Advantech: fostering intelligence and sustainability at SPS 2022

Advantech, a global leader in industrial IoT technology, will use the SPS (Smart Production Solutions) 2022 exhibition (8-10 November, Nuremberg, Germany) to set out how its products and solutions can help enable an intelligent and sustainable planet. From Booth 370 in Hall 7, Advantech will shine the spotlight on its latest innovations for artificial intelligence (AI), wireless and wired communication, device management and data aggregation, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and robotics, and sustainability and ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance).

At SPS, the world’s leading trade fair for smart and digital automation, Advantech will showcase how manufacturing and process plants investing in its intelligent IIoT solutions will see returns both financially and environmentally. Advantech will host several partners that represent the company’s unique ‘go-to-market’ strategy. These partners, who have the technological know-how to bring to life smart automation projects, will be joined by the Advantech’s ECO-partners.

Among the technologies taking center stage on the company’s 120m2 booth will be AI. Advantech can provide a series of edge AI modules, AI inference systems, edge intelligence servers and IoT gateways to accelerate AIoT development. Hardware and software advances from Advantech and its co-creation partners are making AI at the edge even easier to implement, enabling increased performance and greater flexibility.

The company will also showcase its reliable wired and wireless communication solutions. Advantech products include industrial Ethernet switches, gateways, cellular routers, wireless access points/clients, media converters and serial device servers. All of these contribute to transmitting data securely, while monitoring and controlling networked devices.

Elsewhere on the booth, SPS visitors will discover Advantech’s device management solutions, including WISE-DeviceOn. This fast and simple to set-up IoT platform manages connected devices remotely and provides centralized management features, including data aggregation and analysis.

Those undertaking AGV and robotics projects can find out about Advantech’s broad offer for these applications at SPS 2022, including the latest industrial ATX motherboards and GPU solutions for ground control systems. The company can also provide a range of innovative products for the mobile control system and communication infrastructure, helping AGV and mobile robot developers to expedite projects and shorten time-to-market.

The common denominators among all of these solutions from Advantech are sustainability and ESG. An ongoing commitment prevails at the company to building sustainable supply chains that focus on green design, green manufacturing and green products.

Jash Bansidhar, managing director – Europe at Advantech, says: “Considering our core competitiveness and key development strategies, we aim to leverage our AIoT core competencies and smart solutions to improve machine builders gain greater efficiencies. By streamlining manufacturing process Advantech can help meet UN Sustainable Development Goals for improved energy efficiency, energy-saving in buildings and manufacturing plants, and low carbon emissions in logistics and retail.”

No single one partner’s abilities fit all possible projects, so there will be multiple partners on hand to show a variety of successful applications. SPS visitors will be able to discover more for themselves on the Advantech booth where they will also find interactive videos and a speakers’ area, providing an ideal platform for the company’s in-house experts and partners to deliver informative presentations.
