The announcement follows the opening of Advantech's new office in Sweden, its twelfth in Europe, which will soon be followed by the next opening in Barcelona.
All of Advantech's modern field offices support the company's ambitious growth plans over the years. Advantech Europe currently accounts for almost 15% of its global business.
The expansion of Advantech's European Service Center (AESC) will double its warehousing and office space, while its assembly services (CTOS) will nearly triple its production capacity. As its European headquarters, Advantech Eindhoven also houses the majority of its workforce and administrative staff responsible for European operations.
The building will be equipped with Advantech's latest smart technology innovations: from high-tech building automation such as temperature and lighting control in meeting rooms and reception areas, energy monitoring and facility control, to smart surveillance and an iLunch catering service for employees and guests. On the operational side, process and machine automation and intelligent enhancements to the manufacturing execution system (iCTOS MES) streamline operations throughout the factory flow: from kit to pre-configuration, assembly, integration, and quality control.
Visiting customers will be able to see firsthand how Advantech's situation room real-time monitoring of KPIs can help accelerate improvement cycles and support more flexible production to meet changing needs.
"As the world moves into the fourth industrial revolution, every traditional vertical sector is beginning to leverage IoT technologies, and things will become connected. Through big data and artificial intelligence, the world will become increasingly smarter. Advantech wants to be the enabler that drives this transition to a new era of AIOT," says Jeff Shih, Vice President of Global Services at Advantech, located at AESC.
"This ambitious expansion of the Eindhoven Service Center will help support our revenue growth target to 350 million Euros by 2025. Most importantly, the new Intelligent Building System and Intelligent Factory System we are creating here will provide customers with a compelling real-world demonstration of the value of our broad range of smart technologies.".
The official opening of the Advantech Europe Service Center is scheduled for January 24, 2018.
