Battery Forum, Warsaw, Poland, May 20-22​, Stand: D1.20b

Warsaw, Poland, 30 April 2025 – Industrial IoT pioneer Advantech will exhibit at Battery Forum Poland, using the event to highlight how its extensive IIoT and edge solutions portfolio enables smarter, more reliable, and secure energy systems. With a complete ecosystem of industrial hardware and software, Advantech empowers energy solution providers to build future-ready systems with minimal integration risks.

At stand D1.20b, Advantech will be offering visitors the opportunity to discover how this technology helps to optimize Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), increases operational visibility, and ensures protection from cybersecurity threats. The stand will feature a dedicated consultancy area where visitors can engage with Advantech’s professional team of experts.

Advantech will also take it to the stage with a joint presentation alongside its partner, Transition Technologies Control Solutions — a leading IT and OT integrator in the energy sector, specializing in cybersecurity and BESS.

Connectivity & Cybersecurity live demonstrations

Advantech will showcase how its edge-to-cloud connectivity solutions support the digitalization of energy infrastructure, helping customers enhance grid responsiveness, improve asset visibility, and ensure secure, real-time control across energy storage and distribution systems. From ruggedized edge servers to industrial gateways, Advantech’s offering integrates the latest processing technologies and rich communication interfaces, designed to operate reliably in demanding energy environments.

By bridging the gap between OT and IT, Advantech’s solutions support a variety of protocols to enable seamless data exchange between field devices and control centers. A broad portfolio of energy-ready products, including servers, remote I/Os, protocol gateways, industrial networking devices, controllers, and displays, ensures secure communication and compliance with the highest standards of cybersecurity and grid protocols.

Advantech’s featured demonstrations on Connectivity and Cybersecurity at the event will include:

  • EdgeHub: Advantech’s centralized platform that streamlines edge connectivity, device management and data analytics, distributing intelligence across edge devices. The demonstration will show visualization dashboards, device management, and real-time alerts, offering system integrators a cost-efficient way to unify operations across distributed energy assets.
  • EdgeLink: Advantech’s software that brings extensive protocol conversion capabilities to their industrial cellular router range. EdgeLink simplifies the complex task of transferring data between OT and IT systems.

Besides these demos, Advantech will exhibit its offering for Performance Management and Grid-Scale Infrastructure for Battery Energy Storage Systems.

Solving challenges in BESS

Energy and BESS providers face a number of persistent challenges, from managing cybersecurity threats and dealing with unreliable, short-lifecycle hardware to navigating fragmented vendor landscapes with no single provider offering a complete IIoT solution. Advantech addresses these concerns head-on. Their industrial-grade devices are engineered for reliability and backed by extended warranties of up to 10 years. The comprehensive portfolio covers everything from servers, routers, switches, controllers, and I/O modules to industrial displays and software, streamlining integration and simplifying supplier relationships. With compliance to energy industry standards, such as IEC 61850-3, Advantech solutions reduce downtime and recovery costs. The products also meet stringent cybersecurity standards and are designed to support critical infrastructure compliance, including the upcoming NIS2 Directive.

Advantech’s participation in Battery Forum Poland marks a strategic move to support local partners and integrators in a market previously dominated by offshore suppliers. Backed by a strong regional presence, a European Configure to Order Service (CTOS) and logistics facilities, and a commitment to long-term reliability, Advantech is bringing its global energy IoT expertise to Battery Forum Poland, 20-22 May, Stand D1.20b.
