Emdoor and iSoftStone Join Forces to Set a New Benchmark for HongZOS Rugged Terminal Applications
Driven by the wave of digitalization, industries and urban transportation systems are undergoing unprecedented transformation. Traditional industrial production and urban rail transit operations are no longer sufficient to meet modern requirements for efficiency, safety, and intelligence.
To address these challenges, Emdoor has partnered with iSoftStone to create a benchmark HongZOS application solution for rugged terminals—empowering both industrial and transportation sectors with cutting-edge innovation.
Building a Unified Digital Foundation for Smart Factories
Industry Pain Points
- Fragmented evolution: over 200 years of industrial development, 80 years of automation, and 50 years of informatization have led to siloed and incompatible ecosystems.
- Heterogeneous systems: equipment from different vendors uses different protocols, making interoperability difficult.
- Information silos: lack of data sharing delays decisions, wastes resources, and lowers efficiency.
- Standardization gaps: absence of unified protocols increases integration complexity.
- Security risks: sensitive industrial data must be protected against leaks and cyberattacks.
Solution
Emdoor’s domestically developed rugged product portfolio—handhelds, tablets, and laptops—supports HongZOS with distributed soft-bus capabilities, breaking down silos and enabling full interoperability.
- Unified Digital Foundation: Cross-device, cross-platform seamless integration powered by HongZOS eliminates silos and enables interconnected production.
- Unified Data Protocol: HongZOS distributed soft bus ensures standardized communication for equipment collaboration, boosting reliability and efficiency.
- Security Mechanisms: Distributed architecture and safeguards protect production data and enhance industrial system security.
Empowering Smart Rail Inspection for Efficient Urban Transit
Industry Pain Points
- Low inspection efficiency: manual inspections are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to delays.
- Inaccurate records: handwritten or basic logs often lead to incomplete and error-prone data.
- Insufficient digitalization: lack of standardized processes results in isolated data, hindering collaboration.
Solution
Emdoor’s rugged terminals, fully adapted to HongZOS 2.0, integrate seamlessly with iSoftStone’s intelligent rail inspection solution. Key features include cross-device collaboration, secure architecture, smooth user experience, and multi-functional applications such as smart sensing, real-time monitoring, and online diagnostics.
- Powered by HongZOS 2.0 – Smooth Cross-Scenario Experience: Rugged devices paired with HongZOS 2.0 deliver stability in high-load data processing, video transmission, and complex interactions.
- Tap-to-Connect – From Screenless to Seamless: Rugged tablets and PDAs support tap-to-connect tags, enabling instant interaction with equipment—transforming screenless devices into displays and extending small screens to larger ones.
- Real-Time Monitoring and Smart Alerts: Rugged handhelds monitor equipment status, trigger alerts when anomalies occur, and support inspection data logging and reporting.
