Advantech’s device-to-cloud solution realises the possibility for edge devices to pass equipment and environmental data to cloud platforms directly. They also enable the utilisation of cloud platform tools to perform statistical analysis and visualisation of data, so that users can understand the status of the equipment and environment at a glance.
In addition to solving typical problems associated with building IoT applications, which tend to be widely distributed and composed of many devices, they also reduce inspection costs, improve immediacy, and facilitate the remote management of decentralised sites.
Achieving fault prevention
- Get Key Equipment Status in Real Time - With sensing devices connected to the cloud, the status of equipment can be automatically returned to the cloud platforms and/or control site for the real-time monitoring operating status.
- Manage Remote and Distributed Station - Constructing a sensing network allows for the central management of environmental and equipment information from unmanned and remote sites via a cloud platform.
- Execute Predictive Maintenance Effectively - The models, curve comparisons, and performance prediction tools in the cloud platform that can help with identifying problems early, this achieving fault prevention and improving maintenance efficiency.
Advantech’s comprehensive sensing devices support multiple IoT communication protocols, such as MQTT and RESTful, allowing terminal sensor data to be passed directly to the cloud. This streamlines the system architecture for connecting device-to-cloud solutions in IoT applications while reducing the system construction cost of individual sites.
