What are the major challenges for integration in BESS and how can Advantech’s solution can benefit users? The cost of the BESS is always the primary concern, and when implementing an IoT-based BESS, users should take the costs of hardware, software, installation, and maintenance into account. A scalable BESS is essential for future growth and development. With Advantech’s complete IoT product portfolios, users can build IoT infrastructure for their BESS with great scalability. To maintain the stable operation of BESS, Advantech’s remote I/O gateways and edge computers can effectively monitor BMS, EMS, and ECS conditions to ensure the safety of BESS, while the industrial switches, routers and protocol gateways provide robust network infrastructure with VPN and IT protocols for enhanced data security. A well-connected BESS needs to utilize reliable and secure communication infrastructure, as well as robust computing power that can work autonomously. Advantech's IoT sensing, computing, and communication products enable users to create a well-connected system for their BESS without worrying about system integration. Whether BESS is operating at a large or small scale, it requires effective remote device management to ensure overall grid stability and firm power capacity. The Advantech IoT device management service can connect and manage all IoT devices whether on a public cloud or on premises.
