The new SABIC Academy contains 30 meeting rooms and hosts a wide variety of learning programs, including workshops, summits and training classes every day. Most of the time, everything needs to be handled by only one person within a short response time. Therefore, it is important for the Academy to utilize an efficient way to manage meeting rooms and schedule all training programs.
Instead of using bulletin boards, SABIC deploys 17” LCD screens (Flush Mount) in the wall outside 30 meeting rooms, along with CAYIN’s digital signage solutions. The screen clearly and dynamically indicates the meeting topic, start time, and duration of the meeting taking place in that room. Therefore, enrolled trainees can locate the correct class and meeting room easily.
Each screen connects to one CAYIN SMP-WEB4 digital signage player and is managed centrally via CAYIN’s meetingPost software. meetingPost is especially designed for the needs of meeting rooms and multipurpose halls that require flexible arrangement on the events and programs as well as frequent update on the information post. Equipped with a room booking system, meetingPost enables administrators to process online booking for meeting and banquet rooms. All events can be arranged on monthly and weekly calendars.
Therefore, SABIC Academy can edit a meeting list for each meeting room in advance. The screen outside each room will show the correct meeting information automatically at the right time. For impromptu meetings or room changes, the administrator can also input meeting information remotely in the office without running back and forth in the building to change the post. Just one click to submit data and the information will instantly display on the screen.
“This is the first learning center in Saudi Arabia to use this technology to manage all meeting rooms completely,” said Mr.Yousef Abdul Hadi Projects Manager of SMARTECH AV Co. “We are honored to be selected as the main partner to supply all AV and Digital Signage with room schedule systems for the first smart learning academy in Saudi Arabia.”

In addition to the 30 meeting rooms, SABIC Academy also installs three 51” LCD screens in the main entrance, two for the auditorium, and two for the multipurpose hall to increase the reach of the Academy’s public announcements. With the help of CAYIN lobbyPost software, SABIC can select a template, enter data, and immediately show high quality video, tickers, web pages, pictures, weather information, and even live TV programs from the satellite.
World-Class Learning Center
SABIC Academy is an important education facility for the nation to develop industry leaders in the petrochemical industry. Riyadh Gov. Prince Sattam even opened the new SABIC Academy at the headquarters of Saudi Basic Industries Corporation in Riyadh on March 20, 2012.
