Improving working conditions for humans and computers
KVM extender FIBREVision – Extend computer signals over
optical fibres. Computer access from remote workstations (max.
distance: 10,000 m)
KVM switch DVIMUX – Switch to operate up to eight compu-
ters from one workstation
KVM matrix switch DVICenter – Access many computers from
different consoles; all common computer signals can be integrated
In the automotive industry, high quality is a basic requirement. All
production steps are closely monitored, evaluated and analysed. Pro-
duction down-times or, even worse, system failures can have fatal
consequences. All processes are monitored, analysed and optimised
from a central control room. Here, safety and continuity are extreme-
ly important.
KVM carries out an important task in the automotive industry. In the
control room of factories producing cars, KVM products are the „invi-
sible“ supporters in the background – always there and always ready
to use. Wherever many processes have to be controlled and monito-
red at the same time, many computers are required.
KVM optimizes the work in the control room by helping remove com-
puters into separate technology rooms. The computers are accessed
remotely – without any delays or loss of quality, as if the computers
were still placed in the same room. This creates optimal conditions
for employees and machines. Now the control room staff can conti-
nue their work without being exposed to the heat emissions and loud
background noises of the computers.
The remote computers are connected to a matrix switch, a DVICenter
DP64, for example. The computer signals are extended via the exis-
ting cable infrastructure (CAT5) over distances up to 300 m. With
DVI-FiberLink modules, optical fibres can be used to transmit data.
Now the system range of consoles or remote control rooms can be
expanded to up to 10,000 m. IT administrators are able to assign
every user with individual user rights and configurations. And if a
computer should be assigned to a certain employee, the computer
signals can be extended as 1:1 connection using a KVM extender
system, e.g. a DVIVision.
