◾ AIoT Application Server – AI intelligent energy management

The industrial-grade NMS-AIoT features a unique cross-protocol AI intelligent energy management design. A single platform is integrated with 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. The record of energy usage and carbon emissions can serve as an ESG indicator to optimize energy efficiency and accelerate enterprise sustainable development goals. The innovative and future-proof design ensures flexible deployment of private IoT cloud servers for applications such as smart cities, manufacturing plants, agriculture, transportation, medical facilities, etc.

The NMS-AIoT is also developed by sourcing green energy chips that comply with the EuP Directive, reducing energy consumption by 40% and the carbon footprint of the product life cycles. Cybersecurity and the Patented Network Device Authority Management System feature further protect the AI cloud network, matching the need for AI digital transformation and global ESG standards. The NMS-AIoT has won 2024 COMPUTEX Best Choice Award - Sustainable Tech Special Award and the IoT Application Category Award. (Click video)

◾ Development of Renewable Energy Products

Being a global leader in the network communication industry, PLANET has developed complete Power over Ethernet (PoE) energy-saving management technologies. The company is the first brand in Taiwan to integrate renewable energy and Ethernet transmission technology, which can greatly improve the efficiency of network deployment in remote areas and optimize energy consumption of networks. The construction of the network is not restricted by the region, thus speeding up the application of the varied Internet of Things (IoT) applications. (Learn more)

PLANET has developed a series of Renewable Energy network Products, which innovatively integrates natural renewable energy power and intelligent network management, enabling independent network communication between metropolitan networks and remote areas without mains power, achieving both technological innovation and environmental sustainability.

If, for example, NMS-360V, the intelligent network management controller powered by renewable energy, is used to manage renewable energy power supply network for ten years, a single unit of NMS-360V can manage up to 512 units of PLANET renewable Energy powered PoE managed switch BSP-360, saving 690,688 KWH of mains power per year, equal to 2.486 x 1012 Joules of energy consumption per year. For a total of ten years, an NMS-360V unit will reduce a total of 3,515.7 metric tons of CO2e, equivalent to the carbon absorption of nearly 300,000 trees, which will not only reduce carbon emissions from network construction, but also contribute to climate change mitigation and environmental sustainability. This NMS-360V has won many recognitions, including Taiwan Excellence Award, COMPUTEX Best Choice Award, and International Innovation Awards.
