challenge
Faced with a surge in online orders, a large logistics company realized it had to change its fulfillment processes to meet delivery demands. This necessitated the efficient management of labor costs and resources, along with the introduction of a new intelligent logistics business model. This new model required smart devices to supplement the workforce, thus enabling comprehensive control and monitoring through the implementation of cloud services.
Solution
Advantech has launched the EPC-R4680 embedded industrial PC based on the Arm platform, featuring a Rockchip Arm Cortex-A17 RK3288 quad-core processor, delivering high performance and 4K display capabilities. This solution offers dual HDMI + VGA displays with different content, a human-machine interface, and abundant I/O interfaces, including 5 USB 2.0 ports, 1 USB OTG port, 6 UARTs, Gigabit Ethernet, and 8 GPIOs. The system is highly scalable, capable of controlling racks, scanners, cameras, network connections, and future applicable devices. It supports wide-temperature environments, ensuring stable operation in semi-outdoor settings.
Effective data mining and information analysis
For rapid-access lockers, the Advantech EPC-R4680 industrial PC plays a crucial role in locker control and data acquisition. All information generated during transactions, including online shopper and seller information, shipping details, and shipping methods, is uploaded to the cloud and reused in multiple ways through an effective data mining analyzer. Its powerful computing capabilities analyze and process the data, transforming it into valuable information and synchronizing it to the cloud database. The EPC-R4680 achieves intelligent logistics solutions in this way, improving the e-commerce sector.
