Advantech Enters the Next IoT Era by Launching the Co-Creation Model and Global Deployment

全球智能系统的领导者Advantech宣布了其进入IoT开发的下一阶段的策略。为了扩大本地运营，Advantech将充分激活各个地区的分支机构的部署。此外，将采用共同创建模型来构建工业物联网（IIT）生态系统并增强垂直域的影响。

Advantech董事会执行董事Chaney Ho表示，自去年接任执行董事以来，他一直致力于制定区域战略并为每个地区建立发展目标和方向，所有这些地区都基于其范围。

In regions with a larger scope (Europe, United States, and China), to reinforce the Advantech brand recognition in IoT and Industry 4.0, talent cultivation and an increased presence in local sales are the company’s primary goals to actively respond to recent developments in Industry 4.0 trends in the EU, plans by the U.S. government to shift production back to America, and the China One Belt One Road policy.

对于中小型地区，Ho先生表示，Advantech将开发日本，韩国，印度和俄罗斯，以产生1.3亿美元的收入。该公司还计划通过合并和收购以及合资企业建立对马来西亚和泰国IIOT组织的投资以及越南，俄罗斯和土耳其的新分支机构的投资。

Regarding developments in the European region, Miller Chang, President of Advantech’s Embedded-IoT (EIoT) Group, expressed that a sector-lead strategy has been practiced by the EIoT group since 2014. Various product divisions from headquarters have been fully connected with overseas frontline business teams and compound annual growth rate from 2014 to 2017 has reached 25%. Key development points for the next three years are:

1.提高英国，法国，德国，意大利和荷兰的五个关键地区的运营水平。
2.在新兴地区建立分支机构，以进行业务并提供技术支持。
3. Focusing on key industries, such as gaming, medical, transportation, and automotive, in Germany, UK, and the Netherlands.

With respect to development in the Greater China Region, Linda Tsai, President of Advantech’s IIoT Group, believes that the embedded systems/hardware from Phase I IOT development as well as IoT solutions platforms from Phase II are Advantech’s “double-growth engine” in IIoT development. Following this, three key strategies have been proposed.

1. Implement and IIoT sector-lead organizational development model expanding industry management and optimize regional resource allocations,
2.在大中国地区设置成功的示例，以加快硬件/软件和成像解决方案的营销。
3.积极培养当地个人，成为中高级的主管，以扩展到中国市场。

Fantine Lee, Manager of Advantech’s Corporate Investment Division, pointed out that Advantech will continue to actively promote platform management during Phase II IoT development, SRP co-creation, and the co-created digital transformation of vertical industry cloud services during Phase III through the co-creation model. As for vertical industry, cloud service companies to be co-created during Phase III, Advantech plans to establish subsidiaries in Taiwan and China and will include domains such as Smart Manufacturing, Smart Environmental Protection, and Smart Retail. These companies will be managed together with Advantech’s co-creation partners. Furthermore, opportunities in other domains, such as Smart Hospitals, Smart Factories, Industrial Vision Systems, Consultant Training, and Integration Services will continue to be promoted and co-created.

Lee小姐进一步说明了第二阶段开发，Advantech的Wise-Paas云平台将为建立SRP的全面价值链的基础。今年，将以加速的速度引入第三方软件和与SaaS供应商以及集体销售/代理商的Wise-Paas平台集成。此外，将建立与专门监视和诊断连接的设备，能源管理，数据分析，机器学习和其他垂直行业的软件开发人员的合作伙伴关系。

随着每天的过去，随着公司对II阶段和III阶段IOT开发的策略的发展，Advantech的信心变得更加清晰。为了分享这些发展，计划于2018年11月举行的IoT共同创建峰会的邀请已经在向客户和合作伙伴带入。
