"KES P2P Link" is a secure remote connection service that can accommodate a wide range of scenarios in response to the rapidly increasing demand for remote control. Unlike typical VPN routers, there are no cumbersome device settings or unsupported applications. You can use your computer and the applications running on it as if they were connected to the same LAN. By simply installing dedicated gateways for both the master and slave devices, you can complete the setup of a remote system. For example, by connecting a PLC to the master device and a PC with ladder software installed to the slave device, you can remotely write to the PLC's ladder. Using a dedicated app, configurations of master to slave 1:n, n:1, and n:n are also possible. Since it connects without using a global IP address and is serverless, secure remote access can be easily achieved. *If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

A visualization solution for storage/delivery temperature and location information is... When delivering products or equipment that require temperature management, it ensures the delivery of products to clients while maintaining quality. This is an IoT solution that enables temperature management. There has been a 80% cost reduction achieved by migrating from existing cloud services to Microsoft Azure. This system is adopted in the sales scenes of medical devices and pharmaceuticals. Since the degradation of quality in medical devices and pharmaceuticals directly impacts human life, thorough temperature management is essential. Products are delivered to clients from temperature-controlled warehouses through delivery personnel. By placing GPS and temperature sensors inside delivery coolers containing medical devices and pharmaceuticals, temperature management and tracking of delivery routes can be achieved. By visualizing this in the cloud, it contributes to preventing quality degradation and enhancing client trust.
