The solution will help with further analytical solutions and services including counting the number of passengers, heat mapping and crowd management. These solutions were demonstrated during Innotrans 2016 in Berlin last week on Advantech's corporate stand at the show.

Advantech has been providing automation solutions and embedded systems in the transport and logistics sector, since 1983. These consist of certified industrial computers and robust displays. In response to an increasing demand for video surveillance and applications, Advantech Europe has entered into a strategic collaboration with Mobotix, the manufacturer of intelligent, high resolution IP cameras and VMS systems. Examples of applications on which the collaboration is targeted: surveillance on the transport of people and goods, the transportation of money and valuables, and care providers.

"Mobotix delivers high quality and resolution cameras, which fits well within our transport sector focus", says Jeroen Baerents, Business Development Manager at Advantech Europe. "We see Mobotix as a strong eco system partner, with a good cooperation model. We therefore look forward to a strong and rapidly growing relationship".

"Advantech and Mobotix are manufacturers that complement each other fully in the transportation sector", according to Marc van den Heuvel, Business Development Manager of Mobotix in the Benelux. "This is why this collaboration is a win-win for both companies, as well as every transporter and transport services provider".
