Apotop, a Carry Technology Co. Ltd. global consumer brand (TW.3054) of wireless storage devices, will showcase the latest innovative mobile accessories at COMPUTEX TAIPEI, the Asia's largest ICT trade show, during 3rd - 7th June 2014 at I0630 Nangang Exhibition Hall 1F.Founded in 2011, Apotop provides the most innovative product lines, encompassing MacBook accessories, wireless products, mobile accessories and so forth. To satisfy the consumers' practical need for smart handheld devices and to pursue a wireless smart life, Apotop mainly targets on the two product lines: APP-enabled products and mobile accessories, for both iOS and Android users. Moreover, Apotop also launches various accessories designed exclusively for iPhone consumers, with an optimistic outlook of smart handheld devices in the future.Apotop i-Selfie Wireless Snapshot for iOS"Selfie" was selected as the word of 2013 by Oxford Dictionaries, indicating that more and more consumers take snapshots by their smart phones and the trend is increasingly popular. However, phone cameras have their limitations. Examples include camera shake, caused by the pressing of the camera, or constraints on angle and distance in handheld mode. Travel photos need more than just the face in the picture. Composition and clarity matter as well. Accordingly, the Apotop launches i-Selfie wireless snapshot device for iOS users to experience an innovative way of taking snapshots.Apotop i-Selfie's simulated volume + button design does not require an APP download and can take photos directly with an iOS integrated camera via Bluetooth 4.0. It can also be used with all camera APPs that support volume up as a shutter button. Operation is very easy. When taking a selfie while holding the phone, press lightly on the remote to easily take a photo wirelessly and avoid blurry shots due to camera shake while pressing the button. Apart from selfies, special angles such as high- and low-angle shots are no longer limited by the placement of the shutter button. Using the remote enables more flexible shooting. i-Selfie's ingenuous design combines a mobile phone stand with a remote. The headphone jack decoration design means it can be carried wherever you go, so that you can enjoy the fun of wireless snapshots anytime and anywhere.Apotop Wi-Backup Wireless Smart DeviceAs smart handheld devices have now been a modern-day necessity, photo shooting and video recording gradually become part of our daily life. In order to satisfy consumers' need for multimedia data backup and sharing, Apotop launches "Wi-Backup", the 5th generation of wireless application product, combining six key functions: single-touch backup, mobile device backup, wireless streamer, two-way copy, power bank and wireless router. Through Wi-Backup, consumers no longer have to buy separate wireless hard disk. Instead, they can upgrade existing storage devices at home such as hard disk or USB flash drives with a wireless capability. A dedicated APP (support both iOS and Android system) can then be used easily to backup important data on the smart phone to existing storage devices wirelessly, making phone storage limits a thing of the past.After snapping and recording, the following file backup and sharing would be quite annoying. Once you have Wi-Backup, simply insert your SD card and USB storage device and then press the backup button, all data on the SD card will be backed up to the USB storage device. Moreover, you no longer have to wait until you get home to upload photos. Wi-Backup allows other people to browse the data in the USB device or SD card over a phone or tablet at any time. High-speed transfer means that even high-definition videos will not miss a beat.Regarding the need for travel or business, Wi-Backup can serve as a wireless router as well, turning a fixed network connection into a wireless hot spot for multiple devices. The internal 5200mAh high-capacity battery provides 14 hours of continuous use away from a power point. It can also be used as a mobile power bank. The 2A high current output keeps batteries topped up at all time, making phones and tablets charge faster.Apotop president Taron Chang said, "The increasing popularity of smart handheld devices means that smart, wireless living is now all the rage. Accordingly, our mission is to develop products that enable smart devices to offer even greater convenience and to highlight our leading position of complete functional concerns on Apotop product design. In other words, Apotop aims to differentiate market positioning from our competitors by combining practically designed hardware with easy-to-use APP software."Apotop launches i-Selfie for iOS usersApotop launches the 5th generation wireless smart device "Wi-Backup" (DW23)

Smart transportation has seen rapid development, and a variety of connected in-vehicle applications have also emerged. As an example of how complex transportation logistics could be, Van Lin, Director of In-Vehicle Computing Product Division at Advantech, explained how the Munich Airport in Germany must support a variety of modes of transportation, such as shuttle buses, luggage carriers, tank filling trucks, and forklifts. In addition, cities require vehicles used in emergency rescue operations and ports need smart transportation management. In-vehicle systems must be in place to provide real-time information management during the entire logistics process, from containers arriving at the port to goods distributed to warehouses and delivered to retail stores.Services will take up 60% of the smart vehicle market, while hardware and software licensing will take up the other 40%. While Taiwanese in-vehicle vendors have great opportunities to cut into the market, Van Lin reminded vendors they need to be aware of regional market differences. In Europe, the US, and Australia, demand for digital logistics and fleet management is similar, as these markets place a high priority on managing driver behavior and monitoring all vehicle information. Therefore, mid-range and high-end in-vehicle computers are becoming more popular. In the Asia-Pacific region, however, demand has focused on navigation and vehicle dispatch solutions, and in-vehicle computers are usually replaced by low cost black boxes. Therefore, vendors cannot introduce their solutions for the western market directly into the Asia-Pacific market.While some vendors have focused on logistics and some on fleet management, Van Lin said Advantech provides one-stop shopping solutions which cover delivery from ports to retail stores. The company provides in-vehicle computers for all kinds of transportation. Advantech's in-vehicle products fall into two series, one for on-road vehicles (such as bus, truck, logistics truck, and road rescue vehicle), and the other for off-road vehicles (such as mine carts, forklift trucks, and farm cultivators). Advantech also expects to provide complete in-vehicle computers or value-added services for fleet management vendors such as tire pressure management, in vehicle video analysis, and voice recognition systems. Real-time in vehicle video analysis can detect distance to the front car, handling blind spots, passengers, and lane departure, thereby enhancing driving safety.The use of GPS data should not be restricted to fleet management, positioning, or tracking, said Van Lin. Instead, the focus must be placed on driver behavior management. Take the US for example. Managing gas consumption, vehicle maintenance, and disaster cost control will only be effective when driver behavior management is applied. The computer must act as a driving instructor. When the driver drives in a strange way or shifts gears incorrectly, the computer will inform the driver that penalty points have been posted to his/her driving record. Instead of waiting for the data to arrive and then send it to backend servers for analysis, the fleet management system should remind the driver of any violations immediately to effectively regulate the driver's behavior. Through effective data collection and real-time management, the system can send maintenance warnings beforehand to prevent unexpected breakdowns, thereby achieving more efficient control of gas consumption and reduction of carbon emissions.Before smart logistics solutions are introduced to warehouse applications, staff must provide printed inventory records for forklift truck operators to check stock and shipments. The data will then be entered to the computer by office staff. Since the printed data is updated every two hours and must be entered into the system in the office, the process may cause shipment delays. What's worse, the front-end department has to wait for the data to be uploaded before they can find out whether the goods are ready for shipment or in shortage. After the introduction of smart logistics solutions, forklift truck operators can enter stock and shipment data directly to the in-vehicle computer, allowing the front-end department to send shipment notifications two hours ahead of time, making shipments more efficient.The automobile industry has placed a high emphasis on real-time logistics. By integration RFID systems with the LES (Logistics Execution System), the system can detect material consumption automatically and replenish the materials when they are running low. Computer-controlled unmanned vehicles will then ship the components to the assembly station via specific routes, enhancing work efficiency significantly.Van Lin used smart buses as another example. Among other public transportation options, smart bus systems can generate the highest return on investment and can enhance the quality of life of urban populations as soon as systems are implemented. Therefore, many cities have deemed smart bus systems as key projects. By introducing smart vehicle solutions to buses, the system can reduce gas consumption and prevent any corruption coming from bus drivers. The solutions can also create new revenues. For example, evaluating the effect of bus ads is much easier than ads in other places as the bus company can find out how many people have seen the ads from the bus camera. With the help of mobile apps, such as encouraging passengers to input a certain number in the ads to win a free ride, passengers will be more likely to pay attention to the ads.Smart systems can also be applied to police cars to help the police maintain public safety. Besidesvideo analysis solutions, the police also need data mobility. For example, the design of a tablet PC in the car must enable the police to retrieve the tablet with one hand in a split second since police may needs to carry the tablet outside of the vehicle at a moment's notice.Connected cars play a key role in the age of Internet of Things (IoT). A smart city must meet different demands such as smart buses; however, not only product offering but also business models can be challenging. For example, a smart bus requires the combination of various peripheral equipment and software (such as tire pressure detection sensors, cameras, and voice control software). It is impossible for Advantech to cover everything from development to manufacturing, says Van Lin. Therefore, Advantech hopes to form partnerships with more peripheral equipment vendors and share the market or customer base with its partners. Advantech will authenticate the quality of the peripheral equipment internally before providing it to global customers. By constructing an ecosystem with intelligent fleet management solutions in collaboration with its global partners, Advantech hopes to achieve win-win results.Van Lin, Director of In-Vehicle Computing Product Division at Advantech

As the cloud services and smart city concepts mature, the consumers' shopping behaviors have also gradually been transformed. For retailers, in addition to improving service performances through establishing point of sales (POS) systems, the POS systems have also been transformed from simple sales applications to those combined with more intelligent value-added applications as well as vertically integrated with various operators or services to provide better shopping experiences through the smart POS.As the smart city concept continues to mature, the POS applications that are meant to improve the sales process have also begun to undergo smart qualitative changes. CH Wu, Vice President, Intelligent Service Business Group, Advantech, indicated that the value of the POS equipment that previously focused on the retail end of e-support has continued to increase in lie with smartization. Smart function integration can serve as a tool to maintain consumer loyalty and combine cloud services to provide more value-added services to retailers.The Number of Embedded Devices has Exploded and Become the New Portal for Smart DevicesWu indicated that there will be an estimated 1.9 billion computer systems, 2.6 billion mobile phone devices, and 25 billion embedded devices worldwide by 2020. Compared to the global population, 2.6 billion mobile phones are far lower the number of people in the world, but those who own mobile phones almost have two per person. Some analysts even estimate that the number of embedded smart devices may even exceed 50 billion units.Under the smart city boom and the development of the corresponding Internet of Things (IoT) applications, smart devices are everywhere in our lives and embedded devices have become an unstoppable trend. So, how would they affect our lives? Wu indicated that a significant amount of smart devices are connected to an even bigger number of devices through the IoT, and the industry is provided with a foundation to develop innovative application services whereby the software and hardware are combined through the cloud services under the smart city boom. Against such a backdrop, it is most imperative for industry players to work out ways to combine their software and hardware into smart application services for the smart city.In the Future, Smart Devices Will Become Ubiquitous in Our LivesUnder the condition where a significant number of smart devices have penetrated our living environment, the coverage of smart devices has far exceeded that of the IT equipment or products in the past and has enabled more people to receive services from smart devices. No matter where they are - on a bus, in the hospital, or in a store - people in a smart city can obtain the required services through the smart devices and embedded computing equipment. This also illustrates the importance of the innovative value-added services created through the vertical integration of the different industries in a smart city.The key IoT network technology used to construct the smart city information network will also create more innovative value-added services from the interconnectivity between and integration of the devices. This will also force a significant amount of business models to shift towards smartization. In terms of the retail industry, how online-to-offline (O2O) operations are conducted or how sales can be combined with online services, will affect the consumers' shopping habits and behaviors. During the "iPlanet Paradigm Shift" for the next decade, the anticipated trend for the future of smart cities is that "services" will replace "products" as the mainstream needs. Under the smart city trend, various industrial solutions will also flourish in smart cities and the interconnection as well as integration of smart devices will produce innovative services that can dramatically change the existing modes of operation for various industries.Corresponding Qualitative Changes for the Retail Sector under the Smart City DevelopmentAccording to a 2014 report issued by the Retail Tech Sales on 4,100 different retailers' investments on IT equipment in 2014, 38% will invest in traditional POS, 48% in mobile POS, and 39% in non-POS hardware. It is estimated that the investments in non-POS will be used to create value-added integration for mobile applications. Analyzing the software investment data, the same research report indicates that POS software investments still account for the largest part at 44%, while 44% of the investments will be in mobile POS software. The results show that the retail sector has begun to increase their investments in mobile applications.The increase of consumers' mobility indicates that data flow for the consumer environment has become smoother. However, the increasing number of available information channels for the consumers also means reduced consumer loyalty. The more smart city applications are available, the more complicated for the retailers to conduct marketing and maintain consumer loyalty. Therefore, how to retain the customers and attract them to the store and do shopping has become critical issues for the retail industry.The Smart POS Investment: From Reducing Spending to Expanding ResourcesThe retail industry's paradigm shift under the smart city boom indicates that focus on investment in constructing POS has been gradually transitioning from how labor costs can be reduced to how more business opportunities can be created. For example, the retail sector has focused on how to reduce expenditure in the past, but the retail trend has begun to shift the focus to looking for more resources and conducting effective marketing operations to stimulate demand. The sudden changes in the retailers' investment ratios confirm the fact that the industry has started to pay attention to this future trend.In this wave of smartization, POS has also moved towards the direction of constant evolution to keep up with the smart retail trends. For example, the new generation of intelligent POS can already be integrated with the cloud services, transaction automation, promotions anytime, and MI collection; they can also support near field communication (NFC), multi-touch screens, multi-network connectivity, remote access, cloud services, etc., in terms of technical integration.Major POS Industries in Europe Invest Heavily to Change the Shopping ExperiencesWu has attended the largest exhibition (EuroShop) in Europe recently and found that the major manufacturers that provide corresponding smart retailer solutions have begun to shift their product concepts towards smartization and mobililty. Many industry players have shifted the focus of their products or solution R&D to enhancing the consumer experiences in virtual stores. How to give consumers better and more timely shopping experiences has become the focus of development for the retail solutions providers. As a smart retail solutions provider, Advantech has established a variety of smart retail service solutions that can satisfy the consumers' demands.For example, Advantech has introduced smart POS retail service solutions, digital signage systems, and a new generation of smart kiosk equipment that can integrate the membership system, smart monitoring system, cloud-based central monitoring, and remote data analysis, etc. Advantech's products and solutions are better than those created by others behind closed doors without knowing what customers need. Advantech knows that it must have a deep understand of what applications the customers want in order to satisfy their needs through a variety of smart technologies and hardware integrations.Wu indicated that Advantech has various product lines, such as the traditional POS, kiosks, and digital signage products that will satisfy the demand for system integration, as well as basic applications and cloud service support solutions with hardware-software integration. In addition to industrial computers, the company's other products include the queuing systems that are popular in China, and smart POS systems. For chain store solutions, there are integrated POS systems that can integrate the central management functions; they can even perform value-added remote management and analysis. In Taiwan, Advantech's solutions have been adopted by the management of Taipei 101, Far Eastern shopping malls, Din Tai Fung dumpling houses, and Giant bicycle stores.CH Wu, Vice President, Intelligent Service Business Group, Advantec

Specialized in the development of hydrogen fuel cell systems for real world application, YC Synergy Co., Ltd. unveiled its first fuel cell power solution designed for passenger boat applications at the Taiwan International Boat Show. At the event, the company offered free rides on Asia's first zero-emission, eco-friendly yacht, winning warm reception by visitors and boating enthusiasts.Clean power enters new era with fuel cell technologyYC Synergy was founded in 2012, and the team has many years of experience in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). Since its inception, the company has closely engaged in technological exchange and cooperation with boat builders, eventually leading to the development of a fuel cell system for electric boats. During the past few years, amid a backdrop of government initiatives to encourage the use of fuel cell vehicles in Japan, the U.S. and parts of Europe, Hyundai rolled out hydrogen-powered cars in North America and Europe while Toyota and Honda announced plans to start mass production of fuel cell vehicles in 2015. The increasingly mature fuel cell technology and applications then prompted YC Synergy to decide to put its technology to work in motor vehicles.Mark Huang, General Manager of YC Synergy, said: "Since 2012, we have been building relationships with yacht makers with an aim to seize the critical position in this industry's supply chain and to educate the market about the benefits that fuel cells offer. This year, with the launch of our first fuel cell system developed for electric boats, we are all set and ready to come to this promising application."According to a research of SBI Energy, the fuel cell market grew from US$420 million in 2007 to US$775 million in 2012, and the market is expected to grow rapidly to reach US$4.2 billion by 2017.Given an increasingly crowded market, YC Synergy has identified and developed a market niche by focusing on fuel cells for use in yachts, an industry that Taiwan is competitively positioned for internationally.A competitive differentiator created for yacht makersFor an electric boat, the power and propulsion system must deliver both instant power and sustainable cruise speed for long runtime. YC Synergy's fuel cell system solution for electric boats combines its proprietary fuel cell technology with a variety of battery and boat motor products, with all components seamlessly integrated to meet the propulsion and energy management needs of electric boats."An all-electric system not only delivers an unparalleled ride experience for passengers, but also helps to minimize the environmental footprint without the exhaust emissions and oil leaks resulting from conventional internal combustion engines," Huang said. Moreover, this system brings to Taiwanese boat builders a competitive differentiator that allows them to create and capture "blue oceans" in international markets instead of competing on prices.Christened "Mu Yang," the zero-emission, all-electric yacht that debuted at the Taiwan International Boat Show was built by Lung-ye Enterprise and equipped with YC Synergy's fuel cell technology. The boat design has the capacity to carry up to 50 people. To date, YC Synergy has developed fuel cells ranging from 1kW to 6kW, and these fuel cells can be combined in series and parallel circuits to yield higher voltage for the use of larger-sized passenger and tour boats.Market gains via integrated solutionsA hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is refueled at much the same speed as a natural gas vehicle. 100 kWh equivalent of energy can be refueled in five to 10 minutes, versus as long as eight hours for a battery counterpart. For a hydrogen-powered boat, the ease of refueling allows for greater efficiency and convenience.In the past, a multi-battery system was required to extend the runtime for an electric boat, thus adding weight and dramatically increasing costs. In comparison, a fuel cell boat can significantly extend its cruising range by simply adding hydrogen cylinders fitted on-board at a modest cost increment. The benefits of a fuel cell system not only apply to small boats, but also to large electric vessels.Huang noted that despite safety concerns over the use of hydrogen as a fuel, the growing popularity of natural gas vehicles has somehow acquainted the public with the use of gaseous fuel. The SAE International and transportation authorities in Japan and the euro zone have set technical standards for hydrogen fueling, leading to wider adoption of the hydrogen technology among automakers and driving consumer interest in and demand for hydrogen fuel cell cars.As a new entrant to the yacht industry, YC Synergy focuses its technology on fuel cells, but the demand for customized power solution has prompted YC Synergy to take on the role of an integrator, bringing together components and subsystems including the motor, the hydrogen storage system, batteries and solar panels into a whole. The company also maintains close relationships with manufacturing partners to ensure a high level of flexibility as it crafts the best hydrogen-based power systems tailored to customer requirements.The evolving hydrogen fuel cell technology, coupled with increasing penetration of fuel cell vehicles, is paving the way for rapid growth of next-generation sailing boats. According to Huang, ongoing government initiatives should accelerate the pace of development of clean-energy boating applications, drive the formation of new blocks within the yacht supply chain and spur new industry applications, and he expressed his confidence in the future prospects of hydrogen fuel cell boats.Mark Huang, General Manager of YC Synergy, unveils the company's latest fuel cell system at the Taiwan International Boat ShowVisitors stand in a long queue for a free ride on an all-electric yacht powered by YC Synergy's fuel cell technologyThe fuel cell system that powers the Mu Yang all-electric boat
