Labs at home

To promote academic continuity, at the Tecnológico de Monterrey this “Lab at home” platform for the subject of industrial networks was proposed with which students can download the Laboratory on their own laptop and do the Laboratory practices from home, without need to connect to the internet or move. The “Lab at home” tool is being used on all the Tecnológico de Monterrey campuses in the career of mechatronic engineering with a reach of 940 students experiencing this new way of using the Laboratory. “Lab at home” has a simulated machine library that includes a four-story elevator, a Cartesian robot, a manufacturing process line and a raffle of the same products that can be downloaded and used in the practices.
Based on the development of Virtual Machines for the emulation of manufacturing processes, Lab at Home allows students to have on their laptop a complete laboratory environment for process automation.

According to the Center for Global Higher Education, at University College London, these are the countries that have the best universities in Latin America, Chile (17), Mexico (13) and Colombia (11) and Brazil (50). However, these institutions suffer because they have to invest year after year in renovating their infrastructure to have a quality educational offer and to be able to remain attractive and attract new students. The decision to study or not to study at a university is almost always linked to economic factors, which forces institutions to innovate in teaching. According to UNESCO in Latin America there are 32 million illiterates, which represented 4% of the total world population. With this solution we intend to cover two aspects:

1.-Lower the costs of equipping the universities, which would allow reducing their costs and expanding their coverage in scholarships.
2.- That the student have a toolkit that allows him to have access to simulated practices with disruptive technology.

Currently it has only been implemented in the 14 campuses of the Monterrey technology company, the HDU university in China, and it is intended to reach public agencies in México.

We try to provide the student or student with a kid of tools to download from a web link on a mobile electronic device, laptop or tablet in order to be able to execute them and have access to a simulated environment of virtual machines that simulate the machines that I would have an engineering laboratory equipped with mechatronics.

With this solution the student will be able to carry out their learning in the comfort of their home practicing in an environment similar to the real one, where the result is uncertain, according to their performance.

This solution would impact all the universities in Latin America, since it would help lower the costs of laboratory infrastructure in the universities that offer engineering degrees and would give an option to those that do not offer these degrees because they do not have laboratories where they can do their internships. revolutionizing distance education, expanding educational coverage and making it easier for more students to receive first-rate distance education.

There is no solution that allows you to operate a laboratory in a physical environment from your computer, that is, to be able to have a virtual-face-to-face experience of the laboratory machines from your home. For example, in catastrophes or pandemics such as COVID-19, it has become an indispensable work and learning tool for education.

Because the educational gap is present in all Latin America and this is a way to directly attack the problem with proven technological tools.

currently 1500
next year 2000
In 5 years, 4000 people

Establish a company that allows incorporating more topics on the platform so that it is not limited to engineering so that in 5 years we can have worldwide penetration.

We have limited resources which makes it difficult for us to grow

We try to sell our technology with some training organizations to raise funds for research and growth

There is a great market in Latin America made up of more than 3,000 universities, which represents a great market for our technology.

Because we have developed and perfected these tools while successfully implementing for 12 years for 2 years.

Neither

Project sales, maintenance and upgrades

Because I believe that Latin America is a place that needs a lot of support and needs projects like the one I am proposing, in addition to the fact that I want to enter the Latin American market and be able to benefit many students who only have access to distance education

I would like to partner with universities or educational centers that want to invest in adopting the project for the benefit of their students.
