Sanei Hytechs
Since the dawn of LSI, Sanei Hytechs Co., Ltd. have made 40 years of progress as a company specialized in LSI design. It is one of few companies that can support all processes in LSI design, including both analog and digital circuit design, as well as layout and verification. Sanei Hytechs have also accumulated a wealth of embedded software and middleware development technology. In addition, the company is developing systems that integrate devices and software, including IoT solutions. Sanei Hytechs have over 300 employees and 90% of them are technical experts, making the company one of the largest semiconductor design service companies in Japan.
To implement an IoT infrastructure, it is necessary to build a platform on a cloud or a server that accumulates and visualizes different types of sensor data sent by edge devices. However, in the manufacturing industry, it is not always possible to use cloud-based IoT platforms for security reasons. In addition, when building an IoT platform on a cloud, its cost is commensurate with the volume of data transmission and accumulation.
On the other hand, building a platform on a server requires setup and other procedures that are time-consuming. Sanei Hytechs needed a solution that is easy to use with minimized engineering time and higher cost efficiency.
Being a QNAP technology partner for years, Sanei Hytechs has chosen to build on-prem IoT platforms with a series of QNAP NASes and its QIoT Containers capabilities. The QNAP NAS lineup comprises models for virtually all business scales, and all of them use the same QNAP-developed QTS operating system with a unified user interface. Additionally, QIoT Containers make IoT service implementations easy with individually containerized packages for the same platform to facilitate streamlined software development and effortless service migration between systems.
Sanei Hytechs uses QIoT Containers to create solutions that are compatible with all QNAP NASes regardless of their scales and actual hardware architectures. Also, the web GUI for development can be easily operated with mouse clicks. These have helped them deliver more customer requirements with less development costs and time. And the on-prem IoT infrastructure provided by QNAP NASes also makes possible flexibility and agility without constraints associated with the cloud.
Sanei Hytechs is also combining QIoT Containers and QuAI, QNAP’s AI development toolkit, for creating an AI platform which learns from data collected by IoT systems. Overall, Sanei Hytechs is impressed at how QNAP IoT solutions streamline developments and help regain control of developing/operating costs.
