During his presentation at the conference, Jack Yang, project manager, Advantech IIoT Group, noted that managing IIoT data means more than just digitally storing and transmitting it. “With the aid of Advantech’s software solutions, complicated engineering data workloads can be simplified and turn the data [generated by IIoT-enabled devices] into information,” he said. “This information is the key to digital transformation.”
In addition to direct device management at the edge, Advantech also highlighted its Wise-PaaS/DeviceOn app that can be used to manage hundreds of thousands devices deployed at multiple sites. WISE-PaaS/DeviceOn is designed to help users on-board, visualize, operate, and manage IIoT devices. Through the app’s interface, users can monitor device health status, take real-time actions to power on/off, troubleshoot problems, and send software and firmware updates on-site and remotely at scale.
“Device management is the most important, crucial, and fundamental piece for the user to ensure that their services remain uninterrupted,” said Cindy Huang, manager, Advantech IIoT Group. “The Wise-Paas/DeviceOn remote monitoring and management software delivers information about device operation via automatic alarms, allowing users to remotely control and manage devices in the field.”
