Advantech, Behr Technologies, Hitachi Solutions, and Microsoft partner to develop IIoT connectivity solutions
研華、BTI、日立以及微軟聯(lián)手開發(fā)工業(yè)物聯(lián)網(wǎng)連接方案

July 18, 2018–Advantech, Behr Technologies (BTI), Hitachi Solutions America, and Microsoft announced that the companies are collaborating to deliver wireless communications solutions with scalability, and security for private industrial internet of things (IIoT) networks. Since no single technology provider can enable IIoT alone, this joint effort will provide a mass-market, end-to-end wireless gateway solution to ensure connectivity with sensors for production-level industrial and commercial applications. The solution will deliver scalability, building penetration, integration and interoperability with legacy systems.

7月18日——研華、貝洱技術(shù)（BTI）、美國日立解決方案和微軟共同宣布，四家公司正聯(lián)手合作，為專用工業(yè)物聯(lián)網(wǎng)（IIoT）網(wǎng)絡(luò)提供可擴(kuò)展性和安全性的無線通信解決方案。由于沒有任何一家技術(shù)提供商可以獨(dú)立實(shí)現(xiàn)IIoT，該合作將提供一種面向大眾市場的端到端無線網(wǎng)關(guān)解決方案，確保與生產(chǎn)級工業(yè)和商業(yè)應(yīng)用的傳感器連接。該解決方案將為遺留系統(tǒng)提供可擴(kuò)展性，增加穿透力、集成度和互操作性。

This collaboration aims to meet demand in the marketplace for out-of-the-box wireless IIoT communications solutions to connect the various sensors used by industrial and commercial customers in their business intelligence efforts. The foundation for the joint effort is BTI MIOTY, a low-power, wide-area network (LPWAN) communications solution that uses the ETSI standard telegram splitting ultra-narrow band (TS-UNB) technical specification for throughput networks, enabling organizations to deploy private IoT sensor networks. Using industry-standard Advantech gateways, BTI MIOTY will transmit up to 1.5 million messages per day within a radius of five to 15 kilometers, with no carrier requirements. Layered atop this infrastructure, Hitachi Solutions’ IoT Service Hub will enable organizations to connect and monitor devices and analyze the data in real time to improve operational efficiencies.

此次合作旨在滿足市場對開箱即用的無線工業(yè)物聯(lián)網(wǎng)通信解決方案的需求，以便將工業(yè)和商業(yè)客戶使用的各種傳感器連接到商業(yè)智能工作中。共同努力的基礎(chǔ)是BTI MIOTY，一種低功耗廣域網(wǎng)（LPWAN）通信解決方案，使用ETSI標(biāo)準(zhǔn)電報(bào)分割超窄帶( TS - UNB )吞吐量網(wǎng)絡(luò)技術(shù)規(guī)范，使組織能夠部署專用物聯(lián)網(wǎng)傳感器網(wǎng)絡(luò)。BTI MIOTY使用行業(yè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的研華網(wǎng)關(guān)，在不需要運(yùn)營商的情況下，在5到15公里范圍內(nèi)每天傳輸信息多達(dá)150萬條。基于此基礎(chǔ)架構(gòu)的日立解決方案物聯(lián)網(wǎng)服務(wù)中心，幫助機(jī)構(gòu)能夠?qū)崟r(shí)連接和監(jiān)控設(shè)備并分析數(shù)據(jù)，從而提高運(yùn)營效率。

The first application resulting from this collaboration is an approach to workforce safety using the BTI MIOTY LPWAN wireless solution on an industry-standard gateway. Using a wearable device to monitor the heart rate of workers in industrial high-risk environments, data on the health of hundreds of workers is transmitted over unlicensed, sub-gigahertz frequencies via BTI MIOTY to a single Advantech base station. From there, it is communicated to the Microsoft Cloud, where Hitachi Solutions’ IoT Service Hub can provide actionable insights on workers’ health and send alerts when workers are in danger. 

此次合作產(chǎn)生的第一個(gè)應(yīng)用是在行業(yè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)網(wǎng)關(guān)上使用BTI MIOTY LPWAN無線解決方案來實(shí)現(xiàn)員工安全。使用可穿戴設(shè)備監(jiān)測工業(yè)高風(fēng)險(xiǎn)環(huán)境中工人的心率，通過BTI MIOTY將數(shù)百名工人的健康狀況數(shù)據(jù)通過未經(jīng)許可的亞千兆赫頻率傳輸?shù)絾蝹€(gè)研華基站。從那里，它被傳達(dá)到微軟云，在那里日立解決方案的物聯(lián)網(wǎng)服務(wù)中心可以提供有關(guān)工人健康的可操作的見解，并在工人處于危險(xiǎn)時(shí)發(fā)出警報(bào)。
