Background
Shanghai Meishan Iron & Steel Co., Ltd is a subsidiary of Baoshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. After 37 years of construction and development, it has formed a modern large-scale iron and steel complex integrating sintering, coking, ironmaking, steelmaking, and hot rolling, with a comprehensive production capacity of 3 million tons of steel. At the end of 2005, the company’s net assets were 9.73 billion yuan, and there were 4,802 employees.
Solution
To further improve the integrated function construction of monitoring of Meishan Iron & Steel Co., Ltd, making the informatization of Meishan Iron & Steel Production Control achieve higher development and upgrading, 4 Port Multi-View KVM Switch is the best choice because it allows users to easily move the mouse to another screen to switch to another source quickly in the quad-view mode. What’s more, it plays an important role in production, monitoring , consultation, decision-making and information feedback.
Connection
It supports cascading mode and daisy-chain mode. The users can monitor up to 16 servers via a set of keyboard and mouse connected to MH2404 and make the images displayed in up to 4 X 4 multi-view mode on the Master device. It also supports users to monitor 16 servers by using a set of keyboard and mouse via a 4 Port USB KVM Switch.
Features
Kinan 4 Port Multi-View KVM Switch takes advantage of its stability, safety, openness, generalizability, and replicability to carry out the overall planning of the production control center of the Meishan Iron & Steel, complying with public AV industry audio and video standards and protocols and safety specifications for internal and external networks.
Pain Point
To develop integrated production of Meishan Iron & Steel, the control center of its production needs to be planned by reducing investment in devices, saving space, simplifying management of computers, improving data security, and reducing maintenance costs. In this way, operators’ working experience can be improved.
Independently developed 4 Port Multi-View KVM Switch, MH2414, is used in the Control Center of Meishan Iron & Steel.
With this KVM switch, 36 servers are connected to 9 workstations via HDMI cables to extend up to 30m so that every workstation can monitor and operate 4 servers and make images displayed on the screen in the quad-view mode.
MH2414 supports 4K HD video output, with keyboard/mouse emulation, USB independent switching, audio switching and other functions. It allows users to switch different servers quickly and seamlessly and work smoothly with the mouse that can be moved to another screen easily and freely.
Therefore, MH2414 meets the needs of steel production for the use of a command center, effectively improving the production command efficiency of Meishan Iron & Steel.
