Hertz is a world’s leading vehicle renting organization, operates from approximately 7,700 locations in 145 countries worldwide. They were looking to facilitate their clients with a fast, easy, intuitive way to sign agreements and receive them by email.
The Problem
Before implementing the Glory Star tablets, customers were using large amount of paper for authorizing signature documents at car rental locations. This is the reason they named the project “Paperless branch” / Digital branch. Not only does paper create additional unnecessary costs , it is cumbersome, so shifting from paper-based to a digital (secure) process shortened the lines and made the entire customer experience to a much friendly one. There was a difficulty in finding a tablet that will perfectly suite customer needs. Robustness Direct connection to electricity and lack of battery.
The Solution
The Glory Star JARVIS 10inch tablet and Comda digital signature system displays documents for the signatories and are used as a graphical signing platform. Customers can also photo other documents and certifications and attach them with the tablet camera. The entire solution integrates with Comda’s digital signature system – the server names it Signer1. The android capabilities were utilized in order to build a paper like user experience with the highest level of security.
A case study provided by our team in sales support, Marcus and Jolanda. Here they have integrated four Glory Star commercial tablets to transform their boat home to an amazing smart vehicle.
We bought our 1986 Jefferson 52 two years ago to live full time on that boat. We love the layout of the boat, but we knew that it will need some serious upgrades, on our list were the instruments for navigation and engine monitoring which were very basic. Especially the old “steam gages” did not fully function any more. In addition I wanted to have a smart home solution to control the lights and heating.
The boat is equipped with two diesel engines, one generator, diesel heaters, autopilot, radar, GPS and depth sounder.
The following items where on top of my list to update:
Control the lights and heating with a touch panel (smart home)
Electronically monitor engine parameters to verify manual gages
Update navigation plotter to be able to use the latest charts
Monitor the batteries
Display weather information
To access all the information, I set up a wireless router to connect all devices, installed an analog/digital converter and connected all sensors via a bus system (NMEA 2000).
All functionalities can be controlled and monitored by the Glory Star touch tablets.
To display and interact with all the systems I used the Glory Star VEGA (for smart home), Nebula 15” (for weather information and engine monitoring), Jarvis 10” (for battery monitoring) and the Ultron to access the navigation app. The iPad is only used for home entertainment (music).
The big advantage from the Glory Star products is that they are easy to install, commercial grade housing, runs with Android (most of the applications run on the tablets) and the touchscreen is very easy to use. Also they are not using much power, the batteries on boats are very limited.
My wife and I have been on some trips and we felt that the new setup works much better now. Of course in boating no project is ever finished so I’m planning to replace all manual gauges with touch screens and also upgrade the radio. Stay tuned for the next level for the upgrade.

CHALLENGES
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the audiovisual system available in most classrooms consisted of a projector and a wireless microphone. Since COVID-19, TP adopted HyFlex learning, allowing students to attend lessons in-person, remotely, and on-demand, addressing the dynamic shift of more lessons being conducted online. TP engaged Digiworz Pte Ltd for AV system design and integration services. Digiworz selected Extron to supply AV system switching, distribution, control, and audio equipment to implement the HyFlex upgrades.
Full Teams® Room solutions are rare in Singapore’s educational institutions. We broke new ground with this Teams-based HyFlex AV system design. Extron’s unwavering on-site and remote support got us through every challenge encountered. The end product is an AV system that provides TP lecturers and students with smooth, effective HyFlex teaching and learning experiences that work reliably every day.
DESIGN SOLUTION
Unified Communications Via Microsoft Teams
Ten learning spaces of various sizes and layouts received HyFlex AV system makeovers. The systems are built around the Lenovo ThinkSmart® Core for Microsoft Teams Rooms unified communication (UC) engine. They handle transmission of audio and video between the classrooms and remote students and include built-in Teams application software. The Teams application provides a user interface via a touchscreen control panel to manage interactions between the classrooms and remote students. All Teams application features are available, including session scheduling, session video recording/transcription, screen sharing, chat, file transfer, user reaction emojis (e.g., hand-raising), etc. Classroom AV content processed by the UC engine includes video from the lecturer’s document camera, lesson presentation content from the lecturer’s laptop, video from a classroom interactive display, views of the classroom from PTZ cameras, and sound from classroom microphones. Remote students using computers equipped with webcams have complete telepresence in the classrooms. Remote students are seen and heard by the people in the classroom and vice versa. Completing the HyFlex paradigm, the Teams application records class sessions and saves them on Microsoft OneDrive® or Streams® cloud storage, allowing students to access classes anytime on-demand.
Classroom Displays
Each HyFlex room is equipped with an 86″ touchscreen interactive display that serves as a whiteboard, a standard 86″ secondary display, and a 65″ confidence monitor display. The 86″ displays are wall-mounted for viewing by the students. The 65″ display is mounted on the wall opposite the lectern, providing a direct line-of-sight view for the lecturer.
An MGP 641xi multi-window processor completes the HyFlex experience. It creates multi-window layouts to display up to four video sources on in-room and far-end screens. The multi-window content can include lecture content, images from in-room PTZ cameras, and images from remote students’ webcams.
PTZ Cameras and Beamforming Microphone Arrays
Ceiling mounted beamforming microphone arrays in each classroom capture the voices of lecturers and students. The microphones provide audio to the UC engine to send to remote students. The directional sound from the beamforming microphones allows for automatic PTZ camera tracking of those speaking. There are multiple cameras to capture student activity around the classroom, as well as the lecturer. A DMP Plus audio DSP processor performs acoustical echo cancellation for remote students. Those in the room hear sound through eightSoundField® ceiling speakers driven by a 100-watt four-channel XPA amplifier.
AV System Control
An IPCP Pro control processor integrates with the ThinkSmart UC engine to perform room AV control. The control processor includes LinkLicense for User Interfaces, which allows the ThinkSmart touchpanel at the lectern to work seamlessly with the control processor to operate the AV system. An IP Link® power controller allows the AV system to be turned on and off from the touchpanel.
RESULTS
In line with TP’s Digitalization Plan of fostering a digitally driven educational ecosystem to enable learning in a highly personalized and flexible manner, HyFlex classrooms have given the institution the ability to offer learning options previously unavailable.
The HyFlex classroom learning system facilitates both face-to-face and remote lessons simultaneously. This provides flexibility and convenience for our students to either attend lessons on site or remotely in the comfort of their home.
TP shared with Terence Toh, Assistant Sales Director, Digiworz Pte Ltd that, “The HyFlex classroom learning system facilitates both face-to-face and remote lessons simultaneously. This provides flexibility and convenience for our students to either attend lessons on site or remotely in the comfort of their home. One of the great features of the HyFlex Teams Rooms is that the lessons are recorded. This is an extremely useful feature for our students because they are able to play back lessons for revisions or to catch up if they have missed a lesson.”
This initiative aligns with TP’s focus to become a fully digital institution through its Digitalization Plan (DP). The core motivation of the DP is aimed at improving student and graduate outcomes. Through the DP initiative, TP seeks to fully leverage technologies to create new and greater possibilities.

Sakura Nursery School Selects TAURI Temperature Check Tablet for Fast, Stress-less, Autonomous Scanning
After experiencing stressful and time-consuming temperature checks that caused traffic jams and lack of proper social distancing the Sakura Nursery School in Japan, selected the TAURI Temperature Check tablet. TAURI is a patented-pending contactless, highly accurate tablet that instantly and autonomously screens the school’s 370 kindergarten students and doubles as a messaging/digital signage system.
“The response to TAURI has been extremely positive,” said Masahiro Hori, Sakura’s principal. “The children happily check their temperature every morning. The parents have said they’re glad that it has reduced the amount of time it takes to do checks, and teachers have one less job to do in the morning. In this aspect, they are back to their pre-COVID-19 work routine.”
The Solution
TAURI combines Glory Star’s expertise of creating and programming commercial-grade tablet solutions with the leading sensor hardware to create a fast, worry-free, and healthy experience. Because TAURI is tablet, it feels familiar and sets users at ease. A student simply walks up to the tablet and it intelligently detects their face from up to three feet away. It automatically begins scanning. Results are delivered in less than 3 seconds. The tablet’s sensor and body heat algorithm ensure a temperature accuracy with a tolerance of +/- 0.5 degrees Fahrenheit (+/- 0.3 degrees Celsius) and a refresh rate of 64Hz.
TAURI solved numerous impediments for Sakura. It eliminated the need for another person to perform scans and prevents any contact with skin. As a result, it helps adhere to social distancing measures while promoting clean surfaces. What’s more, the speed at which it detects helps the school prevent long queues of students and cars. Teachers, students, and parents are able to proceed quickly on with their day with no interruptions.
For many schools, technology purchases need to provide long-lasting benefits to optimize budgets. With that in mind, Glory Star designed TAURI benefits to extend beyond a simple temperature check device. It functions as an affordable, easy-to-use digital signage screen, providing a long-term solution with a greater ROI. When the organization no longer needs to scan temperatures, the capability can be deactivated. The signage feature can continue to provide parents and students with important reminders, information, or sponsor campaigns.
