PLANET Technology, a global leading provider of IP-based networking products, received two honors in this year’s COMPUTEX 2024 Best Choice Award for its AIoT Application Server (NMS AIoT) in the IoT Applications Category Award and Sustainable Tech Special Award. The platform is designed to enhance AI energy management and allows enterprises to optimize energy-saving management while establishing a secure AI private cloud network.

The Best Choice Award is the official award category for the world-renowned AIoT and advanced technology exhibition, COMPUTEX TAIPEI. Criteria of the award focus on the uniqueness of the product's functions, innovation and market potentiality. Winning products are considered the best products of the year whereby international buyers tend to get better procurement options.

PLANET’s AIoT Application Server is the industry’s first cross-protocol smart energy management system designed for a wide range of AIoT applications. NMS-AIoT is also the first to integrate multiple wireless and wired transmission protocols including LoRa, Wi-Fi, HaLow, Modbus and more. The platform utilizes AI technology to retrieve, analyze and manage data from various IoT sensors, including, but not limited to, current meter, water leak, temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, light level, door/window sensors, etc. By using the platform’s edge computing AI energy management and intelligent user interface, the administrators can monitor big data from the environment in real time. The record of energy usage and carbon emissions can help as an ESG indicator to optimize energy efficiency and accelerate enterprise sustainable development goals.

The industrial-grade PLANET AIoT Application Server is developed with the principle of green product development which includes sourcing green energy chips that comply with the EuP Directive, reducing energy consumption by 40% and carbon footprint of the product life cycles. NMS-AIoT ensures a secure AI private cloud network with its cybersecurity and patented identity authentication mechanism as well as certified IEC 62443-4-1 Security for Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS). The platform will receive software and hardware upgrade support to ensure future-proof technology expansion while also providing flexible deployment of private cloud IoT network applications of smart cities, manufacturing plants, agriculture, transportation, healthcare facilities and more.
