Morphology
The phrase's meaning ('modern, highly developed tools or systems') is directly and predictably composed from 'advanced' (forward-looking, highly developed) + 'technology' (tools/methods), so a B1 learner who knows both words will infer the intended sense. The adjective+noun composition is a regular, cross-linguistic pattern, making the expression immediately transparent to learners.
Etymology
The term advanced technology paints a picture of advanced tools and technology that are 'ahead' of older machines or ways, like a new device that can do much more than older ones. That's why it means 'very modern and highly developed tools or systems'.
