"Astellas Ireland Co. Ltd. has been using the VBOX Secure Portable Network Integration solution for some time now. It has proven to be an invaluable tool, allowing network Integration testing, usually completed at SAT phase to be performed efficiently at the FAT phase of a project, highlighting machine integration issues, and enabling rapid retesting prior to system delivery.
We have used the VBOX solution successfully in L3 Serialisation upgrades, New Production Line automation integration and Electronic Batch Record (EBR) related formulation Projects. As a result, we are more efficient in project delivery, while substantially reducing ancillary costs."
"VBOX creates a secure, portable Virtual Layer 2 encrypted connection between pre-configured VBOX units, which allows Machine Vendors with equipment set up in temporary locations to connect securely to their client’s Machine or SCADA/MES Test environments. This allows machine builders like Tekpak, whose equipment connects to their client's SCADA, MES or OEE systems to test, pre-configure and validate their equipment before it is shipped to customer sites, therefore simplifying system integration while satisfying the stringent cyber-security requirements of large corporate life-sciences companies. Most connections of this nature are Layer 3 and require significant configuration to set up and additional reconfiguration when geographically relocated.
VBOX solves this problem, as no IP reconfiguration is required, and provides seamless point-to-point or point-to-multipoint connections, and so, VBOX speeds up the integration and validation of systems that will connect to client factory networks and corporate systems."
