Challenges and Requirements for Factory Automation Applications The ever-rising cost of labor has become a key concern for manufacturers, especially in the last few decades. Now, as computer-controlled robotics finally come into their own, manufacturers are looking for fast and reliable ways to automate part or all of their manufacturing. The challenge is data ‒ the more production steps that are automated, the more data needs to be collected and analyzed. Apacer, as a leading industrial manufacturer, is one of the few companies with the experience base required to develop solutions for factory...

Challenges and Requirements Since data gathering and analysis is necessary for constant improvement, the automation industry demands excellent data integrity. Apacer delivers this in spades, thanks to advanced algorithms like DataRAIDTM, carefully tweaked by our experienced software engineers. Endurance and power stability are also concerns, but again, these are areas in which Apacer s technology excels. Over-provisioning helps extend operational lifetimes, while DataDefenderTM prevents data corruption that can occur when power fails unexpectedly. For factories where sulfur or contaminants pollute...

Data Integrity Apacer Smart Read RefreshTM plays a proactive role in avoiding read disturb errors from occurring to ensure the health status of all blocks of NAND flash. Developed for read-intensive applications in particular, Smart Read RefreshTM is employed to make sure that during read operations, when the read operation threshold is reached, the data is refreshed by re-writing it to a different block for subsequent use. Data Retention Data retention refers to how long stored data can be maintained while a storage device is powered down. Apacer offers a number of optimization strategies to help...

Power Stability Apacer DataDefenderTM combines both firmware and hardware mechanisms to ensure data integrity. When power disruption occurs, the hardware mechanism will notice and trigger the controller to run multiple write-to-flash cycles to store data. Then the firmware will check that the data was correctly written to the NAND flash after the power disruption, preventing data loss. Low power voltage detected CorePower circuit triggers backup capacitors Power-loss data recovery mechanism Firmware Solution + CorePower Apacer s hardware-based technology is designed to prevent data loss and ensure...
