A school day runs on the bell. When it rings late, early or not at all, every class, every teacher and every student pays for it.
The problem: the human bell
- Late bells. The person ringing the bell is busy, away or watching the wrong clock.
- Missed bells. A period runs into the next and the timetable slips for the rest of the day.
- Clocks that drift. Wall clocks and old timers slowly run fast or slow.
- Special days. Exam days, half days and winter timings get mixed up.
- Lost teaching time. Five minutes lost per period is more than half an hour lost per day.
The solution: RoboticBell
- Exact timing. Bells ring on a schedule kept accurate to the second.
- Stored on the device. The schedule lives on the bell itself, so it keeps ringing when the internet is down.
- Saved schedules. Regular, exam, winter and other timetables are saved and switched in one tap.
- Dual Zone on Ultimate models runs two timetables at once, for example primary and high school.
Benefits
- Every period starts and ends on time, every day.
- Teaching time is protected.
- Students learn punctuality from the school itself.
- No staff member is tied to the clock.
Advantages
- Over a manual bell: no human error, no forgotten bells.
- Over a basic timer: timetable changes from your phone, with no technician visit.
- Over phone-app bells: runs on its own hardware, so it doesn't depend on a phone left switched on.
Use cases
- Board exam weeks: switch to the exam schedule the evening before.
- Winter timings: one tap on the first day of winter hours.
- Primary and secondary on one campus with different periods: Dual Zone.
