High-Capacity iPad Charging with USB-C — Deployed Across Classrooms
American International School (AIS), Chennai required a reliable, high-capacity charging solution for their iPad fleet. The school's IT department, led by Mr. Chandrashekhar, evaluated and selected RIFE India's charging cabinets — featuring fast-charging USB-C ports — to manage device readiness across multiple classrooms.

The Challenge
AIS Chennai operates a large iPad deployment across classrooms and needed a centralised charging solution that could handle high device counts simultaneously. The school required fast-charging capability via USB-C ports to ensure iPads were fully charged and classroom-ready each morning, without tangled cables or unsecured devices.
The RIFE Solution
RIFE India supplied high-capacity iPad charging cabinets equipped with USB-C fast-charging ports. The cabinets were designed for secure overnight charging, with individual slots for each device, cable management built in, and a robust steel enclosure suited to a school environment.
Smart Charging: Timer & Sequence Technology
What sets RIFE charging cabinets apart is the built-in Timer Control and Sequence Charging system — engineered specifically for large institutional deployments like schools and universities.
⏱ Timer Control
Set a defined charging window — for example, 10 PM to 6 AM. The cabinet automatically powers on and off, preventing overcharging and protecting long-term battery health across every iPad in the fleet.
🔄 Sequence Charging
Instead of charging all devices at once, the cabinet charges devices in groups — one batch at a time in a rotating sequence. This staggers the electrical load intelligently across the charging cycle.
Why Sequence Charging Matters for Schools
- Prevents circuit overload — no risk of tripping breakers in older school buildings
- Extends battery lifespan — staggered charging reduces heat buildup per device
- Reduces energy consumption — peak load is spread over time, lowering electricity bills
- Scales safely — ideal for 32, 40, or 48-device cabinets where simultaneous charging is impractical
- Zero IT intervention — fully automated once programmed, no daily monitoring needed
A bulk order was placed and implemented by the IT team under Mr. Chandrashekhar's supervision, ensuring a smooth rollout across the school's classrooms.
Outcome
- All iPads charged simultaneously overnight via USB-C fast charging
- Devices secured in individual partitioned slots — no cable clutter
- Classroom-ready fleet every morning with zero manual intervention
- Timer and sequence charging protecting battery health long-term
- Bulk deployment managed efficiently by the school's IT department
