ADVANTECH CO., LTD.

Advantech delivers rugged industrial computing hardware engineered for demanding operational environments. Advantech combines its rugged industrial edge hardware with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Device Edge to bridge the gap between plant floor operations and enterprise IT.

Legacy industrial systems often rely on rigid, proprietary hardware and closed software architectures that create vendor lock-in, isolate data, and make updates difficult. This inflexibility prevents organizations from adopting modern workloads like computer vision, real-time analytics, and predictive AI on the factory floor or remote sites. Advantech’s certified hardware provides a standardized, software-defined computing layer that decouples critical control applications from single-purpose devices.

By deploying Red Hat Device Edge on Advantech devices, OT decision makers can run containerized AI models and virtualized control workloads side-by-side on low-footprint systems. The integration of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux real-time kernel delivers deterministic performance with ultra-low latency, ensuring predictable cycle times for time-sensitive control tasks.

With Red Hat and Advantech, your team can manage distributed edge hardware using the same centralized security, automation, and lifecycle management tools you rely on in the data center. Across manufacturing plants, energy grids, and utilities, this joint platform helps maintain plant uptime and modernize site operations without requiring a costly rip-and-replace of existing machinery.
