KVM in the steel industry ►
Increasing the efficiency by accessing computers remotely
Whenever multiple production processes take place and need to be
monitored and operated from various locations, KVM products are an
essential part of the IT installation. The steel industry poses special
challenges to any equipment in use: All products must be ready to
face a rough environment.
The equipment needs to be extremely robust, reliable, fail-proof and
intuitive to operate. On top of dealing with the extreme environment,
KVM devices must be able to resist interference radiation and work
reliably without any failures. In addition, control rooms require a large
number of computers, many peripherals as well as other hardware.
To optimize both the production processes and the ones in the control
room, the computers are moved out of the control room and into
central server racks. An important advantage of applying KVM de-
vices: Especially at large production sites with distributed locations,
IT administrators can access the computers from one room to keep
downtimes and configurations to a minimum.
Ideal to be used in the steel industry:
KVM extender LWLVisionn
KVM extender FIBREVision
KVM matrix switch ControlCenter-Digital
KVM matrix switch DVICenter
KVM matrix switch CATCenter
If a 1:1 connection for process control is no longer sufficient (ex-
tender principle), you can increase the accessibility of the system
significantly by installing a matrix switch.
FIBREVision – KVM extenders via optical fibres
Signal transmission of distances up to 10,000 m
Multi-monitor workstations possible
Crystal clear images
Remote power switching to remotely turn on/off computers
Screen-Freeze function in case the connection is interrupted
