Seeed Studio is a Raspberry Pi-approved reseller and device designer. In May 2024, Seeed released their first edge IoT Raspberry Pi-powered gateway and controller, reComputer R1000. It is Raspberry Pi CM4-powered, with AI capabilities when equipped with Hailo NPU. It comes with all the necessary features that a robust and reliable industrial edge IoT device needs, along with rich and versatile interfaces like three RS485 ports, dual Ethernet, and flexible IoT wireless communication (4G, LoRa, Wi-Fi/BLE, Zigbee) and essential functional modules (GPS, UPS, TPM2.0, PoE, SSD, etc.). With Modbus and BACnet supported, it’s a perfect fit for remote access control, especially BMS, BAS, and iBMS. You’ll find more technical details in our previous article about the reComputer R1025, and on Seeed Studio’s product page where you can also purchase the AIoT gateway.
As a powerful edge IoT controller and gateway with AI capabilities, it
- embraces the Raspberry Pi community, is flexible, affordable, and easy to use
- supports multiple wireless communication options
- has a small physical footprint
- meets industrial standards to operate in challenging, outdoor environments
reComputer R1000 Unlocks the Potential of AI at the Edge
With the release of the Raspberry Pi AI kit which bundles the Pi M.2 HAT+ with a Hailo AI acceleration module, you can connect the Hailo-8L AI accelerator to R1000 via the M.2 slot. It becomes a powerful AI edge gateway and controller.
For example, you can easily turn the reComputer R1000 into an intelligent gateway & controller with 13 TOPS of AI performance. With improved CPU utilization and reference speed, the reComputer R1000 can handle more challenging tasks for you at the edge.
One practical application is pose-based artificial light control with Node-Red, MQTT, the reComputer R1000, and the reTerminal DM 10-inch controller also powered by a Raspberry Pi CM4 module.
Another potential way to leverage the reComputer R1000 is to integrate it into an Intelligent Supermarket System. The reComputer R1000 serves as the system’s terminal controller and data processing center, controlling the supermarket’s lighting and ventilation system while monitoring the air quality in the supermarket environment. The whole system is integrated and controlled by reComputer R1000 edge IoT controller & gateway.
reComputer R1000 at IIoT: One-stop Software Toolset you can utilize to finish the whole IT-OT Convergence
The software toolset for reComputer R1000 spans five key areas: First Look Guide, Industrial Edge, Fleet Management, Cloud Solutions, and Computer Vision. It integrates with NodeRed, FUXA, FIN, N3uron, balena, Home Assistant, AWS IoT Core, and Ultralytics Computer Vision to enable seamless IT-OT convergence.
