NEW Product: Raspberry Pi CM4 Powered Industrial Edge Controller EdgeBox-RPi-200
By Jena Leung 2 years agoAs the Raspberry Pi approved design partner and reseller, Seeed Studio provides unique Raspberry Pi solutions through a combined portfolio of standardized hardware and customization services to assist in tackling real-world challenges.
Why Raspberry Pi for Industry
“Robust and affordable, Raspberry Pi technology has been deployed in tens of thousands of applications in a variety of industries across the world.” , claimed by Raspberry Pi. More and more enterprises and industries think it is suitable for real-world industrial applications.
The launching of Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4) has brought together the ease of prototyping and development of application-specific carrier boards with industrial components to provide a durable, reliable computing solution for industrial application.
For IIoT application, Raspberry Pi powered industrial devices utilize cyber-physical systems having embedded software systems and dispose of an Internet address to connect and be addressed via the Internet of Things (IoT), remoting monitoring or collecting data.
You may wonder about whether Seeed Studio has any actual practical applications of the Raspberry Pi regarding larger businesses, organizations and even factories. Here is the answer, an industrial Raspberry Pi-based solution: EdgeBox-RPi-200.
What is EdgeBox-RPi-200
EdgeBox-RPi-200 series are all-in-one Raspberry Pi-based industrial edge computing controllers, combining multiple industrial purposes. It is equipped with up to 4GB RAM and 32GB eMMC for various requirements.
Designed as high-scalability and rugged industrial hardware, mounted with rich IO resources and supported by the great Raspberry Pi industrial software ecosystem, it is an ideal choice for smart automation and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions.
EdgeBox-RPi-200 series controllers represent the conceivable alternatives for increasing edge automation and industrial interconnecting control. Being small and compact, they can perform real-time operation and multi-process controlling for multiple industrial purposes, not only the PLC & PAC but also the IIoT Gateway, OPC UA Server and Industry PC.
