These devices are designed to streamline deployment, reduce costs, and enhance edge computing and analytics capabilities.
Azure Certified Device and Edge compatibility
The UNO-2000 V2 series is validated through the Azure Certified Device programme to ensure its ability to connect to the Azure IoT Hub and use the Device Provisioning Service (DPS) for secure provisioning. This certification confirms the series’ operational effectiveness and seamless interoperability. Additionally, the UNO-2000 V2 series has achieved Edge Managed certification, which sets device management standards for Azure-connected devices and reflects the series’ compatibility with edge runtime for module deployment and management.
Application-oriented UNO-2000 V2 gateways with flexible scalability
The UNO-2000 V2 series includes embedded box IPCs with rugged, fanless, and modular designs. The series offers various form factors, such as the pocket-sized UNO-2271G V2, the small-sized UNO-2372G V2, and the regular-sized UNO-2484G V2. These compact edge IoT gateways ensure ease of deployment and maintenance across various industrial IoT (IIoT) and automation contexts. They are equipped with multiple IO ports and support advancements like M.2 expansion, NVME storage, and type-C connectors for efficient data collection and transmission. The series can also incorporate second expansion stacks supporting Advantech’s iDoor technology, enhancing computational power and scalability.
Empowering intelligence to the Edge with Advantech Edge Service
