Advantech, a world leader in industrial IoT technologies, has reported significant interest from visitors to the 10th SPS Italia event in Parma, Italy, in all of the iFactory and machine building technologies displayed by the company.
The Advantech stand features three main technology pillars: edge computing, connectivity (including 5G) and artificial intelligence (AI); moreover, besides the technologies, Advantech displays its focused solutions for the Food and Beverage industry.
In each of these areas, Advantech supplies Solution-Ready Packages (SRP) for automation control, which enable customers to adopt smart manufacturing and harness the power of Industry 4.0 – enjoying the twin benefits of complete control and maximum visibility of operations.
The show, taking place for the first time since 2019, hosted more than 36,000 visitors, with more than 800 exhibitors. Many of the visitors took the opportunity to discover more about how Advantech works with leading software suppliers to co-create these SRPs. SRPs support process optimisation across all areas of operations, from machine control to energy management, with a positive impact on profitability. These range from Industry 4.0 "rugged" solutions for the food & beverage sector, supporting changing product requirements against a backdrop of increasingly stringent local and international regulation, to high-speed wireless technologies enabling real-time network services – crucial as 5G becomes more prevalent. In the field of AI, the solutions co-created by Advantech and its many partners enable companies to bring deep learning to a huge range of applications.
