As a leading provider of IoT solutions, Advantech draws on its extensive experience in industrial automation, intelligent logistics, and smart city solutions to offer a comprehensive port management solution. This solution facilitates the development of smarter applications and fosters innovations for the advancement of Smart Port 4.0.
Feature Highlights
Saltwater Corrosion Resistance
with Industrial-Grade Designs
Edge computing and wireless communication devices deployed in outdoor environments at container ports face a wide range of environmental conditions, including high and low temperatures, humidity, dust, and saltwater exposure. To meet these demanding requirements, Advantech has developed industrial-grade devices specifically designed for such environments. These rugged devices offer a durable system with water and dust protection, shock and vibration tolerance, and a wide operating temperature range.
Increased Efficiency and Visibility
with Intelligent Connected Devices
Within a smart port, all assets such as stackers, cranes, and trucks, are equipped with edge computing devices and connected to the network to enable real-time data processing and analysis. This integration enhances the efficiency and precision of cargo handling, asset tracking, and task management. Connecting IoT devices, including tablets, sensors, and cameras, plays a crucial role in collecting yard environment data, monitoring container movements, optimizing traffic flow, and enhancing supply chain visibility.
Uninterrupted Data Transmission
with Reliable Wireless Connectivity
In order to implement IoT solutions across a large fleet of connected assets, high-speed and reliable wireless technologies that enable real-time network services in open areas are essential for smart ports. Advantech provides a comprehensive range of Wi-Fi, LoRaWAN, and NB-IoT solutions that provide versatile and dependable options for connecting edge devices to cloud-based TOS and WMS management systems.
