Advantech, a leading provider of industrial Internet of Things (IoT) and automation technology, has announced a new partnership with Hivecell, an industry innovator in “edge as a service” technology solutions, for continued Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) development. The combination of Advantech’s rugged hardware and Hivecell’s edge-as-a-service (EaaS) platform means easy access and deployment of end-to-end data solutions for customers. It has never been easier to connect legacy systems to IoT devices for scalable data collection and management. AIoT and edge intelligence is a major growth engine in evolving industries looking to digitalize operations and implement data-driven decision-making. According to Gartner, the value of the edge computing market is expected to reach US$450 billion by 2025. These emerging technologies, however, also mean enormous amounts of generated data, which can be an obstacle to efficient operations if end users depend on cloud-only processing. While the cloud has value as a storage space, it cannot enable the day-to-day operational and safety improvements that EaaS makes possible for critical and real-time decision-making.
Advantech工业IoT部门副总裁Jerry O’Gorman表示：“行业对AI和机器学习能力具有实时洞察力和本地化行动的需求，对Edge Intelligence的需求不断增强。”“连接的智能设备和机器的持续增长正在推动在边缘上构建云本地体系结构的需求，从而解决了增加的计算，吞吐量和隐私需求，需要更接近来源。我们将其视为超融合的边缘（HCE）。我们与Hivecell的战略合作关系增加了Advantech的全球重点，即建立合作伙伴生态系统，以加快Aiot应用程序的部署，实施和总体上市时间的范围。”
Edge intelligence and EaaS solutions offer users device control, edge monitoring, and software management in order to facilitate successful, scalable digitalization. With a simplified path to application deployment, visualization, machine-learning operations (MLOps), and remote management for data-driven decision-making, customers can rapidly implement new applications. The speed of deployment and implementation maximizes benefits in operation optimization and business transformation.
从实时数据中提取可行的智能的能力可以全面带来收益，而Hivecell的EAAS解决方案与Advantech硬件相结合，使其成为现实。Hivecell的端到端EAA将传统系统连接到网关，边缘计算机，5G路由器和其他用于可扩展数据管理的IoT设备。在边缘收集和处理数据，整个数据流在现场有效丢弃时，整个数据流都会有所改善。仅将相关数据发送回总部和/或云。结果是部署和管理与数百甚至数千个位置的前提计算能力。
Hivecell首席执行官Jeffrey Ricker说：“ HiveCell提供了该行业的第一个边缘服务平台，可以在场所内部部署类似云的计算功率。”“通过将力量组合起来，Advantech和Hivecell共同为客户提供了数据源的完整边缘解决方案，从传感器和相机到网关和路由器，到Edge Server，到数据中心和云。这是一站式商店和整体解决方案，所有玻璃窗格都可以管理。”
Benefits of utilizing EaaS solutions include the following:
•没有硬件购买或维护
• Technology agnostic
•平台灵活
• Minimal installation
• Rapid deployment
• Powered by patented technology
• Future-proofed against obsolescence
• No specialized training needed
物联网网关在Hivecell EAAS数据管理中起关键作用，因为它们充当设备与网络之间的桥梁，将物理信息转换为数字数据以从边缘传输。原始数据流过通过机器学习和其他分析来处理边缘的网关。最后，仅将与业务相关的数据发送到云。
几种Advantech工业设备是与Hivecell的EAA相结合的理想选择，包括以下内容：
• UNO-238: Compact IoT Edge Computer with Intel® Core™ i Processor
• UNO-148: High-performance DIN-rail Control Computer with Intel® 11th Gen Tiger Lake Core
i7/i5/i3 cpu
•SKY-640V2：4U机架Intel®Xeon®可伸缩GPU服务器
•MIC-770 V2：带10 genIntel®Xeon®/Core™I CPU插座的无风扇系统
合作伙伴Advantech Hivecell旨在help simplify common customer challenges in digital transformation by making IoT data more attainable, scalable, and manageable. Working together, the EaaS and hardware solutions help to easily connect smart equipment, organize collected data so only relevant information is sent back to the cloud, and unleash machine learning. Additionally, customers regularly struggle with skilled workforce challenges. Hiring and retaining skilled personnel in key technologies, such as Kubernetes (K8s), Apache Kafka, and DevOps, continues to be difficult. By utilizing Hivecell, customers are implementing a force multiplier for existing employee talent.
Edge AI的扩散将继续加速全球各个部门的AIOT解决方案。Advantech将继续其使命，即通过创建更具创新和安全的智能解决方案来实现智能星球，从而利用无缝集成的软件和硬件。借助Hivecell等战略合作伙伴，与企业实施相关的风险降低了，因为客户可以从制造商的心态转变为成果的消费者，而不是建立目标应用程序而不是建立基础设施和雇用新的员工人才。
