SUSIAccess is a software platform for embedded developers providing

remote management and embedded security services and embedded
applications services with multiple OS and platforms. Now, all
Advantech Embedded Computing products come pre-loaded with
SUSIAccess. Its cloud-based and provides on-demand software services
so SIs can easily download and upgrade applications when they need.

Important 2 Rs: Reliability & Ruggedness

Reliability

Ruggedness

Systems are design for 24x7 operation, lack of service is not acceptable

When a solution is studied it must be as much immune as possible,

Installation MUST NOT affect the design:
1. Electrical noise
1. Irradiated
2. Conducted
2. Environmental condition

Life cycle management: a key point

All the architecture selected are defined embedded
Easier projects maintenance
CPU manufacturer support

Phase out management:

1. STANDARD
1. EOL announcement + 6 months LTB + 9 months last
shipping date
2. PROJECT BASED
1. Key components allocation for extended time batches
production.

Life cycle at least 7 years

Advantechs Benefit
1. Wider ambient temperature validation to make sure
reliability under hash environment.
2. To reduce system shut down or unstable caused by
higher ambient temperature.
Strict vibration test to make Advantech IPC durable and
prevent from component dropped when the IPC is used in
higher shock environment, likes factory automation.
Customer is able to install existing legacy I/O card with s/w
on Advantech new IPC platform to prevent from reinvestment on new I/O cards.
Professional AE to help customer resolve technical problems
for shortening customers development schedule..
1. Eliminate system upgrade every year
2. Low Total Cost of Ownership, including system
certification cost and customer RMA service material
preparation
1. Reduce product validation during product life cycle
2. Avoid compatibility issue happened by engineer changes.

Country : Netherlands
Customer is a leader in cigarette and tobacco manufacturing. This project
is about renewing their production line with a powerful system able to
manage their new SCADA SW.

Customer Needs :

Customer needs to rewamp existing plants managing existing installation. Fanless is a must
and compact size is a winning solution allowing less efforts in installation. Plants are WW and
a rugged device is needed to deploy wo additional rework . Power consumption is an added
value. iDoor allowed the flexibility to connect local I/O easilly integrate in the system.

Application: HMI for Genset control system

Introduction:
SOREEL is a leading company in providing automation for genset control. The actual solution was
based on a monochromatic display, designed internally.
Requirements:
For the next generation cabinet control SOREEL is integrating an HMI interface in order to improve
the GUI for an improved usability. The requirement was to meet harsh environmental conditions:
Extended operating temperature, with cold start capabilities
Sun light readable option
PCB Coating for tropical environmental conditions
Winning Solution:
Advantech has many years experience of thin client HMI development and could offer a dedicated
solution. to meet the requirements, technical as well commercial by customizing the standard
TPC-1250, tailored to the customers specification including packaging and labeling
Fast delivery service can be accomplished by AESC CTOS service and safety stock
management.

Winning Solution:
TPC-1250 OEM version
