Regional challenges and technology use cases
Southern Africa is the new development region for Advantech . When we are talking about the ‘ new development regions ’, we are referring to the lack of resources and local power .
Advantech has spent around half a decade building up the local distributor power and increasing the Advantech brand awareness . Our goal is building up the subsidiary company in Southern Africa .
Due to COVID-19 , Digital Transformation and AI solutions are a trend in the region . For example , our South Africa distributor received many enquiries regarding our Advantech Factory automation solution and Fever Infection Prevention Solutions .
The HMI solution is very popular in Southern Africa , while customers are also keen to find out more about our AI solution and 5G technology – these are the trending topics that people are talking about .
Working with partners
We work with our partner through a focused online campaign which we call Focus Advantech Online cooperation . Our partner provides us with the popular topics and market trend information each
