HMI Application Story Overview
Coal Mine Automation System of Weight Checking and Fraud Prevention
Coal is transported from the mine to a warehouse therefore, to ensure that the correct weight and products
arrive at the warehouse, a method of checking is required. To build the platform for this application, Advantech’s
industrial touch panel monitor, FPM-3121G which features wide-temperature and sunlight readability making
it especially suitable for outdoor applications. All the information is collected and transmitted via the EKI-1526
to the UNO-2050G, and the data is then sent to the central control room, and is shown not only on the FPM-
3121G monitor. The design of Advantech’s products allows for stable and reliable operation in ultra-harsh
outdoor environments such as coal mines
Batch control system in Silicon Crystal grower & Diffusion furnace Application
In order to achieve a high quality solar cell, Silicon crystal material treatment & diffusion furnace are raw
material treatment process devices. It is a very high temperature control furnaces, around 1600 degC ,
and need a high reliable, stability & powerful operation station for operating, monitoring & integration to
control center .
For building the platform for this application, Advantech’s Embedded Automation Panel TPC-1571H is
used as master workstation in control center to monitor the information transmitted via the EKI-1526
and Supervisor s/w WebAccess, to operate the process through APAX-5000 Amonet Network for motion
control. This design of Advantech’s products allows stable and reliable operation in such ultra-harsh
environment for Silicon crystal material treatment & diffusion furnace application.

Surveillance and Monitoring System over Power Substations in Beijing Subway
Advantech’s Embedded Automation Panel TPC-1750H is used in the power substations of one of the Beijing
Subway lines. In each substation, there are meters and other terminal devices monitoring the status of
the transformer, the use of power, temperature and pressure. To monitor the substations’ activity from a
control room, the Advantech TPC-1750H 17” SXGA TFT LCD Intel
®
Atom™ Thin Client Computer together
with EKI-7656C and uno-4672 was proposed, offering remote out-of-band manageability, improved data
transmission and security, and energy efficient performance. It is the excellent choice for subway substation
monitoring and surveillance systems.

MES control system for automotive engine assembling line in China
With several production lines at their manufacturing plant, a global car manufacturer was keen
to speed up their productivity whilst increase quality and reduce error rate. For workers to have
the flexibility to choose from a range of components, management required workers to have
access to multi-touch panel computers to improve the tracking of each part of the assembly
line. If there was a failure during any part of the process the client required that assembly
workers could fix it quickly through the use of the panel so that the line wouldn’t be held up.
With an outstanding price performance ratio, the iF Award winning TPC-1840WP and TPC-2140WP are exemplified not only by their appearance but
also by their intuitive user interface. With their two pale blue soft-keys that, when lightly touched, give users quick and easy access to the information
they need, the TPC-1840WP and 2140WP allow convenient viewing of information. To further aid this, both models feature wide screens with a ratio of
16:9 and multi-touch capabilities to provide more screen area and greater control as well as viewing of information.
Our client tested several other manufacturers during the consultation process and it was decided that Advantech offered the best overall solution with
the most up-to-date panel PCs, the ability of these systems to be installed anywhere in the world and be guaranteed of the same quality of service they
are receiving in their Italian plant; Advantech’s post-sales technical support gives the customer assurances that any difficulties will be handled quickly
and efficiently to ensure that there is no loss of services; and finally the all-in-one solution which not only included the hardware but also the installation
and configuration of the clients bespoke software.
