Advantech Receives ROI Industry 4.0 Award China for Its Digital Factory

Advantech received an award from ROI Management Consulting for its Industry 4.0-compliant digital factory. The ROI Industry 4.0 Award China was given to Advantech to honor its Industry 4.0 achievements as a pioneer in the practical implementation of “real-time equipment and resource monitoring.”
 
“While today, other companies have key machines connected to a central system, Advantech stands out because they have not only connected sophisticated equipment like SMT lines, but have also upgraded and connected conventional machines, such as stamping machines, to get a full picture of what is happening in production—from start to finish,” Timo Schneemann, vice GM of ROI Management Consulting, said.
 
For years, Advantech has optimized its production line in manufacturing centers to improve efficiency. Data is the key to improving efficiency in Advantech’s smart factory. 
 
“The Industry 4.0 situation room is Advantech’s most important upgrade to Industry 4.0. The situation room is the factory’s nerve center where data is collected, analyzed, and visualized for real-time management and data-driven decision-making,” said Allan Tsay, VP, Advantech Industrial IoT Group. Advantech’s Industry 4.0 journey begins with equipment connectivity and process visualization solutions, and continues with optimization processes.
