Gesab and Arthur Holm bring their technology to the PMU conference room

This room of the Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University (PMU) It has high-end technical and AV furniture from Gesab y Arthur Holm to improve decision making.

Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd Private University (PMU), Located in the Saudi city of Al Khobar and built by Saudi Arabian investors, has trusted the integrator EnPro for the audiovisual and technical equipment of your conference room.

For this project, Gesab has custom designed the furniture for the conference room, with a large oval meeting table for 33 personas. The relationship between the PMU and this company began thanks to the distributor Martin Pro ME and the integrator Enpro in this country, who have developed preliminary projects for the academic institution.

In fact, Gesab had already equipped the Security Operations Center with technical furniture and control consoles (SOC) from this university a little over a year ago.

The VIP conference room is the central space where the most important decisions of the organization are made.. Considering the dimensions of the institution's organizational chart and the growth of activities, This space required cutting-edge technology to act quickly, organized and paperless, but with all the useful information from each participant.

The main challenge of the project was to meet all technical expectations, functional and aesthetic of the client, who wanted a multifunctional space to hold small and large meetings, presentations, video conferencing, etc.

Technology, engineering and design

As the company points out, “It is important to highlight when it comes to furniture that integrates a high technological volume, and even more so when this technology is going to move inside and outside the furniture itself., such as retractable and folding monitors Arthur Holm and retractable microphones Televic, Engineering must be developed prior to manufacturing what we finally call technical furniture.”.

Specifically, each element must be positioned and considered in a model of 3D engineering that evaluates all the functionalities, movements, connections and wiring and easy access for maintenance, but always keeping an eye on comfort, usability and user performance.

To achieve, Gesab worked as a consultant with the systems integrator and the distributor, helping the client understand all the possibilities depending on the requirement and always taking aesthetics into account.

This combination of high quality materials, with technological engineering and design has been achieved with the use of 360º GIE VR immersive presentations from Gesab, which were also held in the space itself in meetings with the PMU organizational team.

control room

Although all the technological equipment in the room can be controlled from the head of the meeting table and each attendee has control over their personal space, Gesab proposed having a small annex space to control all the AV equipment during presentations or other events.

The complexity and dimensions of the project, together with the technology that had to be managed were reasons enough to create a small control room with two operators, with control consoles Advantis N.G customized to monitor all equipment and applications (screens, microphones, contents, voting and videoconferencing systems), ensuring that everything works perfectly and avoiding any problems in the VIP Room.

Open and organized space

One of the main objectives of the project was to create a paperless space in which, with the help of technology, Users could have all the information available through digital means, which also meant that their values ​​could be quantified, organize and evaluate yourself on the fly.

All of this required integrating high-end retractable and folding monitors de Arthur Holm, as well as microphones y voting systems by Televic on the large meeting table (the largest one made so far by Gesab), with some additional features.

In this last aspect, Automatic tissue and water disposal boxes have also been integrated into the table for each station. (courtesy boxes), which adds an exclusive feature to the furniture, which now makes more sense when cleaning in all spaces is a priority.

Retractable monitors

in the room, the main speaker has a monitor Dynamic3 de Arthur Holm, with an integrated retractable cable, that allows the connection of portable devices, keyboard and mouse. This team, which can be used in vertical and horizontal positions, is completely flush with the table surface.

The main speaker's space is flanked by two additional Dynamic3s to assist him during presentations.. The rest of the attendees have monitors DB2, also equipped with motorized retractable cables.

Discreet and elegant, DB2 monitors take up only 2 cm. on the table surface. Besides, los DynamicTalk have been personalized, including voting and ID card reader.

The table is surrounded by seats equipped with DynamicChairDisplay, the only retractable motorized monitor on the market to integrate into armrests. Thus, People sitting there can also comfortably view the multimedia content of the meeting.

Arthur Holm allows the adjustment and configuration of all its motorized equipment through its app AHlink (iOS y Android), that automatically detects the equipment available for control and offers specific functionalities for each product.

AHlink allows you to obtain serial numbers, adjust the systems to the length of the microphones and establish the mute function or define the color of the LED indicators in the case of DynamicTalk, check internal motion sensors, display the commands AHnet and the IP address, among others.
