Built-in Intelligent Management Tools — Advantech SUSI API and WISE-Devi-
ceOn
Advantech SUSI API provides a valuable suite of programmable APIs such as multi-
level watchdog, hardware monitoring, system restoration, and other user-friendly
interfaces.
SUSI API is an intelligent self-management cross platform tool that monitors system
status for problems and takes action in the event of abnormalities. SUSI API offers a
boot up guarantee in critical, low-temperature environments so systems can auto-
matically recover when voltages dip. SUSI API makes the entire system more reliable
and intelligent. ARK-7060 also supports Advantech WISE-DeviceOn software. This
software supports remote management; and enables users to monitor, configure, and
control a large number of terminals simultaneously, making maintenance and system
recovery simpler.
