Centered around three key technology principles– agility, automation and security – key executives and industry experts shed light on Aruba’s always-on innovations. Static networks no longer meet growing business demands or support changing security requirements. As enterprises embark on digital transformation initiatives and adapt to hybrid work environments, it is highly encouraged that they adopt a modern network architecture. This creates a seamless and secure connection for companies of all sizes to facilitate their core business functions from anywhere.

 

• Agility: The increasing ease in adopting network-as-a-service (NaaS), to drive future-ready unified, cloud-native, standards-based architecture and optimise budget and staffing resources.
• Automation​: Achieving simplified workflows and AI-powered automation to reduce time and resources required to plan, deploy, and manage networks that support remote, branch, campus, and cloud connectivity​.
• Security: Importance of the increased threat detection and protection by tapping zero trust and SASE frameworks, utilizing built-in identity-based access control and Dynamic Segmentation

As-a-service solutions are going through a global boom coupled with the proliferation of hybrid work environments, and HPE GreenLake for Aruba is transforming the way enterprises work. From enabling enterprises to swiftly deploy critical use cases such as – hybrid work, connected retail and hybrid learning to ensuring the network is always ready to support an enterprise’s needs – HPE GreenLake keeps up pace with the speed of business.

“With the new normal being defined by hybrid cloud strategies, emerging IoT environments and remote work, achieving connectivity is key in today’s disconnected world, said Steve Wood, Vice President, APJ at Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company. “We know that making connections anywhere, anytime has become imperative now more than ever, and with a focus on network modernisation - enterprises that prioritise digital transformation and acceleration will be able to address the tough challenges that come with network orchestration, management and security to eventually drive business growth.”

In addition, to deliver the highest quality of experience for customers, employees and IT teams, the transformation of WAN and security architectures with a unified Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) fabric, one that enables organizations to architect a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is crucial.

Recently, the Aruba EdgeConnect Enterprise SD-WAN platform also received the ICSA Labs Secure SD-WAN Certification – the first in the SD-WAN market to attain the certification. The certification underscores Aruba’s SD-WAN and security capabilities as top in the industry, offering customers flexibility and confidence in achieving key network and security transformation.

Aruba’s comprehensive portfolio of solutions brings enterprise networking to the home with network edge continuing to evolve to meet consumers demands being – always-on connectivity and security. For instance, with EdgeConnect Microbranch, IT departments can

ensure each employee’s experience is consistent no matter where they are located by delivering the full range of on-campus connectivity services to remote workers, accelerating troubleshooting, and maintaining corporate protections by seamlessly extending on-campus Zero Trust and Secure Access Services Edge (SASE) security frameworks to the home office/small office.

Expanding it further, Aruba rolled out the first self-locating wireless infrastructure and the Open Locate initiative to standardize methods for sharing location information. With Aruba’s self-locating APs, enterprises and service providers will be able to deliver location-aware applications more quickly, accurately, and at scale across the entire wireless LAN footprint, eliminating the need for costly and error-prone manual surveys.

What customers say?

“We had to drive a high-level digital transformation initiative in Asia Pacific and aimed to build a zero trust network to maximize cloud utilization and strengthen IT infrastructure and security. Our network required a modern, agile network architecture, and our legacy MPLS network was not viable to spearhead change,” said Irwan Yulianto, GM of IT at Panasonic. “Our deployment of the Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN solution has become a key enabler of our digital journey, building the foundation of our zero trust network and empowering us to ensure always-on performance from the edge to the cloud. We now have complete, single-pane, network visibility for ease of management and we are certainly on our way to realizing the full promise of the cloud.”

As a leading managed service provider in Thailand, our customers cover all industries including core infrastructure providers. It is instrumental that we are able to empower our geographically distributed customers with a high-performing solution,” said Sunti Medhavikul, Managing Director at UIH. “Automation sits at the heart of our tech partnership consideration as we manage our customers’ complex network requirements. Deploying the cloud-native Aruba Central management platform was key in our customers’ digital projects as it could effectively scale very large and distributed networks. With our technology partnership with Aruba, we have the ability today to modernize our customers’ networks with strict adherence to service level agreements and grow with them.”

Sponsors of the Atmosphere 2022 SEATH & India include global technology leaders and innovators AMD Pensando, Check Point, Netskope, Zebra, BT, Ekahau,TechData, VSTECS and Westcon.

Atmosphere 2022 SEATH & India is held from 20th September till 21st September in Bangkok, Thailand.

ANDRITZ INTRODUCES NEW AQUA MICROFEED SYSTEM THAT INCREASES OUTPUT UP TO 40 PERCENT

Visit the ANDRITZ STAND, 1910, at VICTAM Asia 2022

THAILAND, SEPTEMBER 08, 2022. ANDRITZ has introduced a groundbreaking innovation at VICTAM Asia 2022, currently being held at the Impact Exhibition Centre in Bangkok, Thailand, from September 7-9. ANDRITZ experts are on hand at booth 1910 to demonstrate the Microfeed System – a solution that is set to revolutionize aqua microfeed production in the region, delivering capacity increases of up to an incredible 40%.

“Historically, capacity for small microfeed pellets smaller than 2mm was limited by the die due to the larger pressures placed upon it as a result of smaller holes,” comments Michel Pereira, Global Application Manager for Feed and Biofuels at ANDRITZ. “For larger pellets the bottleneck is the extruder, therefore for microfeed pellets the extruder is typically used at 25-40% of full capacity so as not to break the die. Demand for small pellets has grown, and the challenge repeatedly emerged, how can we produce microfeed with the extruder at full capacity?”

ANDRITZ set to work to solve this challenge in 2020, and has now launched the solution at VICTAM Asia 2022. The Microfeed System incorporates an optimized die that can withstand the higher pressure caused by the smaller holes due to a stronger construction, larger diameter and bigger open surface, and a smart die base to create an equal distribution of the feed towards the larger die. This combination enables customers to produce microfeed at a higher capacity than with the dies used for microfeed up till today, at a higher quality for sinking feed less than 2mm in size and at higher uptime levels when combined with the Expansion Control System (ECS) as it significantly reduces clogging.

The system will be mounted on an extruder barrel section at the booth, that also features a dedicated venting unit. This unit delivers additional flexibility in managing a wider variety of raw materials in the production of sinking aquatic feed, leading to greater accuracy and control through real-time adjustments, higher quality and yield.

“The Microfeed System will change the face of microfeed production,” says KP Angamuthu, Regional Director, APAC. “We are constantly evolving our plant solutions portfolio to better support our customers in this industry and are delighted to have introduced this exceptional innovation at VICTAM Asia 2022. With capacity increases of up to 40% the value we are able to add to producers of microfeeds is more than significant. We have already sold 12 systems ahead of the official launch, and we are looking forward to welcoming customers both new and existing to our stand to view this development and to demonstrate the impact it has made already across our test base.”

In addition to introducing the Microfeed System at the booth, Michel Pereira will also present an overview of efficient use of energy in the extrusion process on 7 September at Aquafeed Horizons – Towards sustainable Aqua feed, followed by a presentation on the Andritz Microfeed System on 8 September at the AFTaN Awards Conference.

THAILAND, SEPTEMBER 08, 2022. ANDRITZ has introduced two groundbreaking innovations for the animal feed market at VICTAM Asia 2022, currently being held at the Impact Exhibition Centre in Bangkok, Thailand, from September 7-9. ANDRITZ experts are on hand at booth 1910 to demonstrate how the company’s advanced technologies ensure that manufacturers in the region can remain competitive, increase productivity, reduce waste, and maintain the highest levels of quality.

Introducing the 3-Roll Assembly Upgrade for the Paladin 2000, and Metris Vibe – a groundbreaking, integrated solution for condition monitoring.

• The 3-Roll Automatic Roll Adjustment system for the Paladin 2000 pellet mill enables different distances to be set between the die and the rolls. It gives feed manufacturers the ability to select the perfect distance between roll and die for different recipes on a single pellet mill, ensuring a higher-quality and more stable product, including a broader range of by-products. Also, to support the efficiency of the 3-roll automatic roll adjustment system, operators have the additional advantages of having roll slip control, quick die change, and increased motor power available as options. Tangible operating and process benefits are what customers can expect to see, including improved pellet quality, increased capacity and improved power utilization with an assembly that is durable, versatile and simple to operate.

• Metris Vibe is a wireless vibration and temperature sensor that can monitor the health status of mechanical equipment regardless of the original manufacturer. Durable and wireless, the sensor works in all rough environments and delivers lower operating costs through predictive maintenance as well as increased uptime, reduced maintenance, higher production reliability, and improved safety.

• The Vibe sensor measures the vibration and temperature input of key equipment, analyzing corresponding data points and comparing them with the extensive vibration data contained in the diagnostic database. Its predictive capabilities not only minimize the risk of a catastrophic failure, operator injuries and high equipment repair costs, they also deliver increased productivity by minimizing unplanned production stoppages, thus maximizing availability and delivering uptime advantages. Proactive advice and alerts are provided through the sensor’s powerful operating program via mobile app or web browser – anytime and anywhere. Securely integrated independently of customers’ IT systems, this helps on-site maintenance teams identify the root cause of a problem quickly and enables inspections and maintenance to be focused and performed according to specific conditions before a more severe problem develops.

In addition, ANDRITZ Feed & Biofuel experts will deliver complementary presentations to provide further insight to customers. At Build my Feed Mill on 9 September, Faisal Baig, Vice President, Aftermarket, will provide an in-depth look at Metris Vibe, while Anders Lydom, Product Manager for Animal Feed, will present further details on the 3-Roll Automatic Roller Adjustment.
