When you’re in the market for industrial computing equipment or rugged mobile computing devices, it can be daunting to browse through pages and pages of products to narrow down what you’re looking for. Then, when you click on the product specification page, it can be even more daunting to read technology terms, abbreviations, and acronyms…
Thanks for coming back to read Part III of my series on 10 Tips for Successful Industrial PC Configuration. In case you missed it, Part II covered Board Level I/O & Video, CPU/CPU Fan Selection and Memory Requirements. Part 1 covered PC Form Factor, Power Supply Options and ISA/PCI/PCIe Cards. Today, I will review Storage,…
In Part I of 10 Tips for Successful Industrial PC Configuration, I discussed PC Form Factor, Power Supply Options and ISA/PCI/PCIe Cards. Today, Part II will review Advantech’s Board Level I/O & Video, CPU/CPU Fan Selection and Memory Requirements. This is the “meat and potatoes” of a PC. There are many options to consider and…
On April 2, 2014, I attended a webinar titled Enabling Smart Factories – The Transformation of Manufacturing Systems & Factory Facilities, hosted by Advantech and presented by Dr. Jay Lee. What I expected was a nebulous discussion of vague academic concepts. What I got was real-world insight into actionable strategies for optimizing industrial systems. Dr….
I previously covered Part 1 (Content of the IoT), Part 2 (Intel’s Intelligent Systems Framework) and Part 3 (Wind River’s Intelligent Device Platform) of Advantech product engineer Ken Chang’s enlightening PowerPoint presentation, UTX-3115 for Internet of Things (IoT) Applications. Chang’s presentation is available in a 22-minute YouTube video. This post covers Part 4 of that…
In Parts 1 and 2 of this blog series, I began to explore Advantech product engineer Ken Chang’s enlightening PowerPoint presentation entitled UTX-3115 for Internet of Things (IoT) Applications. In this blog, I will discuss Wind River’s Intelligent Device Platform. Bringing divergent hardware and software together is a critical function of Advantech’s UTX-3115 IoT gateway, which…
I’ve been helping a friend design a digital signage system for use at the many trade shows he attends each year on behalf of a technology publication. His goals for the display include that it be portable enough for him to transport in a small van, along with all his other exhibit gear and supplies,…
For years I took my vehicles to the same auto repair shop – until Antony, its owner, decided to retire. Last I saw of him, he was prepping a new-to-him motorhome for a year of travel. Good news for Antony; bad news for me! I don’t recall how long he’d been in business, I just…
I wrote recently about the consumer-IoT’s “basket of remotes” problem, the realization that the growing divergence of a “hodge-podge of ad hoc solutions managed through fragmented systems” risks needlessly complicating consumer’s already busy lives. Fortunately, industrial and commercial sources such as Advantech are already well ahead of their consumer counterparts in delivering comprehensive integrated IoT…
My neighbor called from work recently to ask, first, if I was home and, if so, would I check to see if she’d left her curling iron plugged in. She’s a nurse who works a night shift, and the “would you check my …” call has become such a recurring theme that she long ago…
