TurnItOn

inLab FIB develops the TurnItOn tool. Based on the Tesla project, and conceived as an improvement on it, it is a tool that facilitates remote working through a system for remotely switching computer equipment on and off. The solution allows employees to switch on their office computers from any location, without the need for them to remain permanently powered on.

The project stems from the need to facilitate remote access to the organisation’s workstations and IT resources, especially in environments where employees work off-site. With TurnItOn, users can power on their computers when they need to and access them remotely to continue working in their usual environment.

In addition to simplifying access to corporate resources and promoting work flexibility, this solution helps reduce equipment energy consumption by preventing devices from having to remain on throughout the working day or outside working hours when not in use, while also automating shutdown to curb energy waste.
