Professional and Industrial Users of Raspberry Pi

e14phil

Hi all!

 

I would love to hear your thoughts on using the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ in Professional and Industrial Use Cases.

 

The New Raspberry Pi 3 B+ has been intentionally built to make it easier/less expensive to be signed off with simplified Radio Module Conformity and the new PoE hat on its way, allowing for headless operation, Power over Ethernet and, Boot over ether net.

 

Do you use your Raspberry Pi in an industrial use (IIoT)?

Have you built the Raspberry Pi into a product? Was it easy to do?

What are your thoughts on Raspberry Pi's efforts to reduce time and money making the RF area meet Modular certification?

If you have not? What is deterring you?

PoE Hat (Pre-order available now):

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus (B+) PoE (Power Over Ethernet) Hat

The official Power over Ethernet (PoE) add-on board for the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+! Use this HAT to power a Raspberry Pi via an Ethernet cable, removing the need for a separate power supply, an ideal solution for embedded and IoT projects. For Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ and onwards, an 802.3af compliant POE injector, switch, or router device is required (not included).

 

  • Power over Ethernet 802.3af compliant
  • Power over Ethernet Boot (PXE Boot)
  • Class 2 device
  • Fully isolate Switched-Mode Power Supply (SMPS)
  • 36-56V Input Voltage
  • 5V Output Voltage
  • Supplies up to 2.5A
  • Fan Control
  • Plug-and-play compatibility with Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+

 

Best of all, it fits within the official Raspberry Pi Case!

  • Hi ,

    I am currently working on a project that makes use to the RPi for a number of reasons. The device is to be used in Highway Automation and Control Solutions and there are more than once solutions planned for this.

    The idea is to have a board that can be programmed in C++ or even C# and since many other boards have pathetic support, the RPi was the obvious choice. We are currently employing it in a product on site and have a custom addon board that compliments the functionality. I cannot disclose a lot but I can say in most applications, wireless has not been required till date for us. PoE and Boot from ethernet is definitely a good feature and we have our own optical converter of sorts to allow for remote location connectivity.

     

    I image even with Industrial IoT, wireless connectivity would not be a feature a lot of my clients look for. The compute module is definitely the right way to go but the newer B+ may have an edge with the better thermal dissipation. I have had to use the RPi 1 in cases where the product was battery powered.

     

    Just my two cents worth.
