USB Redirection Use Cases in Various Industries
FlexiHub’s powerful package of USB redirection features allows it to be used in different scenarios. It can make a difference in workplaces, services, and even industries. Here are some practical use cases that demonstrate how to get the most out of this solution:
Travel time and distance can make scheduling tough for a car mechanic. But how many visits could be avoided by looking at the OBD readings first? FlexiHub allows the output of an OBD scanner to be sent over the internet, as long as the device is connected to a computer. In effect, by sending out scanners for temporary use by their clients, a technician can provide their services in multiple places at once, and only schedule a visit if a problem requires their direct presence.
FlexiHub is key to accessing smart devices and sensors over the internet, even when they are only available on a local network, or if they are connected to the web through NAT. You can control hardware from anywhere with a working connection, which has the potential to make a household truly autonomous, or centralize surveillance at a manufacturing plant or a storage facility.
Cloud services would lose a lot of utility if they only supported basic USB equipment. That’s why FlexiHub is important - it allows input from advanced COM and USB hardware, such as 3D mice and VR headsets, to be passed to a cloud platform quickly and securely. FlexiHub can also help establish a security network by connecting
biometrics scanners to a centralized cloud.
It’s not uncommon for medical ID cards to be electronic and have a USB interface. They are also, most likely, managed from a specific computer, or several of them. By using FlexiHub, it’s now possible to attach a card to a different computer, and share access to it wirelessly. This makes medical data management almost instantaneous and effortless.
Corporate and Home USB Servers
Devices that need to be shared between employees or family members can be efficiently made available to everyone on the network thanks to FlexiHub. It can help create a USB server that provides wireless access to all its connected devices. It’s extremely efficient and convenient, especially compared to physical sharing and all the problems that it entails.
