Advantech, together with its ecosystem of technology partners, will use the Hannover Messe trade show to highlight how their combined expertise is driving Edge AI innovations for industries.
At Digital Systems Hall 15, booth F18, Advantech will be ‘Unleashing the Power of its Ecosystem’, offering visitors the opportunity to discover innovations aimed at transforming the smart industry. Featured technologies will include the latest Intel generation platform validated by AWS and systems certified by Cumulocity. In industrial connectivity, Advantech will present 5G routers and LoRaWAN gateways for outdoor use, along with new unmanaged switches +1 featuring QoS, BSP, and port-based VLAN capabilities to meet the communication segregation needs of modern factories.
OT network security & private 5G
Advantech will demonstrate how its Edge-to-Cloud network transformation solutions accelerate applications including private 5G, OT security and SD-WAN for industrial customers. From highly optimised Edge servers to power-efficient Edge devices, these solutions incorporate the latest processors and rich connectivity options, supported by Advantech’s robust ecosystem of technology experts including leading silicon, software, system integration and service partners.
Advantech’s solutions specifically address the challenges of integrating IT and OT in industrial environments. By bridging the gap between OT and IT, Advantech ensures secure, real-time data transmission and optimises the performance of both systems, addressing their distinct protocols, architectures, and service requirements.
Advantech’s featured Edge server and network appliances at the event will include:
- The FWA-1214: an OT Network Security and SD-WAN platform designed to meet harsh industrial requirements, including the IEC-61850-3 standards for power plants and substations. It supports up to six GbE ports and dual 2G/3G/LTE/5G modems to address connectivity challenges in remote locations
- The SKY-8134S-11: a highly reliable Edge computing server that optimises performance, density and total cost of ownership (TCO) for mission and business-critical applications. Powered by Intel Xeon processors, its ultra-short depth and wide operating temperature range make it an ideal choice for demanding edge deployments including private 5G for Industrial IoT use cases
Edge computing & industry
As the demand for faster data processing grows, Edge computing overcomes latency and bandwidth limitations by processing data closer to its source, enabling real-time responsiveness for critical applications. Edge devices, such as IoT sensors, perform initial data processing locally, reducing the data sent to central servers. Reliable, high-speed connectivity ensures smooth operation, securely transmitting data across the network.
Advantech provides tailored solutions for diverse industrial needs, and visitors to the booth will discover innovations designed to drive smart industry transformation, including platform technologies validated for advanced use cases. Experts at the booth will also showcase their latest 5G routers, LoRaWAN gateways for outdoor use, and new unmanaged switches with QoS, BSP, and port-based VLAN capabilities to meet the communication and network segregation demands of modern factories.
Edge AI
While AI is becoming mainstream in everyday life, Industrial Edge AI is still in its early stages, requiring specialised domain knowledge and Ecosystem collaboration to scale effectively. Advantech works closely with global leaders in high-performance computing, AI, and semiconductor innovation, as well as Cloud Service Providers (CSPs), Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), Managed Service Providers (MSPs), Domain-Focused System Integrators (DFSIs), and Value-Added Resellers (VARs) to accelerate industrial AI adoption and reduce time-to-market. Specialists will present visitors with real-world Industrial AI use cases that help drive the industry forward on their AI journey.
Solutions offered by Advantech and its Ecosystem provide end users with the most advanced systems on the market, and they can satisfy specific application challenges. Visitors can explore these advanced solutions and discuss ‘Edge Computing. Edge Everything’ at Hannover Messe 2025 with Advantech and eco-partners at booth F18, Hall 15.
