As the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) becomes more widespread and powerful, RK3568-based edge computing gateways have emerged. Edge computing effectively reduces the load on cloud servers, significantly decreases bandwidth usage, and also provides convenient conditions for localized regional autonomy.

Edge computing industrial gateways perfectly leverage the combined advantages of "edge" and "endpoint." Through 4G/5G communication and the internet, they integrate AI, Industrial IoT, and edge computing to achieve features such as cloud-edge collaboration, edge-endpoint linkage, compute power offloading, and regional autonomy. They can be widely applied in fields such as Industrial IoT, smart transportation, power IoT, environmental protection and fire safety, and smart agriculture.
