Remote working is no longer a stranger to anyone, it creates unprecedented challenges that require new technological solutions. Recently, the global environment has been changing at lightning speed, requiring immediate action.
Remote access to data, equipment and systems is the perfect solution to manage production processes and analyse data quickly and anywhere in the world. It should be noted that this process is cyber-secure. You may ask, how is this possible? We can answer in one word: TOSIBOX®.
We have already talked about remote access devices before, but this time we have arranged an interview with Marks Viškins from AS “Biotehniskais centrs”, who is convinced of the benefits of Tosibox, as he has been using the product in his company for more than 8 years.
1. Tell us about your company and the industry you represent!
AS “Biotehniskais centrs” is engaged in the design and manufacture of equipment in the field of biotechnology. These machines are used in a wide range of biotechnology research and production processes.
2. How did you decide to implement Tosibox solutions?
Once we have built and installed the equipment for our customers, it doesn't stop there.

4. How long did it take to set up your eco-structure?
The structure has grown and continues to grow with the increasing number of clients.

Safe, secure and simple remote connection.

10. What are the farthest points you have connected to using Tosibox?
Further customer installations that we have connected to with Tosibox come from countries such as Iran and the United Arab Emirates, and of course from European countries.

I definitely recommend Tosibox solutions to all manufacturers of equipment and systems, in any industry, who want to use remote service.
12. What should I know if I decide to buy Tosibox?
If you are planning to implement Tosibox in your company, it would be advisable to know the basics of network organisation.
13. How do you rate the costs of implementing/using Tosibox compared to the benefits?
It is difficult to assess in monetary terms at the moment, it has to be looked at in the long term, but regarding the benefits, as I mentioned, we have a safe, secure and simple remote connection.
