Advantech ConnectOnline Partner Conference

 Three consecutive months, five main topics, and 22 subtopics. Join hands with global partners and work towards the new future of Industrial IoT

February 24, 2021, Taipei, Taiwan- Advantech (stock code: 2395), a global leader in industrial IoT, launches Advantech Connect, an online partner conference for Advantech global partners. Having AIoT Vision as its theme, the forum will be held from February 24th to May 6th and center around five main topics: Industrial IoT, Embedded IoT, IoT Cloud Platform - WISE-PaaS, Smart City Solutions and Services, and Cloud IoT. In total, more than 20 online forums will be hosted over the next three months.

Learn the latest AIoT trends that help the formation of an IoT ecosystem

Advantech Connect will start with the AIoT Visionary Keynote speech on February 24. Influencers, such as Professor William Webb, author of The Internet of Things Myth, Alfonso Velosa III, research analyst from Gartner, Ken Forster, founder ofMomenta, and strategic partners Microsoft and Intel will also give talks. Various invited experts will discuss trends in the IIoT industry and insights from various perspectives such as the blind spots of IoT development, promoting enterprise digital transformation with AIoT, and accelerating the formation of AIoT ecosystem partners through venture capital funds. With in-depth examination on how to utilize AIoT to accelerate digital transformation and innovation, you can quickly get up to speed on the exciting business opportunities in IIoT.

AIoT market set to reach US$450 billion in 2025

KC Liu, CEO of Advantech, commented, "According to Gartner's report, the AIoT market will reach US$450 billion by 2025. Of this market, integrated solutions and services will account for the majority (roughly 55%) of IoT business. Therefore, I believe that by 2025, the IoT ecosystem will be much improved." KC further asserted that the reason the IoT did not grow as fast as expected 10 years ago is because AIoT ecosystems need to evolve gradually step by step, from Stage 1.0 to Stage 4.0.

Stage 1.0WISE-PaaS Created: IoT-PaaS solutions are required. Advantech began developing WISE-PaaS in 2015 and commercialized it in 2018.

Stage 2.0Integratable Industrial Apps: Develop industrial apps as building blocks to ensure easy solution integration. Advantech develops integration-ready industrial apps and solution suites for solution integrators aimed at the domains of iFactory, energy and environment, public services, iRetail, iBuilding, and iHealthcare.

Stage 3.0Interconnection in Applications and Domains:Industrial apps and domain focus applications should be properly interconnected so that solution integrators can join the ecosystem and start to duplicate solution business to other fields. To fulfil this, Advantech has applied four tasks, achieve application suite readiness, initiate more key technology breakthroughs, establish strong and committed domain solution integrator relationships, and build up solution sales team.

Stage 4.0Integrators Innovate: Develop innovative solutions quickly and efficiently. This will allow domain system integrators and the IoT industry as a whole to enjoy explosive growth. Eventually the digital transformation of all domains will become a popular reality.
