In K–12 schools, managing dozens or even hundreds of student tablets can present significant logistical challenges. Issues such as classroom clutter, device damage, and the loss of teaching time due to poor organization can all hamper the learning experience.

Implementing a purpose-built storage and charging system is a straightforward way to address these concerns. PowerGistics’ innovative systems help schools better store and charge tablets for their students.

This brief will explore some solutions that streamline device management and enhance classroom efficiency.

The solutions excel in saving space, ensuring device security, promoting student responsibility, and streamlining device deployment. The tablet management systems that follow all maximize learning time and minimize logistical problems, providing a thorough approach to enhancing the all-around educational experience for teachers and students.

1. Core20 Tower

The Core20 Tower is a comprehensive solution for 1:1 device environments, addressing the issue of bulky charging carts occupying valuable classroom space.

  • Horizontal shelving protects devices and encourages careful handling
  • Tangle-free cable management
  • Asymmetric locking door
  • Standard or USB power strips

2. TechHub6

The TechHub6 is a compact and secure solution for managing smaller sets of devices. It’s a perfect storage and charging system for places like libraries, school administrative offices, or anywhere there’s a need for a secure yet accessible location for shared or backup tablets. It is a durable desktop unit that charges devices until they’re ready for use.

  • Secures and charges up to 6 devices

  • Stores and charges up to 8 tablets
  • Organized cable management and horizontal shelf design
  • Aluminum construction
  • Ideal smaller classroom or learning station solution
