Demand Analysis

Computers in the industry of production and manufacturing have provided huge benefits.They have brought massive transformations in recent years in all the aspects of manufacturing products, from planning, designing, control, distribution, processing, marketing, production, etc. They exhibit speed, accuracy, and efficiency. Since there is increased demand for manufactured goods and the timely delivery of high-quality products, the utility of information technology and computers have significantly increased now.

In the traditional mode, the production line is often equipped with some USB peripherals such as scanners, barcode printers, weighing machines, and racks.

The production line staff uses the ERP system production management system on the PC to perform real-time entry and management of various data in the production process. The traditional IT architecture has certain security risks and is complex in operation and management.

Information security cannot be guaranteed

In the traditional production workshop, a large number of PCs are needed for scanning and storing various parts, materials, equipment, products, etc. However, the production data is stored on the PC in a scattered manner. The enterprise cannot effectively control the mobile media such as the U disk. The PC is easy to become a security gap in the digital workshop and cannot meet the high standard requirements of the enterprise for information security construction.

Maintenance management is not flexible enough to seriously affect work efficiency

When the traditional PC fails, the workshop is not equipped with IT operation and maintenance personnel, and often waits for the operation and maintenance personnel to rush to the workshop to solve the problem and restart the production line, which has been delayed for several hours or more, greatly affecting production efficiency.

The operation and maintenance is complicated, and the overall input cost is high

The original business system is mainly based on physical servers and high-configuration workstations. When performing fault maintenance and unified upgrade, it needs to be maintained one by one, and the efficiency is low when the original system software is forced to be upgraded, customers need to continue to purchase expensive servers, storage, workstations, and compatible versions of industrial control software, and redesign the automation process. Every time the business system expands, customers will face severe financial pressure and huge workload.

Solution

vCloudPoint delivers an innovative shared desktop computing by combining vCloudPoint zero clients and vMatrix Server Manager software to help multiple users share one host computer and get an indistinguishable PC access experience.The vCloudPoint zero client has no moving parts and no hardware for processing and storage. Unlike PCs, they are simple and the shared host performs all the processing and storage operations. Since the remote host does the entire configuration, software operation, communication, data storage, etc.

Completely for the terminal system and no need to install local drivers, managing patches, and no software licensing fees and updates, the zero clients server only as input and output devices. The vMatrix Server Manager software runs on the host PC and enhances the complete functionality and usability of the sharing system by providing connection brokering, graphics acceleration, audio and USB redirection, and centralized management. IT management personnel can monitor, support and manage the end users and the endpoint devices centrally and simply at the server-side through the front-end console. vCloudPoint zero clients and vMatrix Server Manager software, together are more advantageous than the traditional PCs – save costs, excellent desktop performance, rich management features, reduced maintenance, enhanced security, and easy deployment.

Benefits

  • Purchase costs

    vCloudPoint zero client minimizes the purchase costs of PCs by 50%. Its power consumption is only 5W by average and only 1KW consumption for a month.

  • Components

    vCloudPoint zero clients have no easy to wear components and lack hardware maintenance issues like traditional PCs. When subjected to harsh environments like dust, moist, high temperature, and low temperature, these compact devices work fine without problems.

  • Host system

    The vCloudPoint zero clients have no local software and storage, but share the host system’s. The end users cannot run or install any unwanted software. Hence, the terminals are free of virus infection. They need no maintenance too, since all the drivers, software, system installations, updates, patches and upgrades performed on the host.

  • User data

    Since the user data is centrally stored on the shared host, data loss or leak is negative. Even if the device is missing, data remains secure. IT staff can monitor the users and prevent the usage of USB and other storage devices and copying of important data to their removable disks.

  • Data store

    The data stores in the specified disk, which is easy for the administrators to retrieve and push production data or files to the terminals. The administrator can monitor and control the terminal desktops and manage them on the host at the server-side.

  • Deploy workstation

    It is easy and simple to deploy a workstation at a production terminal within a few minutes, by just creating user accounts and connecting the zero clients. Factory administrators can easily add or remove computer workstations on demand.

  • USB devices

    The vCloudPoint zero client supports a variety of USB devices, and requires no endpoint drivers to install. You simply install the native driver in the host and the USB devices are plug-and-play at the zero clients.

  • Remote control terminal

    The server software can perform remote control terminal devices, such as power on/off, restart, etc. The zero clients can be configured with auto-login, auto-power-on and kiosk mode for the unattended access of end users.

  • Size

    The size of the zero client is small as a hand and can be mounted at the back of the monitor to save desktop footprint. The zero clients have no fans, so they make no noise when running. They consumes much less power and generate less heat when compared to PCs.
