Through collaborative solutions, we achieve the essential 24/7 continuous operation and easy management in the medical field. Stratus Technologies announces that it will begin offering the medical device integration platform "TQMO-XA" in combination with the non-stop edge computing "Stratus ztC Edge," in collaboration with Tecmo LLC, which creates a medical ICT platform that connects and utilizes information across medical systems, starting August 22, 2024. This is the optimal data platform for medical settings that require 24/7 operation. "TQMO-XA" offers the following benefits: - By converting medical data into a compatible format, it connects various medical devices and enables vendor-free data integration. - By incorporating various data and performing centralized operations, it enhances the freedom of output data design, allowing for outputs tailored to devices and treatment teams. - Operating on "ztC Edge" enables the system to run stably 24/7 while reducing the workload of system administrators.

"Achieving High Availability and Operability in Production Management Systems at Factory Sites Without System Administrators" In order to support production innovation and technology succession at Daido Rubber Co., Ltd., a manufacturer specializing in industrial rubber hoses, the zero-touch edge computing platform "Stratus ztC Edge" has been adopted as a stable data utilization foundation. It has been announced that nearly two years since the new system went live in March 2021, it continues to operate without any issues while supporting factory sites without system administrators. The introduction of this system has resolved the challenges previously faced by the company, including the "lack of a stable data foundation to stabilize supply and demand in small-lot production of various types" and the "operational rate issues of the production management system that supports manufacturing." Key points of adopting "ztC Edge" are as follows: ■ "High availability" that ensures business operations do not stop even in the event of a failure ■ "Zero-touch" operation that does not require system technicians, making fault replacement and operational management easy with plug-in capabilities ■ Achieving a high ROI (return on investment)

- Simple, protective, and autonomous edge platform security and high availability significantly reduce the operational management burden on IT personnel. - We are pleased to announce that the IT system managing the shipping operations of Zip Co., Ltd., which develops a business centered on logistics support services, has adopted Stratus Technologies' non-stop edge computing platform "Stratus ztC Edge." With redundancy and high availability, it has been operating without any issues for 1 year and 10 months since its launch. In addition to ROI, ease of use, and compact design, "ztC Edge" meets the requirements for Zip's operations. Since its launch in February 2021, "ztC Edge" has been operating without any troubles for 1 year and 10 months. This impressive record of being "non-stop" has been highly valued, leading Zip to sequentially introduce "ztC Edge" at each of its locations. Currently, 4 sets are in operation, and the introduction of 2 more sets is underway.

This seminar is an on-demand broadcast of the seminar held on June 9, 2022. In response to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and the shortage of personnel on-site, the movement towards automation and labor-saving measures that do not rely on manual labor is accelerating in manufacturing and logistics environments. Digital transformation (DX) cannot wait! The key to success lies in visualizing production status using IIoT, utilizing AI for inspection and analysis, and automating logistics through automated warehouses and AGVs. Additionally, it is essential to ensure the stable operation of systems that serve as the foundation for data utilization. In this seminar, we will introduce points to consider for DX in manufacturing and logistics, steps for solving challenges, and solutions along with case studies of implementations. ★ Key points we want to convey in this seminar: ◎ Insights into solving challenges in manufacturing and logistics environments based on extensive system construction experience. ◎ The benefits of one-stop construction from equipment installation to infrastructure, wiring, IT/OT networks, and systems. ◎ What kind of edge environment is necessary for processing large amounts of data in real-time?

The "Stratus ztC Edge 200i/250i" utilizes powerful Intel Xeon processors with up to 10 cores and up to 2TB of NVMe storage to process large amounts of edge data generated on-site in real-time, achieving a 60% increase in processing speed and supporting the virtualization of more complex and large-scale applications. Furthermore, these enhancements enable the processing of massive data generated by IIoT (Industrial IoT) through on-site IoT sensors and various devices. Additionally, by introducing a wizard that allows for redundancy configuration in just a few clicks on a highly available virtual infrastructure, it has become easier to build and operate compared to traditional methods, further strengthening "Zero-Touch Computing" and addressing the shortage of IT technicians on-site. The entry-level model "Stratus ztC Edge 200i," which pursues compactness and low cost, is priced at 1.45 million yen, while the model "Stratus ztC Edge 250i," which supports FT (Fault Tolerant) mode for edge environments that cannot tolerate even a moment of system downtime, is priced at 2.158 million yen. (Both prices are for a redundant configuration with a 2-node set, excluding tax.)
