In fact, we already bought the USB metal hubs. 
We prefer metal for fire protection.

Thanks for the input about Lynxmotion. 

These Arduino based devices are really great.
We already have a 3D printer here controled by Arduino and it is great.

I will probably buy a robotic arm ASAP to test insertion of USB token.
With the 3D printer, I can print a stand for 10 units and move them one
by one the the hub for initialization. 

Great :)

Good shot. I did not think of it. 

But I think I found a software solution based on USBip.
I will keep an eye on this solution.

Kind regards,
