FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Apacer
and Advantech Collaborate On A Major IoT Development
Integrating
IoT Cloud-based Applications To Make Smart Factories More Efficient
New
Taipei City, Taiwan, February 19, 2020 – Apacer, a global
leader in industrial storage and memory, announces a new cooperation
with Advantech, a global leader in industrial computing. They will
integrate Apacer's Double-barreled Solution into Advantech's WISE-PaaS
/ DeviceOn IoT device management platform, making it easier for
customers to manage critical storage. Data will be sent to the cloud
for real-time monitoring, improving overall system operation
efficiency. This strategic alliance will start with smart factory
applications and expand to other vertical application markets such as
transportation, healthcare and smart logistics in the future, providing
impressively integrated industrial cloud platform services.
IoT device management: Applicable on diverse public and private cloud platforms
Gartner, the international research and consulting firm, predicts that
the number of endpoints in the global IoT market will reach 5.8 billion
in 2020, a 21% increase from 2019. The continuous growth of connected
devices is accompanied by problems in device integration and
management. Accelerating the implementation of AIoT applications and
maximizing the benefits will require the critical support of industrial
cloud platform services.
Advantech has actively promoted the development of the WISE-PaaS
industrial IoT ecosystem in recent years. It provides flexible
cloud-native platform environment with Kubernetes and microservices
architecture, and continues to improve the platform's product diversity
and integration capabilities through an industry co-creation model.
This time, Advantech worked with Apacer to develop a version of the
WISE-PaaS / DeviceOn device management service that includes a plugin
known as the Double-barreled Solution: Cloud Edition. Providing data
collection and visualization functions, it is equipped with a
user-friendly dashboard. It features real-time monitoring of SSD health
statistics, such as: remaining life span, temperature, and number of
unexpected power outages. Its applications are not restricted by
specific cloud environments, and it works on public cloud platforms
such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google. It also
makes building high-performance IoT systems in private cloud farms
easier than ever.
Double-barreled Solution Cloud Edition: Real-time monitoring of SSD health statistics
This collaboration is the first developed to meet the needs of smart
factories. SSD or system damage caused by unstable or abnormal power
supply can be unfortunately common to factories, and will slow down the
production line. The WISE-PaaS / DeviceOn IoT device management
platform with DBS Cloud Edition provides real-time monitoring of SSDs
24/7, allowing for the quick detection of unexpected power outages.
Engineers can observe the network from inside the smart factory war
room, or through communication software such as LINE, WeChat, or e-mail
and SMS when out of office. This allows support teams to react quickly
when abnormalities occur, which can greatly reduce labor or system
maintenance costs.
Cindy Huang, the senior director of Apacer’s Sales and Marketing
Center, said that in the future Apacer will maintain a close technology
development partnership with Advantech. This will be based on deep
industrial storage experience and will allow the technology to develop
in ways that meet the needs of different vertical application markets,
such as transportation, healthcare and smart logistics. The goal is
develop highly customized solutions, expand and deepen AIoT
applications from the edge to the cloud, enhance the added value of
both products, and achieve mutual progress and mutual benefit. For more
