Advantech Showcases Edge AI Solutions at Japan IT Week 2026, Accelerating Scalable Deployment of Smart Applications in Japan

Advantech (TWSE: 2395), a global leader in IoT intelligent systems and embedded platforms, announced its participation in Japan IT Week 2026, taking place from April 8 to 10 in Tokyo, Japan (West Hall 4F, Booth W20-21). As Japan’s largest IT and digital transformation exhibition, the event provides a key platform for Advantech to present its theme, “Edge Computing & AI-Powered WISE Solutions,” addressing critical challenges such as labor shortages and on-site digital transformation. Advantech will showcase comprehensive Edge AI solutions designed to help enterprises move from proof-of-concept (PoC) to real-world deployment and scalable implementation.

K.C. Liu, Chairman of Advantech, stated, “As AI technologies continue to evolve rapidly, the focus for enterprises is shifting from model development to real-world deployment and operational impact. Advantech has long been committed to advancing Edge Computing and AI, delivering high-performance, reliable, and industry-ready Edge AI platforms that enable customers to bring AI into practical applications and generate sustainable business value.” He further noted that through vertically focused solutions such as iFactory, iEquipment, iCity & iRetail, and Smart Transportation, Advantech is empowering Japanese enterprises to accelerate their journey from digital transformation toward intelligent operations and long-term growth.

Comprehensive Edge AI Portfolio Enables Flexible Deployment Across Industries

At the exhibition, Advantech will present a complete portfolio of Edge AI products, including edge servers, embedded systems, and modules, supporting diverse silicon platforms. With highly integrated and standardized designs, these solutions provide enterprises with the flexibility to rapidly deploy AI across various application scenarios, reducing time-to-market while enhancing system performance and operational efficiency.

Ecosystem Collaboration Demonstrates Real-World AI Applications

Advantech will also highlight ecosystem collaboration with leading technology partners, showcasing tangible AI deployment outcomes. For instance, its collaboration with Cybercore features a ReID-based edge behavior analytics solution for people flow management and security monitoring. In addition, its joint development with Movensys on high-speed communication gantry control demonstrates the practical value of AI in smart transportation and site management, underscoring the importance of Edge AI in real-time decision-making and operational optimization.

Advancing Robotics and Automation with Edge AI

To address the growing demand for smart manufacturing and automation, Advantech will demonstrate edge computing applications across robotic arms, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and drones. Through its collaboration with Allxon on robotic arm control solutions, integration with AMR 3D sensing technologies, and the adoption of Man-Machine Synergy Effectors’ force control technology, Advantech showcases the potential of Edge AI in machine control, sensor fusion, and real-time decision-making—enabling enterprises to improve productivity and operational agility.

WEDA Streamlines AI Development-to-Deployment Lifecycle

In addition, Advantech’s WISE-Edge Developer Architecture (WEDA) integrates the full lifecycle of AI—from development and deployment to device and operations management. Built on modular and standardized design principles, WEDA significantly lowers the barrier to AI adoption. The exhibition will also feature collaborative solutions with partners including Edge Impulse, Lineo Solutions, Micronet and QNX Japan, covering edge AI development environments, operating systems, and virtualization technologies, demonstrating a robust and integrated ecosystem.

Advantech will further drive the transition of AI from proof-of-concept to scalable commercial deployment through booth demonstrations and multiple stage presentations. The company cordially invites industry partners to visit Booth W20-21 at Japan IT Week 2026 to explore how Edge AI is enabling the next wave of industrial innovation and transformation.
