In response to the harsh environmental challenges in the Australian Outback, a mining company integrated embedded IoT technology to enhance its operations. The key player in this transformation was Advantech’s ARK-2251 modular fanless box computer. The ARK-2251 acted as the backbone of the company’s monitoring system, providing real-time equipment status updates in extreme conditions.
1. High-temperature resistance: Operates reliably from -20°C to 60°C, ensuring stable performance in the Outback's heat.
2. Dust-proof design: The fanless structure and rugged housing prevent dust, ensuring stability.
3. Flexible power support: Supports 12V to 24V DC input, adapting to power fluctuations.
The logistics industry is shifting toward automation, especially in cold storage and high-density systems. The company’s shuttle robots faced performance issues due to delays with their previous assembled computers, which required frequent restarts. To resolve this, they adopted the UNO-2372G embedded computer.
1. Wide Temperature Range: It operates reliably in temperatures from -20°C to 60°C, making it ideal for cold storage warehouses.
2. Shock and Vibration Resistant: Designed to withstand shocks and vibrations, ensuring stable robot operation.
3. Multiple I/O Interfaces: Supports a variety of interfaces, including RS232/422/485, USB, RJ45, and HDMI, enabling flexible hardware integration and expansion.
Warehouse automation relies on panel PCs like the PPC-312 for real-time monitoring and control, improving efficiency and reducing failures. The PPC-312 plays a key role in managing tasks such as picking and sorting, enhancing smart warehousing and logistics by boosting operational performance and adaptability.
1. Industrial-Grade Durability: Features a durable aluminum enclosure, IP66 protection, and the ability to withstand dust, humidity, and temperatures from -20°C to 60°C.
2. Fanless Design: Eliminates maintenance issues, reduces equipment failure risks, and prevents dust accumulation, improving reliability.
3. Diverse I/O Interfaces and Expandability: Enables easy integration with devices and systems to meet various warehouse automation needs.
Wastewater treatment plants are upgrading to remote monitoring and automation to tackle water pollution and scarcity. Advantech’s TPC series with WebAccess SCADA enables real-time data visualization and remote equipment control from a central room.
1. Remote Management: The TPC series with WebAccess allows users to monitor and control equipment remotely, simplifying the management of distributed wastewater systems.
2. Increased Efficiency: Operators can access live data and system status from anywhere, improving decision-making and operational response times.
3. Cost-Effective Operations: Remote control reduces maintenance costs and increases uptime by allowing technicians to address issues without on-site visits.
Advantech IDP series plays a key role by ensuring the high-brightness touch displays work effectively in outdoor EV charging kiosks. It maintains stable display performance in direct sunlight, enhances touch sensitivity for smooth interaction, and enables remote management, allowing operators to monitor and maintain the system efficiently without on-site visits.
1. Enhanced Display Visibility: IDP ensures clear visibility even in direct sunlight for better outdoor interaction.
2. IP67 Waterproof and Dustproof: The displays are designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions with an IP67 rating.
3. Long Backlight Lifetime (50,000 hrs): IDP provides a long-lasting backlight, lasting up to 50,000 hours, reducing replacements.
The FPM industrial monitor serves as the primary interface in the automated testing system, providing real-time feedback to operators. It connects to the IPC for data processing and communicates with the PLC to synchronize testing stations, improving efficiency and accuracy in the testing process.
1. P-CAP Touch for Enhanced Visibility: The FPM monitor uses P-CAP touch technology for clear visibility, even in direct sunlight, improving user comfort.
2. Operating Temperature: -20°C to 60°C: The FPM series features a rugged aluminum chassis and IP66 rating for water and dust resistance in harsh environments.
3. Slim, Panel-Mount Design: The slim, panel-mount design with USB and RS-232 support allows easy integration and maximizes space.
