Edge Intelligence Solution Architecture

Optimize Smart Device Management

Advantech’s DeviceOn/BI is an open cloud-based industrial IoT platform that provides a device management portal for real-time monitoring and zero-touch software deployment. All data, such as CPU performance, temperature, and input voltage, collected from different platforms can be standardized for integration and visualization using DeviceOn/BI. The intuitive user interface allows customers to easily deploy software, fireware, and docker containers remotely via a web browser. With advanced integration functions, DeviceON/BI can accelerate the setup of domain application command centers.

From Edge Visualization to Digital Twin

Advantech’s Platform Portal was developed for aggregating all process and application information at the edge and visualizing the data on a webpage that can be easily accessed by users. The Platform Portal employs container technology that can be implemented on all Advantech IT gateway devices. Moreover, the Portal’s secure open-software architecture enables users/ developers to access the system via a HTML browser and integrate unique analytics and connectors.
