The Challenge
Middlesbrough College, located in England’s Tees Valley, was faced with the challenge of providing its music technology students with a solid foundation in the hardware and software used by audio professionals. The goal was to equip these students with the necessary skills to thrive in a highly competitive and demanding industry. The college needed to ensure that its students were not only familiar with the tools used in the industry but also proficient in their use. This required the college to have access to industry-standard tools and the ability to effectively teach students how to use them.
About The Customer
Middlesbrough College is a higher education institution located in England’s Tees Valley. The college offers advanced music courses and is committed to helping its students gain a foothold in the highly competitive music industry. As an Avid Learning Partner, Middlesbrough College’s students learn how to compose, record, edit, and mix music using many of the same tools that industry professionals depend on. The college’s degree courses are accredited by Teesside University, and it is rated as having one of the best college campuses in the UK. The college’s commitment to providing its students with industry-standard tools and training is evident in its significant investment in the Avid MediaCentral Platform.
The Solution
To address this challenge, Middlesbrough College leveraged the Avid Learning Program to introduce new elements of the Avid MediaCentral Platform. This included the flexible and versatile Avid S6 control surface and the latest version of the industry-leading Pro Tools | HD software. The college invested in two Avid Pro Tools | S6 control surfaces, which are trusted by top audio professionals in the most demanding production and studio environments. The S6 offers superior ergonomics and intelligent control, allowing students to gain hands-on experience with professional-grade equipment. The college also utilized Pro Tools | HD 12 across its three “Music Laboratories” and five control rooms, providing students with extensive access to comprehensive tools and workflow solutions.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
