Recently, a "feast feast" in the field of industrial automation and intelligence with the theme of "Industry 4.0", "Industrial Internet" and "Made in China 2025" was staged at the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center. The Chinese and foreign robot "corps" is on the same stage, and the "Internet + Manufacturing" highlights. In particular, the Advantech booth on the main axis of “Promoting Intelligent Manufacturing Cross-border Integration and Innovation to Create a Smart Factory Transparent Management Platform†perfectly presented the “Blueprint for the Development of Smart Factory under the Internet of Thingsâ€, attracting a large number of professional visitors to stop. Taking this opportunity, the reporters from China Measurement and Control Network also had the opportunity to interview Mr. Huang Yijia, senior manager of Advantech's industrial automation group.

Take the lead in practice and build a benchmark for Industry 4.0
With the development of "Industry 4.0" and "Industrial Internet" development strategies and the "Made in China 2025" plan, Germany and the United States have launched a new round of scientific and technological revolutions in the world. In the face of such a wide range of industrial changes, Advantech has demonstrated its ability to predict beyond the "informed prophets" of ordinary people. Huang Yijia said that as a world-famous well-known manufacturer in the field of industrial automation, Advantech has taken the lead in adjusting its strategy a few years ago, and has made great efforts to innovate itself and help customers to actively change in order to better cope with the future development of the Internet of Things era.
Nowadays, the concepts of "Internet of Things" and "intelligent manufacturing" are popular all over the world, but most manufacturers only stay on some slogans and even some local technologies. Just like "Intelligent Manufacturing", everyone thinks of "industrial robots". same. Huang Yijia told reporters that Advantech is better at practicing leadership in this field. Through the comprehensive intelligent upgrade and transformation of its own factory, it vividly demonstrated the “standard model†of the intelligent factory under the Internet of Things system, which perfectly combined the concept of IoT thinking, technology and smart factory and solidified it in Advantech. This fully demonstrates the strong self-confidence and strength of Advantech in promoting the overall solution of smart factory upgrades under the Internet of Things system.
Intelligent supervision, "prestigious doctors" who make predictions about the health of machinery and equipment
With the development of electronic information technology, various types of "long-range blood pressure monitoring", "heartbeat monitoring", "body temperature detection" and other smart wearable hardware applications for the medical field are emerging one after another. The concept is to collect and monitor various physiological data indicators of the human body remotely, and to make pre-judgment of the physiological abnormalities of the human body through big data analysis, thereby achieving the effect of “uninfected prophetsâ€. So can such a concept be applied to the industrial field? In this regard, Mr. Huang Yijia pointed out that the concept of “state monitoring and pre-diagnosis†has already begun to be applied in the industrial field, especially in the field of “smart factories†under the future Internet of Things system.
The maintenance of traditional machinery and equipment relies on the "masters" who have many years of experience to "take the pulse" on the spot. There are few professionals, low efficiency, and most of them do not have "health status prediction". Many devices only know that there is a failure when they are down, resulting in a large amount of loss. Huang Yijia said that Advantech is a world-renowned manufacturer in the field, with excellent equipment monitoring technology and software technology plus 30 years of rich industry experience. It can strengthen the overall management and integration of the entire production process information, and provide a comprehensive condition monitoring and diagnosis system integrating data acquisition, network transmission, cloud computing and big data analysis for all kinds of terminal equipments in operation. Let the experienced "master" intelligent system go deep into every corner and perform health monitoring for all kinds of equipment in advance so that it can be deployed ahead of time before the failure occurs. Pre-evaluation of the abnormality of the analysis equipment by real-time acquisition of the operating state of the equipment not only avoids the loss caused by the sudden shutdown of the equipment failure, but also saves a lot of human resources.
Create a "WA+ Alliance" eco-platform and share the IOT "Big Cake"
In the past 30 years, Advantech has been labeled as the “tough guy†in the field of automation. Advantech launched the strategic position of “the leader of global intelligent systems†and also proposed its own unique Internet of Things thinking, namely “to The combination of software and hardware is used to realize the intelligentization of R&D, production, management, marketing and service. Mr. Huang Yijia introduced to the reporter that Advantech has shifted from focusing on “hardware†development to “soft and hardâ€. At the same time, he also said that under the altruistic concept, Advantech based on WebAccess, combined with industry users, government, academic and scientific research units and industry integration partners in the industry to create the WA + IoT Industry Application Alliance, this alliance platform Incorporate industry integration partners, industry users, governments, and research institutes in the industry to establish an industry eco-chain cooperation platform to achieve customers and create win-win results. [l1] Since its establishment in 2012, Advantech's WA+ Internet of Things Application Alliance has been aiming at “Industry Alliance, Creating Win-Win; Altruistic Service, Customer Successâ€. The number of signing partners has grown to more than 50.
Huang Yijia finally said that in the future development and promotion of the Internet of Things, based on the "WA+ Alliance" ecological platform, whether it is the underlying architecture, the middle layer promotion, or the upper cloud connection, Advantech will emphasize the synergy and the sharing of the industrial value chain. Advantech hopes to build a different level of horizontal or vertical ecological chain, integrate the industry, work hard together, and work closely with partners to share the "big cake" of the Internet of Things era.
