For more than three decades, Micron has been a leader in developing memory solutions for the industrial market. This experience led to the development of the IQ Matters program in 2017, which forms the basis for the new IQ Partner Program. Micron shares Advantech's commitment to the industrial market: focusing on high-quality, robust, and durable products. Micron's memory and storage solutions, along with advanced processor technology, are ideal for industrial IoT applications that prioritize minimizing unplanned downtime, such as factory automation, surveillance, intelligent transportation, and server applications. Micron's unbuffered and registered DDR4 DIMMs, SATA III SSDs, and U.2 PCIe 3D NAND TLC are qualified for Advantech systems to deliver superior performance and reliability.
The Advantech SKY server, industrial PCs, and edge computers are widely used in many mission-critical applications, including medical equipment, smart manufacturing, transportation control systems, and environmental and energy solutions. The Advantech SKY-6000 GPU server is used for AI deep learning and edge inference, while the SKY-8000 is a carrier-grade server for telecommunications applications. The HPC and ASMB servers focus on medical imaging systems and AOI systems for manufacturing in the sensitive semiconductor industry. For edge workstations, the compact, fanless MIC-770 system is used in food and beverage or electronics manufacturing, electronic toll collection, facial recognition, and autonomous vehicles. In these applications, system reliability and maintenance control are paramount. The Advantech SKY server and MIC series are now validated with Micron SSD memory to provide minimal maintenance and downtime for customers.
“Advantech is excited to partner with Micron in the IQ Partner Program. Advantech and Micron share the same IQ value proposition, with longevity, reliability, quality, and serviceability as top priorities. These value-added characteristics provide significant benefits to customers requiring mission-critical applications in the industrial and embedded markets,” said Linda Tsai, President of Industrial IoT at Advantech.
“The Industrial Internet of Things continues to transform the manufacturing world at a rapid pace; it is changing the way industrial solutions are designed, which now require more coordination and collaboration in technology and product development. The IQ Partner Program allows us to work in partnership with a company like Advantech to deliver high-quality, robust, and durable industrial-grade computing systems to the market,” said Kris Baxter, Vice President of Embedded Business at Micron.
Working hand-in-hand with global technology leaders like Micron means Advantech can continue to deliver innovative product solutions and applications in AIoT.
