Integration stage
This phase comprises of HW/SW integration, application development, and ePaper
implementation. Due to the lack of knowledge and experience on plat- forms, cus-
tomers need to spend a certain amount of time on analyzing integration problems. In
addition, ePaper implementation has a lot to do with driver and signal communication
which is not plug and play device. Therefore the customer has to learn from trial and
error and finally get the best solution with the least effort. Advantech's team has com-
pleted total standard HW/SW solution to do performance fine tune, driver integration
and application-specific customization. Consequently, we can support customers
with professional advice and information as well as shortening development time and
enabling more effective product integration.
Validation stage
After customer's ES sample is completed, the next step is a series of verification
steps. In addition to verifying a product's functionality, the related test of the product's
efficiency and stability are also an important part at this stage especially . As a sup-
portive role, Advantech primarily helps customers solve their problems in the testing
process and will give suggestions and tips as well. Through an efficient verification
process backed by our technical support, customers are able to optimize their appli-
cations with less fuss. Furthermore, Advantech's team can provide professional con-
sulting services about further testing and equipment usage, so customers can find

ucts quality and performance.
