Case Study: Nippon RAD achieves rapid IIoT deployment and improved equipment uptime with Advantech

Nippon RAD and Advantech Transform Japan’s Industry 4.0 Centric Solutions

Nippon RAD, a long-established Japanese IT system integrator, faced a common Industry 4.0 challenge: difficulty collecting and visualizing machine data from multi‑vendor production lines with disparate protocols. To address this, Nippon RAD partnered with Advantech and adopted Advantech hardware and software—including ADAM‑6000 Ethernet I/O modules, the UNO‑2484G edge platform with WebAccess/SCADA and WebAccess/CNC, and the MIC‑1816 with WebAccess/MCM—to build an IoT‑centric offering for smart manufacturing.

Using Advantech’s products integrated with Nippon RAD’s Konekti™ end‑to‑end IoT platform, the solution enabled rapid data collection, real‑time visualization, and predictive maintenance by centralizing sensor acquisition, analysis, and alerts. Advantech’s technologies delivered easy configuration and quick deployment, improving equipment uptime, performance, and safety while greatly reducing maintenance costs and accelerating manufacturers’ Industry 4.0 transformations.
