Unleash the Power of Your Edge: Edge Communication and Device Management Platform

The deployment and use of edge Intelligence have become the standard architecture in pretty much every industrial market sector, and the value arguments supporting this type of local processing are well documented and proven, but that’s only half the story. If we’re going to deploy edge intelligence on a large scale, then an equally important consideration in terms of lifetime cost of ownership and therefore the return on initial investment is how the edge devices are deployed, monitored, managed, maintained and upgraded.

In our increasingly digital environment, remote device management is definitely the name of the game. It has become essential to be able to see everything clearly, to comprehend everything that is happening with our complete fleet of devices, and to do it all from wherever you are located. This is where our EdgeHub becomes useful. It functions as a central hub from where you can easily deploy updates and fixes to devices, regardless of their location or complexity of setup. Additionally, you can relax knowing that we have the best security procedures in place to completely safeguard you. It all comes down to ensuring sure you always have control over the configuration, operation and security of your devices.

Besides that, Advantech can also protect an end- users’ existing investment by providing the hardware and software to easily connect all their legacy devices and integrate them into modern centralized IoT or production management systems. Over 80% of industrial automation deployments are on brownfield sites – having this functionality available means these can evolve through a process of managed migration, rather than having to rip everything out and start again with all of the cost, risk and disruption that implies.

Furthermore, and this is becoming more significant as cybercrime permeates the industrial setting, it offers a mechanism to support the maintenance of edge device security and integrity, and therefore that of the assets that are linked to them.
