G&O's Access Terminal | Innovative Banking Security

With over 20 years of expertise in Embedded Systems Development, Swiss-based G&O Embedded Systems has been involved in more than 200 projects for critical devices in healthcare, automation, lighting, and research applications. G&O innovated with a solution to improve bank system security through the goNet Access Terminal.

G&O’s goNet Access Terminal is a modern control system that fits into every bank’s IT and data concept. It allows simple control, monitoring, and authorized access control of customers’ bank safes. It’s a combined solution consisting of IT software and electronics with all the benefits of an integrated system. This is possible thanks to Torizon OS’s (formerly TorizonCore) architecture and Torizon’s reliable update system.

Toradex hardware helped us reduce our engineering costs and time-to-market. Because we used the Colibri iMX6 SoM and the Iris Carrier Board on the final application, we did not have to worry about solving hardware problems during the development phase or in the field.

The Torizon Cloud has proven time and time again to be an invaluable asset, especially in terms of performing operating system updates. The Offline Update feature simplifies the process of updating devices, even if they are not easily accessible online. This capability enhances the convenience and efficiency of the operations, ensuring that your devices stay up-to-date with the latest software enhancements and security patches.

With Torizon, G&O achieved positive outcomes more rapidly, streamlining the development cycles and avoiding potential roadblocks. The robust hardware, coupled with Torizon’s user-friendly features, has propelled productivity and allowed them to focus on delivering top-quality solutions to their customers.

One of the most valuable outcomes of Torizon Cloud is how simple it is to perform an OS update using the Offline Update feature, even if the devices on the field are not online accessible.
