Advantech’s industrial equipment manufacturing (IEM) solution emphasize three major solutions: Data Connectivity & Visualization, Automation Control & Measurement, and AI Inspection. Different solutions provide with diverse hardware combinations to meet any scalable and profitable projects of smart machine and Advantech has strong domain knowledge to offer best technical support to our clients. 

Discover how Advantech’s clients benefited from advanced opportunities that helped them achieve success in a competitive industry!

Case 1: AI Inspection for Bus Frame Welding

Tron-E has collaborated with Advantech to develop an AI inspection system for bus-frame welding, replacing traditional time-consuming and labor-intensive inspections with efficient and precise methods to ensure the safety of large buses.

• Only take 20% of the original time to inspect one large bus with hundreds of welds.
• A reliable AI hardware platform to meet critical working environment.
• Exceptional Performance with support multiple IP cameras, large of image data process and storage, and AI inference and training service.

Case 2: The AI Defect Detection System for Paper Jar Production

Claireye Intelligence Co. Ltd. cooperated with Advantech to develop an "AI Defect Detection System" for a paper jar factory. It brings advanced accuracy rate and decrease detection time of product quality dramatically. 

• The inspection accuracy rate surpassing 98%.
• All-in-One AI camera features high flexible deployment of production line.
• Support the CAMNavi SDK, HTML5 Web-based tools, NVIDIA Deepstream SDK, and Azure AVA Suite.
• Integrate the factory’s existing ERP system through the LAN

Case 3: High-speed and High-precision Control of Screen Printing Machine

The customer wanted a more reliable EtherCAT I/O system to replace their existing system. The new solution had to work with Beckhoff’s XFC architecture. The customer finally chooses Advantech not only for the AMAX-5000 series timestamp and encoder modules which were able to meet the customer’s requirements, but also for our strong technical support.

• Seamlessly integrate the AMAX-5000 I/O system into their original legacy control system.
• The 1ns level precise time stamp module can support fast and accurate of high quality printing machine.
• PC-base EtherCAT controller with modular slice I/O to offer high flexibility

Case 4: The DAQ Solution Improves Inspection of Wafer Probe Stations

Probe station developers who want to handle higher density dies on wafers must carefully choose the right data acquisition (DAQ) products for their equipment. Advantech DAQ solution consists of three PCIE cards for die inspection with multi-channel, high-resolution, and high-speed synchronous sampling that provides a complex inspection range with low-latency sampling intervals. More, DAQNavi is a time-saving easy-to-use software development kit, which helps equipment builders to complete the development of new probe stations faster.

• One-stop shopping saves time searching.
• 16-bit resolution for more accurate sampling results.
• Sampling rates of each channel no less than 500kS/s.
• PCIE card provides at least 8 channels of simultaneous analog input to test eight dies

Case 5: Machine Condition Monitoring System for Steel Manufacturing

To maintain existing equipment creates challenges for traditional metal and steel producers. This equipment generates vibration, pressure, liquid level, and temperature data during operation in facilities. Measuring and analyzing this data enables effective monitoring and management. Advantech’s machine condition monitoring solution enables operators to maintain equipment effectively while monitoring the status of critical assets in real time with DAQ solutions.

• This newly developed solution reduces hardware costs by 30%.
• 8 x channels of the DAQ card can sample up to 1.6M vibration signals per second simultaneously.
• Synchronization of 32 channels for the collection of 6.4M sampling data per second.

Case 6: Fast Roaming Accelerating Solution of AGVs

To ensure reliable connectivity for real-time data communication of AGV, the establishment of a robust dual-band Wi-Fi network with fast roaming and signal switching capabilities is crucial. Advantech’s EKI-1361 Wi-Fi clients provided 100ms fast-roaming speeds and compatibility with multiple APs for fast signal switching to ensure smooth transmission of AGV control data.

• Supports 802.11r Wi-Fi and 100ms fast roaming signal switching without AP constraint.
• Enables serial, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi communication.
• Wide 12 ~ 48 VDC power input range with redundancy ensures reliable operation.
