The Cutting Edge of Remote Device Management
 |
The ever-rising cost of labor has become a key concern for manufacturers, especially in the last few decades. Now, as computer-controlled robotics finally come into their own, manufacturers are looking for fast and reliable ways to automate part or all of their manufacturing. The challenge is data ‒ the more production steps that are automated, the more data needs to be collected and analyzed. |

Data gathering and analysis is necessary for constant improvement
The automation industry demands excellent data integrity. Apacer delivers this in spades, thanks to advanced algorithms like DataRAID™, carefully tweaked by our experienced software engineers. Endurance and power stability are also concerns, but again, these are areas in which Apacer’s technology excels. Over-provisioning helps extend operational lifetimes, while DataDefender™ prevents data corruption that can occur when power fails unexpectedly. For factories where sulfur or contaminants pollute the air, Apacer offers resistant coatings and patented anti-sulfuration protection. And all the while, the smooth operation of the production facility can be monitored remotely thanks to Apacer’s Double-barreled Solution.

Apacer’s Premium Package: RoboPro™
Factory automation can be an extremely complicated process. With that in mind, Apacer assembled a selection of value-adding technologies into its factory automation technology set, known as RoboPro™. These technologies help deliver the reliability and processing speed that industry leaders demand. RoboPro™ is divided into three levels of sophistication: Select, Upgrade and Supreme, as detailed in the diagram below.

-
DataRAID™
With advancements in NAND Flash memory processes, the number of storage units per block has significantly increased, creating a heightened need to safeguard data reliability. Apacer addresses this concern with its innovative DataRAID™ technology.
-
End-to-end Data Protection
This technology ensures that whenever data moves from the host to the controller or from the controller to DRAM or NAND flash, error checking is applied. In some cases, error correction will also be part of the circuit.
-
Smart Read Refresh™
Apacer's Smart Read Refresh™ technology is designed to mitigate read disturbances in NAND Flash memory.
-
Over-provisioning
Apacer’s SSDs support over-provisioning, which sets aside a certain portion of the physical capacity of the memory to carry out garbage collection, wear-leveling and bad block management. The result is a longer operating lifetime.
-
SLC-lite
What is your priority when choosing NAND flash type for your industrial automation systems: performance, reliability, or cost?
-
CorePower
Apacer's CorePower is a hardware-based technology designed to prevent data loss and ensure the stability of data transmission during a power outage by implementing backup power supply that allows sufficient time to move all cached data to NAND flash.
-
DataDefender™
Apacer's DataDefender™ technology is designed to protect SSDs from data loss or corruption in a sudden power outage.
-
Signed Firmware
Apacer’s Signed Firmware technology is a secure way to update firmware. By including a digital signature, a firmware update will be authenticated by the Apacer SSD before a firmware update is performed. This extra layer of protection keeps drives secure.
-
TCG Opal 2.0
TCG Opal handles the encryption/decryption of information within the device without requiring a host, enabling fast encryption/ decryption and minimizing the risk of data leakage without undermining system performance.
-
Anti-Sulfuration
Apacer's world's first patented anti-sulfuration memory modules and anti-sulfuration SSDs with the industry's highest level of anti-corrosion certification can meet the needs of industrial products facing harsh environments.
-
Conformal Coating
Conformal coating improves product reliability when applied on the surface of printed circuit boards. This protective film can safeguard devices from dust ingression and liquid immersion.
-
Nano Coating
This IP57 waterproof and dustproof solution is especially ideal for SSD modules as it provides invulnerable protection for the components on the devices.
-
Sidefill
Apacer’s Sidefill technology strengthens the connections between solder joints and their board, making them more robust and vibration-resistant. It also allows for heat dissipation to offset thermal damage.
-
Underfill
Underfill technique is used under the BGA to strengthen solder joints, and reinforce the product’s resistance against vibration and thermal shock
-
Wide Temperature
Apacer’s products are designed with wide temperature support to ensure operation reliability in extreme temperatures ranging from -40ºC to 85ºC.
-
SSDWidget 2.0
Apacer SSDWidget 2.0 is a comprehensive disk monitoring and maintaining utility. Designed with the concepts of S.M.A.R.T., SSDWidget2.0 can monitor SSD’s health-related information and provide SSD status for SSD lifetime monitoring and workload analysis.
