Software Introduction The mission of Advantech Embedded Software Services is to "Enhance quality of life with Advantech platforms and Microsoft Windows embedded technology." We enable Windows Embedded software products on Advantech platforms to more effectively support the embedded computing community. Customers are freed from the hassle of dealing with multiple vendors (hardware suppliers, system integrators, embedded OS distributors) for projects.
Advantech iManager Advantech’s platforms come equipped with iManager, a microcontroller that provides embedded features for system integrators. These features have been relocated from the OS/BIOS level to the board level to increase reliability and simplify integration. iManager operates independently of the operating system, capable of tracking boot times and running hours, monitoring device health, and deploying an advanced watchdog to manage errors in real time.
