Kommun supports around 5,000 mobile devices used by pupils.
挑战
The mobile devices are a huge educational benefit to students, but giving expensive items to young people to use anywhere runs the risk of loss, theft or older children taking devices from younger ones. Kungälvs Kommun found that on average around 17 devices a year were going missing. But despite the loss of the devices, the main concern for Kungälvs Kommun was the potential risk of harm that pupils faced if they were to be threatened with violence during a theft.
解决方案
When Kungälvs Kommun launched its education mobile device programme it wanted to minimise the threat of users being harmed so it decided to use Absolute. Kungälvs Kommun started a rolling programme to install Absolute on all of its 5,000 mobile devices. Peter Borg, from the Education IT Department at Kungälvs Kommun, says, “The main reason why we needed Absolute was to protect our students. But, thankfully, so far none of our students has suffered any form of violence as a result of having a device stolen.” With Absolute on each device, one of the innovative actions that Kungälvs Kommun took was to run a series of advertisements in the local town and regional press announcing that pupil devices had a powerful security solution installed. Borg says, “The idea was to put the message out that these devices are traceable so don’t bother trying to steal them. So for us Absolute is as much a tool to deter theft, as well as an effective means to recover a stolen device.” Kungälvs Kommun has been able to recover the majority of lost or stolen devices protected with Absolute. Kungälvs Kommun is now starting to look at how it can use some of the other features of Absolute such as geotechnology, and reporting and analytics capabilities to improve the management of its fleet.

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.
