Intelligent era brings new opportunities to automation technology

I do n’t know when the concept of “intelligence” has entered our lives and penetrated into more and more fields. From earlier intelligent transportation and intelligent buildings to emerging intelligent agriculture and intelligent medical treatment, the "intelligent" figure has become ubiquitous in our lives. Not only that, in the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" of a series of core industries that have been introduced, the requirements for improving the level of industrial intelligence have also been highlighted, which undoubtedly marks whether it is from the market application level or from policy planning At this level, the advent of the "intelligent age" is logical.

For most people, contact and understanding of the "smart era" often start from the most familiar areas around them. In the face of the wide-spread and colorful concept of "intelligence", many people may still feel that "the flowers are gradually becoming charming eyes", but when they are driving on the road to query real-time traffic information, feel the human adjustment in the new home When using clean, high-quality energy in various occasions, they have really enjoyed the convenience and efficiency brought by the "smart era".

And the continuous development of automation technology is also looking for its own vast world in this ascending "smart era". In fact, the rapid popularization of intelligence in various fields may be precisely the vast blue ocean of automation technology in the future.

Intelligent transportation depicts attractive prospects

When it comes to intelligent applications that go deep into industry needs, intelligent transportation is a very typical example. As an area of ​​great significance for urban development, public services, and logistics, the demand for intelligent applications in the transportation field has already surfaced, and has developed rapidly in recent years.

As an enterprise that originated in the field of industrial control, Advantech is one of the automation suppliers that set its sights on the field of intelligent transportation earlier. For such a large market that includes road transportation, railways, urban rail transportation and many other subdivided fields, Advantech ’s intelligent applications have penetrated into all aspects of the transportation field, and it has naturally had a deeper thinking about intelligent transportation.

Compared with traditional traffic control, where is the "intelligence" in intelligent transportation? For this question, Zhao Guoxiang, director of business development for the Internet of Things of Advantech Industrial Automation Group, chose to explain to reporters from the perspective of demand and effect. To: "The transportation field covers a wide range, and there are also many smart applications serving them. In the final analysis, these intelligent applications are for people to enjoy a convenient, efficient and safe transportation system. It can be said that this is exactly Advantech Understanding the meaning of intelligent transportation. "

Although such an explanation is relatively concise and clear, to achieve the effect of "convenience, efficiency and safety" in the field of transportation, the various subdivision applications involved are a relatively complex system. Zhao Guoxiang said: "Similar to many other intelligent application areas, intelligent transportation is a systematic concept. So up to now, whether facing the needs of highway transportation, public transportation services, or urban rail, Advantech has Corresponding to different intelligent application systems. "

"For example, we need to choose a smooth and efficient route in advance by car today. This has become quite simple. As long as we pick up the smartphone, we can easily view the real-time traffic conditions marked in different colors in detail, and then make the most A good choice. Such a road flow monitoring system has Advantech ’s solution in it. ”Zhao Guoxiang said with pride.

In fact, this is just one of many applications of intelligent transportation. Advantech's more intelligent solutions are also improving people's various transportation experiences in all aspects.

Through the ubiquitous information prompts in the station, passengers with different destinations can successfully find the correct platform; through the electronic stop sign, passengers waiting for the bus can know the exact time of the vehicle to the station; through the automatic ticket inspection system, large traffic Of subway passengers can complete the self-service ticketing and ticket checking process smoothly and at high speed; and the management and dispatch personnel of the transportation system can know the driving status and running status of each train in the control room through the integrated monitoring system, and even check the carriage in real time The surveillance video inside ensures the safety of the train ... The continuous realization of these scenarios comes from the collection, processing, publishing, exchange, analysis, and utilization of a large amount of information, and the embedded technology, industrial communication, Automation technologies such as smart device terminals provide a huge space for automation manufacturers such as Advantech.

Smart home is committed to comfort and energy saving

Smart home is a typical embodiment of smart applications going deep into the industry. In this regard, there are not only local companies like Advantech, but also some international companies that follow the European standard technology system, such as ABB. As with smart transportation, many representative smart building solutions also use efficient and convenient "comfortable experience" as the starting point, so that users can feel the benefits of "intelligence" most intuitively.

At present, the market has formed a popular smart home system represented by KNX (European Installation Bus) technology. In the intelligent building system based on KNX technology, ABBi-bus? Intelligent control system has become a typical representative. It is understood that this system achieves intelligent control of home projects through the control of home lighting, heating, air conditioning, electric curtains, and the use of popular electronic devices such as ipad and iphone as control terminals.

In this regard, Huang Xiang, General Manager of Marketing of ABB China Low Voltage Products Business Department, said: "ABBi-bus smart home system has a variety of smart modules and sensor equipment, such as lighting, air conditioning, floor heating, curtains and other smart modules, as well as various A kind of smart panel. ABBi-bus system uses building blocks, according to customer functions and requirements, selects different smart modules and smart panels to achieve various intelligent control of the house, which is very flexible and convenient to implement, and can be carried out according to customer requirements Write any customized program. "For example, in actual use, users can make full use of these functions and set various intelligent scenes, such as meeting scenes and leaving home scenes, to experience the convenience brought by smart home at any time.

For smart homes, convenience and comfort are not the only entry point, and residential energy saving has become another important value realized by smart homes. In the realization of green houses, ABB also provides a lot of intelligent means and solutions to achieve energy saving in houses. Here, the systematic characteristics of intelligence are also vividly reflected.

Huang Xiang mentioned by way of example that in the staircase and unmanned storage room, the installation of ABBi-bus motion sensors can detect the activities of personnel in the area, and only turn on the lighting when there is a person. The illumination of the residential garden can also be achieved through the illumination sensor according to the external light, and the electric curtains in the living room can be automatically adjusted to block direct sunlight and reduce the energy consumption of the air conditioner. In addition, through functions such as regular simulation operation, the energy consumption of electric equipment is automatically reduced when people go out on vacation. These functions that sound unusually "smart and smart" are expected to be popularized in the near future.

Automation drives the development of smart applications

The space created by smart applications is so huge, and the scenarios described by smart solutions are so beautiful that everyone can see. So as an automation manufacturer, how should it exert its strength in the face of many new fields of intelligent applications? In such a grand intelligent industry territory, what role should automation manufacturers be suitable for?

In this regard, Advantech's Zhao Guoxiang has more in-depth thinking. He believes that automation manufacturers who are interested in exploring the intelligent field will naturally face a very broad space. In the face of such a broad field, no manufacturer can independently cover the entire architecture of the intelligent industry. At this time, it is very important to be guided by the actual needs of the market, and at the same time to combine this guidance with the advantages of the manufacturers themselves.

In fact, Advantech's early entry into the field of intelligence followed this guidance. For example, in the face of the demand for intelligent management of equipment such as remote maintenance of equipment proposed by some industrial users, Advantech is making full use of its leading technical resources and foundations in industrial automation, embedded system platforms and embedded cores to launch DiagAnywhere With remote device management tools such as SUSIAccess, it can realize the status monitoring, alarm, system recovery and protection of remote devices, industrial cloud service functions such as remote switch machine, KVM, etc. At the same time, combined with the needs of remote site monitoring and maintenance, it can be combined to play The functional advantages of its WebAccess configuration software based on Web browser technology realize the online monitoring, debugging and maintenance of the full-featured Web client, which meets these intelligent needs and gradually extends the layout of its intelligent applications.

In the face of the many vertical industries that are being developed, demand-oriented is even more important. Zhao Guoxiang said: "For the in-depth expansion of intelligent applications for various industries, I am afraid there is no certain" universal "solution, because the characteristics of each industry are different, and its real intelligent needs are closely related to the industry Know-how. To this end, Advantech is not "single fighting alone" when developing the industry, but actively cooperates with industry-integrated integrators and influential institutions to achieve a "win-win" result.

Because of this, Zhao Guoxiang also strongly emphasized the importance of "cooperation" in the development of intelligent fields. He said: "I think that in the field of intelligence, cooperation between different automation vendors is greater than competition. As a leading provider of key components and technologies for intelligent architecture, Advantech still has to work closely with many partners. Which company can handle such a huge industrial structure. "

Zhao Guoxiang believes that the current opportunities of the majority of automation manufacturers are more prominent in the perception layer and network layer of the entire intelligent architecture. Taking the example of Advantech, its products serving the intelligent architecture include wired / wireless data collection products, smart gateway products, wireless communication products, control terminal products, and WebAccess configuration software products based on Web technology from bottom to top. Some higher-level application-level core services are provided by system integration partners and IT partners in the corresponding industrial fields. Therefore, in the face of a huge intelligent architecture, the significance of cooperation is particularly important.
