The Competence and Design-in Center team will be tasked with providing a professional framework, advisory services, and the deployment of tailored, customized designs. Supporting 85 sales offices and support staff across Europe, the centers' expertise is focused on vertical markets such as transportation, healthcare, industrial automation, retail, and gaming.
The Competence and Design Centre is equipped with the latest advances in equipment development and testing, such as 3D printing technology for rapid prototyping, vibration tables with up to 100g of stress profiles, and climate chambers for temperature testing and aging simulations.
Advantech's expansion and investment will also include upgrades to its Innovation Hub, also located in Germering, Germany. This will include a dedicated area for training and showcasing Advantech's extensive knowledge and software solutions within IoT, which will be available on demand through the Wise-PaaS Marketplace
“Our customers demand professional and rapid design, as well as advice on customer-specific systems and solutions, and particularly competitive pricing. The Advantech Europe Engineering Center in Germering offers its customers a vast product range combined with a highly qualified German design team, embodying the quality of 'Engineered in Germany,' delivering highly efficient and, above all, stable configurations. Furthermore, we are supported by our established headquarters in Taiwan, a region that is a clear leader in electronics manufacturing. This combination makes our solutions offering in Germering strong and powerful. We want not only to maintain this appeal but also to expand our capabilities through investments in our consulting, conceptual, and design capabilities, and of course, with great loyalty to our partners,” explains Hans-Peter Nüdling, Head of Advantech's Embedded IoT Business in Europe and Managing Director of Advantech-DLoG. "In Europe, we focus on country-specific requirements as well as our strategic vertical markets for components, boards and embedded systems, and it is also important that we work closely with green partners in the IoT environment, which are complementary to our relevant IoT hardware and software portfolio," Nüdling adds.
