Advantech's M2I industrial equipment networking solution

Everyone in the industrial Internet circle knows that the concept of digital twin has been very popular in recent years, and it is a powerful assistant for the digital transformation of factories. However, in the face of its own weak technical strength and complex equipment use scenarios, is there a solution that can be used out of the box, or can quickly realize digital management of equipment through simple configuration? The answer is Advantech's Embedded IoT Business Group's "M2I (MachineUnite) Industrial Equipment Networking Solution"! In this issue, we will start with the basic concept of digital twins, and take you to understand the industry's general equipment networking solution derived from this foundation - M2I industrial equipment networking solution.

1. What is a digital twin?

The concept of "digital twins" is not unfamiliar to readers in the industrial world. We all know that the digital transformation of enterprises is a very important step for modern enterprises to achieve intelligence, and in the process of digital transformation, it is necessary to model the characteristics of entities in the physical world in computers, and combine them with the fusion of some relevant information and data. Such a technology or means can be called a digital twin.

A succinct definition of a digital twin is: "A digital twin is a virtual representation of an object or system that spans its lifecycle, is updated from real-time data, and uses simulation, machine learning, and inference to aid decision-making." "In terms of usage, digital twins are a key technology for interaction and mapping, and digital twins seem to be clones of physical entities in a virtual world, so they can help us better observe, understand and transform our physical world.

In recent years, in order to meet the megatrend of the Internet of Things, big data and artificial intelligence, Advantech has proposed IoT software and hardware solutions with edge intelligence and Advantech's industrial cloud (including WISE-PaaS industrial IoT cloud platform) as the core to help customers connect with the industry chain. Now it mainly focuses on the three major markets of industrial Internet of Things, embedded Internet of Things and smart city. Advantech has been deeply involved in digital twin technology for many years and has launched the Insight APM digital twin platform, which has helped many customers quickly establish domain applications and accelerate the digital transformation process of customer enterprises.

2. How good is M2I?

As we all know, industrial scenarios are complex, and there are often large industry barriers between different industries, so Advantech has been exploring more general solutions to help customers with insufficient technical capabilities quickly build their own management platforms. Ultimately, in many scenarios, we see that the use of equipment and the centralized monitoring and management of device usage are of great concern to almost every customer. As a result, the "M2I Industrial Equipment Networking Solution" based on the Insight APM digital twin platform came into being!

"M2I Industrial Equipment Networking Solution" is a one-stop industrial IoT solution that connects industrial assets and provides end-to-cloud. The solution integrates the six major functions of equipment management, improves the efficiency of equipment management in an all-round way, and has served many industries and many customers, effectively solving the pain points of difficult equipment management and monitoring for customers, improving management efficiency and level, and truly improving quality, reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
