Whatever your position on the present and future scarcity of fossil fuels, the ecological and climatic effects of carbon emissions or the economic merits of renewable energy sources, most of us can agree that there is much to gain and little to lose in prudent conservation of fossil-fuel resources, and that, in turn, means relying…
When managing your fleet of scanning devices becomes overwhelming, it’s time to consider remote device management (RDM). For IT administrators, the ability to manage all bar code scanning devices from a single, remote location can be a life saver. For your business, it’s a productivity and profitability enhancer. Let’s face it; scanner management can be…
A recent survey found that 58% of IT professionals considered interoperability – the ability of various enterprise systems to interact with other systems within the enterprise – to be their greatest challenge. During my 10 years of selling industrial computer products, I have found that there are more legacy applications being run today than one…
Industry has come to rely so heavily on the omnipresent Ethernet switch that it’s easily taken for granted. Ethernet switches serve as the building blocks of networks and act as network traffic cops, ensuring collision-free data flow, while maximizing network capacity and uptime, and simplifying network expansion to meet dynamic industrial needs. The bywords of…
In today’s highly automated, 24/7/365 manufacturing facilities, where downtime is extremely costly making network redundancy and maximization of uptime absolutely critical to success of the enterprise, managed Ethernet switches reign supreme. These switches incorporate secondary processors that allow the engineer to manage a myriad of settings and advanced services to optimize detection of redundant paths…
My previous posts covering the Advantech Intelligent Building Solution (AiBS) focused on the first three of its four major iBuilding scenarios: Intelligent Parking, Intelligent Reception, the Intelligent Meeting Room and the Intelligent Office – scenarios that were specifically considered by Advantech to encourage and facilitate development of system refinements that building-automation planners might otherwise miss….
My previous post covering the Advantech Intelligent Building Solution (AiBS) focused primarily on its Intelligent Parking scenario, just one of the four major scenarios that help define this comprehensive approach to iBuilding design and management – scenarios that were specifically considered by Advantech to encourage development of refinements busy enterprise engineers might otherwise miss. AiBS’s…
Recently, I wrote about the general concept of Intelligent Buildings, noting that the focus of intelligent-building systems now encompasses advantages that go well beyond traditional considerations of energy efficiency and the basic building subsystems that control access, lighting, HVAC, communication, etc. Indeed, intelligent-building concepts are being rapidly refined in ways never imaginable until the proliferation…
In my previous blog article, I talked about the growing emphasis on intelligent building. To summarize, Intelligent Building can automate the following areas: Integrated and Intelligent Systems Energy Management System & Services Service Support & Maintenance Advantech’s intelligent building solution (AiBS) software, WebAccess, can accomplish the tasks listed above. WebAccess is a graphical control SCADA/HMI…
As economies adjust to ever-rising demand for and costs of energy, an increasing range of enterprises are focusing on intelligent-building strategies. Globally, commercial buildings currently consume just fewer than 25 percent of all electricity production, making intelligent, automated management of those resources critical not only to enterprise efficiency, but also to global energy-allocation challenges. While…
