3/31/2021

To assist various industries in swiftly deploying IoT applications, Advantech utilizes Microsoft Azure IoT and AKS services to support the upgrade of the WISE-PaaS technical architecture. This allows domain-focused solution integrator (DFSI) partners to meet their IoT deployment goals of one-time development for multiple deployments with unified operations.
Azure Drives Smart Applications with AI, Database, and IoT Services
Advantech and Microsoft Cooperate Closely with a Clear and Open Mindset

WISE-PaaS’s Three Framework Services Greatly Benefit IoT Application Deployment
Louis further elaborated on the framework services, “Visualization mainly helps Advantech’s partners, such as DFSIs, to communicate clearly through 2D and 3D views with enterprise customers in different application fields. InsightAPM provides assistance on healthcare, manufacturing and many industries to optimize equipment efficiency. Plus, they further enable equipment integration services and offer after-sale maintenance services.”
WISE-PaaS/AIFS allows Advantech to quickly upgrade regular embedded devices to Edge AI devices, helping more customers accelerate the utilization of AI for various IoT applications. Louis further explained, “Because AI’s self-learning capability enables continuous improvement on accuracy, the most important thing is life cycle management, for which AIFS collects a lot data for training and building inference engines. Therefore, if hundreds or even thousands of Edge AI devices are to be deployed in the field, AIFS can provide rapid deployment and up scaling.”
Undoubtedly, diversity and openness are keys to accelerating the promotion of smart IoT applications. Advantech will continue to sustain an open and innovative mindset and join forces with cloud service providers including Microsoft to build the underlying infrastructure for smart IoT applications. DFSIs and software developers will then be better able to support enterprises with their forward-looking smart IoT applications and deployment.
