Advantech Showcases Four AI-Driven Industrial Solutions at CIIF 2025
26/09/2025
Shanghai, September 26, 2025 – Advantech, a global leader in industrial IoT, made a strong presence at the China International Industry Fair (CIIF) with the theme “Edge Intelligence, Co-Creating the AI Industrial Future.” At booth 6.1H A185, Advantech unveiled its comprehensive AI+ solutions across four core sectors—manufacturing, energy, equipment, and robotics—demonstrating the complete technology path from perception to execution. The showcase sent a clear message: AI is no longer just a concept, but a practical enabler of industrial innovation through edge computing and intelligent agent platforms.
AI + Smart Manufacturing
Building the Intelligent Engine of Smart Factories
Advantech presented solutions to address three common factory challenges: complex device connectivity, limited quality control in manual assembly, and difficulties in intelligent facility management.
- Device Networking Appliances break data silos and enable fast, unified equipment integration.
- Video AI Systems improve assembly accuracy with error-proofing, sequencing, and take-time analysis.
- EHS Edge Devices provide predictive maintenance and compliance monitoring for facilities.
At the core is the AgentBuilder Industrial Agent Platform, which integrates real-time data and MES information to automatically generate KPI reports, pinpoint bottlenecks, and recommend optimizations—pushing smart factories into a new era of AI-assisted decision-making.
AI + Energy
Toward Low-Carbon, Sustainable Operations
With carbon neutrality and ESG becoming imperatives, Advantech introduced an integrated energy-carbon architecture:
- Sensing layer: smart meters and multi-function sensors capture energy data.
- Edge layer: AI controllers and gateways process and convert protocols.
- Platform layer (iEMS): visualizes energy usage, calculates carbon footprints, and ensures efficient management.
In practice, Advantech solutions deliver:
- 5–15% savings in compressor stations
- 10–25% savings in HVAC systems.
- ~10% savings in pump stations
The Energy Intelligent Agent Platform, powered by multimodal AI and edge servers with GPUs, acts as an “Energy Expert,” offering plug-and-play tools and customizable workflows for diverse enterprise applications.
AI + Equipment
High-Precision Inspection and Intelligent Control
Advantech showcased applications in new energy production lines, semiconductor defect detection, and 3D surface inspection:
- Real-time control solutions integrating RTOS with IT/OT systems for battery and EV manufacturing.
- Millisecond-level chip defect detection powered by AI vision and image acquisition platforms.
- 3D surface inspection combining 5-axis motion control with AI to eliminate inefficiencies of manual inspection.
These end-to-end solutions redefine inspection and control, driving higher quality and efficiency across advanced manufacturing.
AI + Robotics
From Perception to Decision to Control
In robotics, Advantech highlighted integrated sensing, computing, and control for real-time decision-making.
- AMR Solutions with MIC-732 integrate 2D/3D cameras and LiDAR for mapping, path planning, and obstacle detection.
- Embodied Intelligence Controller, co-developed with NIIC on the NVIDIA® Jetson Thor™ platform, delivers up to 2070 TFLOPs FP4—the industry’s most powerful edge-side controller—enabling millisecond-level multimodal sensing and closed-loop execution.
By collaborating with ecosystem partners across sensing and software, Advantech continues to expand AI robotics scenarios and redefine the boundaries of machine intelligence.
Looking Ahead
From manufacturing to energy, equipment, and robotics, Advantech’s showcase at CIIF 2025 reflects more than technology—it signals a new direction for industrial evolution. With AI and edge computing as dual engines, Advantech will deepen software-hardware integration, enhance cloud-edge collaboration, and co-create a smarter, greener, and more sustainable industrial future together with its ecosystem partners.
