The Challenge
Trinity Grammar School, an independent boys school in Sydney, Australia, faced a significant challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic. With the suspension of in-person classroom teaching, the school had to quickly pivot to a remote learning program. This transition necessitated an efficient and effective way to check the attendance of over 2000 students at the start of each school day. The school's existing digital tools used for marking attendance in classrooms were evaluated, but configuring them for online use was not practical. The school needed a solution that could be implemented swiftly and accurately to ensure students were participating in online activities each day.
About The Customer
Trinity Grammar School is an independent boys school established in 1913. Located in Sydney’s inner west, the school has more than 2000 students, a staff of 400, and three campuses. The school is committed to delivering best-practice learning experiences for students and uses a mix of ICT resources to support classroom and administrative activities. For the past nine years, Trinity has worked with technology partner Synergy to deploy a range of technologies including a Canvas Learning Management System and a Synergetic school management system.
The Solution
In response to this challenge, Trinity Grammar School, supported by technology partner Synergy, turned to Nintex Workflow Cloud. The school's ICT team created an attendance registration form on Nintex Workflow Cloud that connects with the school system’s Microsoft SQL database. The new system was fully operational in just two days. With the new system in place, students were asked to confirm their attendance at 8:25am each school day. More than 1,600 middle and senior-school students accessed the form via the school’s Canvas learning management platform to register their presence each school day. Nintex Workflow Cloud was an appealing choice for Trinity as it provided the ability to configure single sign-on capabilities, making the attendance process seamless for students.

Leveraging the IoT to Gain a Competitive Edge in International Competition
Many large manufacturers in and outside Japan are competing for larger market share in the same space, expecting a growing demand for projectors in the areas of entertainment, which requires glamor and strong visual performance as well as digital signage that can attract people’s attention. “It is becoming more and more difficult to differentiate ourselves with stand-alone hardware products,” says Kazuyuki Kitagawa, Director of Service & Support at Panasonic AVC Networks. “In order for Panasonic to grow market share and overall business, it is essential for us to develop solutions that deliver significant added value.” Panasonic believes projection failure and quality deterioration should never happen. This is what and has driven them to make their projectors IoT-enabled. More specifically, Panasonic has developed a system that collects data from projectors, visualizes detailed operational statuses, and predicts issues and address them before failure occurs. Their projectors are embedded with a variety of sensors that measure power supply, voltage, video input/ output signals, intake/exhaust air temperatures, cooling fan operations, and light bulb operating time. These sensors have been used to make the projector more intelligent, automatically suspending operation when the temperature rises excessively, and automatically switching light bulbs. Although this was a great first step, Panasonic projectors were still not equipped with any capability to send the data over a network.
