In response to global warming, Advantech has integrated software, hardware, and services to develop edge intelligent solutions that can be applied to energy storage systems, and has worked with partners in the green energy industry chain to effectively improve the efficiency of green energy use in homes, businesses, industrial areas, and cities, contributing to the pursuit of sustainable development.
Project Background
The customer's energy storage cabinet is deployed in various regions of the world, and the operation and maintenance cost is very expensive when the equipment fails, and the customer wants to ensure that the control system of the energy storage cabinet can operate stably, and support disaster recovery, dual hot standby, and real-time online monitoring functions based on the Azure cloud platform.
Pain point needs
The equipment is deployed in remote areas, and the operation and maintenance costs are high
It cannot be automatically recovered after a system failure
It is not possible to grasp the working status and information of the equipment
The amount of data in the energy storage cabinet is huge, and there are high requirements for the collection time
Advantech's solution value
The unattended anti-crash operating system helps reduce the O&M cost of remote devices
By providing an anti-crash operating system, it ensures the stable and reliable operation of equipment in the wilderness 24/7, and significantly reduces the production loss and operation and maintenance costs caused by equipment downtime
Efficient real-time data collection and local storage to meet the strict requirements of large data volume and real-time performance
The high-performance data processing mechanism only takes three seconds to complete the collection, processing, and conversion of 15K tags data to JSON format, and provides a real-time database at the millisecond level, which can meet the real-time storage of local data
Data changes can be uploaded, greatly reducing storage costs and network costs
Data change upload can greatly reduce the amount of uploaded data, minimize the load of data processing, reduce storage costs, and save 4G network fees and cloud platform message fees
SDK and containerized environment for easy secondary development and application deployment
The SDK development interface can quickly realize the secondary development of customer needs, and at the same time, quickly realize the deployment of customer applications through the containerized environment, bringing customers a flexible business expansion model.
Lightweight edge computing software + industrial-grade Arm gateway, a stable and reliable cost-effective solution
Lightweight and efficient edge intelligent software, combined with industrial-grade Arm gateways, brings customers a cost-effective solution that integrates software and hardware
Advantech's RISC/Arm edge intelligent gateway solution
Advantech's RISC/Arm IPCs/gateways are designed to be seismic and anti-interference in response to market needs. In particular, it optimizes the design and verification of the wireless part of gateway applications, and provides RISC/Arm design verification support services, simplifying the overall product design of customers, improving the efficiency of customer product research and development, and accelerating product time-to-market. In addition, the product supports a wide temperature environment and can be deployed in harsh environments, providing reliable and stable hardware solutions. In terms of software, Advantech's RISC/Arm edge intelligent gateway is compatible with DeviceOn.CommBridge developed based on Advantech's industrial IoT platform WISE-PaaS. CommBridge is an industrial application for device networking and edge computing, which provides functions such as data collection, protocol conversion, and device control, a rule engine that can customize computing logic, and a flexible and easy-to-use secondary development interface to meet the complex and changeable application needs of the edge intelligent industry and help customers achieve digital transformation and upgrading.
Advantages of DeviceOn/CommBridge:
Efficient: It only takes three seconds for the high-performance data processing mechanism to collect, process, and convert 15K tags to JSON format (EPC-R3220 Cortex A8). Key point data supports millisecond-level collection; It can support simultaneous acquisition of multiple devices.
Lightweight: It can be used with Arm gateways, which has a very low CPU and memory footprint, and can run customers' own edge computing programs, bringing high cost performance. *The Commbridge program is about 90M, running on the EPC-R3220 gateway (Cortex-A8, 1GB DDR), and the CPU usage is only 2% and the memory usage is only less than 5% in the case of 1W point data acquisition and analysis (according to the actual test of the application)
Flexible: The multi-level modular architecture design supports rapid expansion and integration, flexibly responds to multiple scenarios of the Industrial Internet of Things, accelerates the development progress, and reduces the development cost
Abundant: Support a variety of Linux operating system distributions; Support for x86 and ARM hardware platforms (disadvantages: less support in terms of acquisition protocols and interconnected cloud platforms/upload protocols)
