Invitation and ObjectivesIntegral System had the honor of being invited to the premises of Advantech in Taiwan for a five-day immersion, from February 13 to 18, 2023, dedicated to training on the
Wise-IoT software suite. This event brought together over 60 Advantech partners from 11 different countries around the world, providing a unique opportunity to share experiences and visions while discovering the future development plans of the software suite.
Technical DeepeningThe
first three days were dedicated to in-depth technical learning. By using the Wise-IoT software suite coupled with the hardware provided by Advantech (
sensors, acquisition modules, gateways, etc.), we were able to discover new functionalities. In collaboration with our counterparts from around the world, we designed and presented a functional demonstration illustrating a concrete use case. This practical exercise helped strengthen our technical skills and provide feedback from field experiences. Advantech's receptiveness to our suggestions confirmed their commitment to integrating user needs into their development process.
Marketing and Commercial Focus
The last two days focused on the marketing and commercial aspects of the Wise-IoT suite. We attended inspiring presentations of successful use cases, discovered the strategies of the sales teams, and explored the roadmaps as well as market trends. These sessions also allowed for constructive dialogue: we shared our business challenges and ideas, which were taken into consideration by Advantech. Among the topics discussed, we emphasized the importance of complying with European regulations regarding data protection, such as GDPR, to guide the development of the proposed cloud infrastructures.
Assessment and Perspectives
This training was an enriching experience, both technically and strategically. Integral System emerges from this immersion better equipped to support its clients and collaborate closely with Advantech in developing solutions tailored to the technical and business needs of European markets.
At the end of the stay, Advantech organized a bike outing for all partners to discover the Tamsui River of Taiwan as well as the Guandu Temple, built in 1712.
