Case Study: World Renowned Steel Corporation achieves predictive maintenance and reduced downtime with Advantech's WISE-PaaS edge-to-cloud solution

Edge-to-cloud Total Solution and Professional Consulting Services Helps Steel Factory Implement Equipment Monitoring and Diagnosis Cloud Platform

World Renowned Steel Corporation, a leading steelmaker in Taiwan, faced difficulty maintaining hundreds of machines across vast factory areas and lacked sufficient maintenance personnel. To automate equipment monitoring and enable predictive maintenance in its cold‑rolled workshop, the company engaged Advantech and chose its edge‑to‑cloud WISE‑PaaS platform and smart edge devices for a private cloud equipment monitoring and diagnosis solution.

Advantech deployed an edge‑to‑cloud system combining WISE‑PaaS/EnSaaS, WebAccess/SCADA, WISE‑PaaS/RMM, WISE‑PaaS/Dashboard, WISE‑PaaS/OTA and MIC‑7500 smart boxes with PCIE‑1802 data acquisition to collect vibration data from hundreds of machines, run machine‑learning models, and deliver OTA updates. The solution provided real‑time dashboards, automated email/SMS alerts, and predictive diagnostics—enabling earlier defect detection, extended equipment life, reduced production downtime, and a scalable, resilient platform for future expansion.
