AMX has announced Rapid Project Maker (RPM) – a cloud-based application that lets installers configure an AMX system online, using a step-by-step wizard-based approach. Simplifying more than just the configuration, RPM is described as a comprehensive tool designed to help throughout the entire project, from start to finish. With no programming required, installers can configure an integrated conference room, consisting of an AMX Controller, a videoconferencing system, DVD player, display and a laptop, in less than an hour.
RPM both simplifies single room deployments, and also automatically adjusts to the technology and functionality selected each time a project is configured. Client branding was also taken into consideration with dedicated space available for the client’s logo in the finished UI.
“RPM is a feature rich tool that enables system programmers with little or no AMX programming experience to implement control solutions for meeting rooms, teaching spaces and lecture/presentation venues,” said AMX chief technology officer Robert Noble. “It also functions as a time saving tool for seasoned designers who need to rapidly design and deploy solutions.”
Being cloud-based, RPM allows installers to access their projects remotely. Saving and managing a project’s files online at AMX.com reduces on-site service calls and facilitates sharing of resources within an organisation. RPM generates installation and purchasing documentation in addition to complete controller code and touchpanel files to make the configuration process more convenient.
