admin The manufacturing landscape has witnessed a revolutionizing change over the course of the by-gone decades. With the IT revolution and the corresponding growth of the informatics sector, manufacturing has lost its strategic position. However, the sector remains a crucial determinant of the economic standing of any country. As this sector braces for a renewed, automated future of growth, the position of certain key players have altered. Today, the US is no longer the manufacturing powerhouse in the world as it used to be.
Advantech is a leading brand in IoT intelligent systems, Industry 4.0, machine automation, embedded computing, embedded systems and many other core sectors which are at the heart of the American economy. The corporate vision embodied by the venture is simplistically expressed as – Enabling an Intelligent Planet and working towards bringing manufacturing back to America with the most advanced automation solutions in the world.
An Unwavering Commitment
Led by Dr. Allan Yang, Advantech’s Chief Technology Officer, the team has worked relentlessly to create value for customers and humankind alike. The unwavering motivation to excel emerges from the drive to effectively win back the manufacturing crown for America through the establishment of industry 4.0. Advantech is inspired by the belief that automation- led by Industry 4.0- can become a golden bridge between manufacturing and delivering world-class products. Innovation has been the central tenet for the firm ever since its inception. It believes that by merging with the innovative industrial cloud service business model, the third wave of the digital revolution has officially kicked off to successfully transform industries.
Curating a Staged Growth Trajectory
Advantech partners with clients through three phases to help them realize the boundless potential of the automation revolution. To facilitate smart manufacturing, Advantech implements the use of iFactories and iMachinery.
- In the first phase of the implementation of equipment connectivity, devices, machines, production lines and factories are connected to a central system. Data transparency as well as information visualization is central to this initial stage.
- In the second phase, data collection and integration, as well as value-added products and services are introduced for smart manufacturing services.
- The final phase of intelligent innovative services is the enabling of intelligent machinery and big data analysis. Companies realize the power of automation by using the big data to predict the failure rate of machines, products and build a truly self-governing factory in the future.
IIoT solutions must be able to integrate the collection of industrial equipment data based on a variety of standards with edge device management, wireless communication, and data analysis – Dr. Allan Yang, Chief Technology Officer Advantech
Cloud-Based Brilliance for IIoT Solutions
Advantech uses a data-driven architecture incorporated with cloud platform service technologies as its core to create the WISE-PaaS industrial cloud platform.

This allows Advantech and its partners to swiftly deploy a variegated range of IIoT solutions for clients.
Fueling Efficiency through Automation
Advantech helps clients augment their potential and achieve unmatched feats of success by helping them effectively adopt automation including robotics, video inspection equipment, etc. that in turn help curb the use of manual resources. By connecting the machines to the cloud, real-time status monitoring and supervision is simplified. The sensors can be effectively implemented to perfect the final product. Advantech has installed these technical changes in its own plants as well as those of its clients. It has documented proof that since 2016, their production value has increased by 16.9% and it has reduced energy consumption by 7.8%. Additionally, the innovative touch of automation has helped them increase the machine utilization in an average of 15%.
SRP Launch
Currently, Advantech is in the process of announcing the co-creation of IoT Solution Ready Packages (SRPs) which involves co-creating with various domestic and international companies. These SRPs can then be installed by system integrators at the client site. Eventually, IIoT industry chains will be formed as SRPs become established as comprehensive field solutions.
