挑战
Oklahoma State University (OSU) faced the challenge of equipping both traditional and non-traditional students with the tools necessary to solve a variety of classification and prediction problems. These problems ranged from predicting diabetic illnesses based on demographic data to forecasting financial indicators like the S&P 500 and foreign exchange rates. The university needed a comprehensive data mining tool that could handle these diverse requirements while being user-friendly and cost-effective. After evaluating several leading data mining tools, OSU chose STATISTICA Data Miner for its impressive array of algorithms, graphical interface, and web-based accessibility. The tool's ability to be launched as a web application was particularly appealing, as it allowed students to access it from any web browser without needing to install client-side components.
关于客户
Oklahoma State University (OSU) is a comprehensive, land-grant university and research institution known for its focus on people and opportunity. The university serves a large population of traditional students as well as many non-traditional students who are working full-time in industry. These non-traditional students bring a wide variety of real-world classification and prediction problems to the university, making it essential for OSU to have robust data mining tools at its disposal. The university's Department of Management Science and Information Systems, led by Dr. Dursun Delen, plays a crucial role in teaching data mining to graduate IT students and conducting academic research. OSU's commitment to providing high-quality education and research opportunities makes it a leader in the field of data mining and analytics.
解决方案
OSU implemented STATISTICA Data Miner to address its diverse data mining needs. The tool was chosen for its comprehensive array of data mining algorithms, user-friendly graphical interface, and superior graphical capabilities. STATISTICA Data Miner allows users to create complete projects using graphical icons and connection arcs, which can be run all at once. The tool's web-based accessibility means that students can use it from any web browser without needing to install client-side components. This feature was particularly beneficial for non-traditional students who may not have access to university resources on a daily basis. The tool also supports parallel processing on multi-processor environments, dramatically increasing the execution speed of data mining projects. This was crucial for students who needed to meet tight deadlines. Additionally, STATISTICA Data Miner provides a rich set of data preprocessing and visualization tools, making it easier for students to analyze and interpret their data. The tool's deployment feature allows users to turn developed data mining models into production systems, further enhancing its utility for both academic and real-world applications.

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.
