K VM in the chemical industry ► Centralising computers moving them out of control rooms In the chemical industry, safety is extremely important. Several control centres monitor all production processes and systems, record their values and analyze them. If necessary, the team working in the control room must be able to react within seconds. Thus, control rooms in the chemical industry are always a sensitive area. Critical processes and sensitive data need to be monitored continuously.
ControlCenter-Digital the modular matrix switch Adapts with your application Completely modular KVM matrix switch lets users operate multiple computers via multiple different workstations Modular design consisting of replaceable input/output cards, switch card, controller card, three redundant power packs and two fan boards Signals transmitted via CAT cables and optical fibres even when combined Comprehensive switchable signals: Keyboard, video, mouse, USB 2.
K VM for energy suppliers ► Reliable products for 24/7 operation Every day, energy suppliers provide power, gas and heat to millions of people. Here, everything needs to work without any interruptions – 24/7, 365 days a year. In addition to securing the voltage level and the load distribution, employees in the control room are responsible for monitoring all resources. Complex control centres and data management systems require many computers and various peripherals.
Always on the safe side with Monitoring & SNMP G&D KVM matrix switches provide a monitoring feature to detect and view system statuses. Via network, system administrators can access every device over a web interface providing an overview of the system status and the connected peripherals. Take a look at our references. Whenever defined statuses are changed or thresholds (e.g. temperature) are exceeded, the web interface of the particular device shows a warning message.
K VM in the paper industry ► Optimised working conditions in control rooms Producing paper requires up to 60 steps that need to be constantly monitored. Due to the rough production environment, valuable computer equipment needs to be stored in clean and cool technology rooms. From here, KVM extender systems like DVIVision extend the computer signals to the workplaces. KVM extenders consist of a transmitter, the computer module, and a receiver, the user module (for example DVIVision-CPU and DVIVIsionCON).

K VM in the automotive industry ► Improving working conditions for humans and computers In the automotive industry, high quality is a basic requirement. All production steps are closely monitored, evaluated and analysed. Production 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 extremely important. KVM carries out an important task in the automotive industry.

DisplayPort and VGA System transmits a total length of 560 m over CAT cables (when cascaded) or 10,000 m over optical fibres Variants with 64, 32 or 16 dynamic ports that can be configured as computer port or as user port Brilliant video resolutions up to 1920 × 1200 @ 60Hz incl.
K VM in medical applications ► Improving the working conditions of medical staff In the medical field, IT installations are required in practices, clinics for special diagnostics or simulation rooms. Regardless of the individual characteristics or requirements, they all have one thing in common: The medical staff requires a user-friendly and ergonomic environment to be able to focus on their tasks and make the right decisions.
How KVM improves medical IT installations Full control of all processes even from remote locations Remote access to information, programs and examination applications makes work more efficient User-friendly and ergonomic workplaces without wasted heat and noise from computers let users focus on their work IT administrators have easy access to maintain computers Saves space by removing computers into server racks Clean rooms are not polluted by computer emissions No dust from computer fans, the working envir
K VM in traffic control ► Enabling progress If you’ve ever placed your computer outside of your office, you might be aware of the noise produced by powerful equipment. Being constantly exposed to noise and heat emissions affects the work of every employee. Being able to scale and expand any IT installation is a relevant issue in traffic centres. Space and the number of ports play an important role.

K VM 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.
Take a look at our references With a matrix switch, multiple remote user stations can simultaneously access all computers in the technology room. In addition to extending and switching computer signals, the matrix switch provides comprehensive safety and configuration features. But even if a computer is assigned to one employee alone, KVM extenders provide an ideal solution by using optical fibres.
Leading the way in digital KVM Versatile K VM equipment KVM Extenders KVM Switches With DVI and VGA KVM extenders, you can extend the access to your computers to up to 10,000m and still work in real time. Extender systems consist of two units – a computer module (transmitter) and a user module (receiver). A local console at the transmitter module in the technology room lets the IT staff easily maintain the computers.
KVM Matrix Switches KVM Add-Ons With KVM matrix switches, you can operate multiple computers from multiple consoles. They consist of computer modules, central modules and user modules. Depending on your requirement, you can choose between compact and modular KVM matrix switches. They transmit the following computer signals: Add-on products increase the productivity of your KVM application.
