Chung Yuan Christian University's R&D Center for Smart Manufacturing Integrates ASTROS Solutions

The R&D Center for Smart Manufacturing at Chung Yuan Christian University (CYCU) in Taoyuan, Taiwan, is a dynamic hub dedicated to fostering talent and advancing smart manufacturing solutions.

The Challenge

At CYCU's R&D Center, the classroom is equipped with industrial-grade machinery and two large screens, each composed of four 4K monitors. These screens were frequently used by students to present their projects, but with only one computer connected, their presentation options were limited.

Previously, students had to save their presentation files to this single computer before presenting. If someone wanted to share content directly from a smartphone or tablet, they had to set up an additional display that supported AirPlay or Chromecast. This cumbersome process took up valuable class time, leading to inefficient discussions.

Moreover, the center’s advanced instructional tools, including augmented reality (AR) applications developed by students to monitor machine operations via QR codes, faced significant hurdles. Sharing this innovative content on the main screens was a challenge, stifling the potential for interactive learning.

Recognizing these limitations, the R&D Center decided it was time to explore a more flexible, wireless presentation solution.

The Solution

Enter the ASTROS Station. With its integration, both professors and students at CYCU's R&D Center can now fully harness their creativity and productivity in smart manufacturing projects.

The ASTROS Station allows seamless sharing from laptops, MacBooks, Android smartphones, and iPhones. Regardless of the device, users can effortlessly project their work onto the classroom screens. The Split Screen feature further enhances collaboration by enabling up to four devices to share content simultaneously, facilitating comparisons and richer discussions.

Switching between content or initiating a presentation is now smooth and swift, significantly improving the interaction between professors and students. This wireless presentation solution has not only enhanced collaboration but also boosted the overall efficiency of the classroom environment.

The straightforward setup of ASTROS wireless presentation tools ensures that teachers and students can maximize their time in class, contributing to a smarter, more connected learning experience.
