The Challenge
The Autonomous University of the State of Mexico (UAEMex) is a public institution of higher education that is committed to generating, studying, preserving, transmitting, and spreading universal knowledge. It is currently positioned as one of the best universities in Mexico. However, UAEMex faced a significant challenge. The university needed a system to facilitate the planning, monitoring, and easy access to relevant information to all agreements that UAEM has. In its current state, there was no single system of record for all conventions. As a result, the students, teachers, and administrative members could not access information about agreements because information was not available and often prevented students from benefiting absolutely from university agreements.
About The Customer
The Autonomous University of the State of Mexico (UAEMex) is a public institution of higher education based on humanistic and liberal values, aimed at generating, studying, preserving, transmitting, and spreading universal knowledge. It is committed to training ethical people proactively involved in building peace and in the defense of the best forms of human existence and coexistence that promote sustainable development, as well as a universal, humanist, national, free, fair and democratic consciousness. It is currently positioned as one of the best universities in Mexico. According to the Ranking of Universities of Latin America made by the consulting Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), the UAEMex ranks 59th in Latin America level and in the national context ranks number ten of the institutions involved in this evaluation. It also stands out among the Mexican public universities by the number of quality educational programs that it has.
The Solution
After an analysis of products on the market, the university chose ProcessMaker to be the 'Agreement System' of the UAEM. The idea was to allow carrying out a comprehensive monitoring of the 900 agreements that are there in the university. The first stage of the project envisages the organization and use of the system by the management members, allowing them to access information quickly. This system has integration to the 'Student Release System'. Together the two systems manage information of the agreements. The second phase of the project aims to enable the student to enter their requests for access to the benefits of the agreements established by the UAEM with other universities worldwide. In addition, UAEM plans to implement an Application Monitoring process in a short term (according to different categories) which has several levels of approval that depends on academic spaces, different secretariats and governing approvals in many cases.

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.

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.
