On August 28, IOTE 2026 — the 25th International IoT Exhibition, Shenzhen Station — came to a successful close.
During the three-day exhibition, EDATEC joined Raspberry Pi at the event, showcasing a range of products and solutions built around the Raspberry Pi ecosystem, with a focus on industrial computing, edge intelligence, smart manufacturing, and the Internet of Things.
Three Days On-Site, and the Buzz Never Faded
Throughout the exhibition, the joint EDATEC and Raspberry Pi booth continuously welcomed industry customers, engineers, partners, and media representatives.
Some visitors came with specific projects, looking for the right computing platform. Others engaged in technical discussions focused on industrial applications, while some were interested in how Raspberry Pi has evolved in the industrial sector in recent years. Different backgrounds and different needs, yet all pointing to the same trend: industrial computing is becoming more open, flexible, and intelligent.
Beyond the product showcases, the event also featured several media interviews.
A leading media outlet conducted an in-depth interview with Raspberry Pi Chief Commercial Officer Mike Buffham.
Guangdong Television interviewed EDATEC CEO Austin Su.
Huaqiu interviewed Raspberry Pi Brand Manager Brian O’Halloran.
Gongkong interviewed EDATEC R&D Director Calvin Deng.
A leading media outlet interviewed EDATEC Product Director Paul Niu.
In front of the cameras, discussions around Raspberry Pi’s industrial applications, edge computing, and industry development trends turned the exhibition into more than just a place to “see products”—it became an opportunity for face-to-face industry exchange.
When Raspberry Pi Enters the Industrial World
If people’s understanding of Raspberry Pi in the past was largely shaped by its developer, education, and maker ecosystems, today, Raspberry Pi is continuously expanding its boundaries.
Industrial automation, edge computing, smart terminals, AIoT, machine vision… An increasing number of real-world applications are extending the value of Raspberry Pi from a “development platform” to an “industrial computing platform.”
Behind this transformation lies more than just improvements in hardware performance. More importantly, Raspberry Pi has built a mature hardware and software ecosystem.
A wide range of industrial computers built around Raspberry Pi.
Industrial-grade HMIs in various sizes based on Raspberry Pi, running SCADA systems.
All-in-One Local AI Inference Demo: Built on Raspberry Pi 5 + Realtek Matrix NPU HAT, paired with a 15.6-inch industrial display, this offline solution can perform human detection, photo search, and meeting audio transcription with automatic extraction of action items.
32-axis synchronized motion control demo based on Raspberry Pi CM5 + CODESYS.
Industrial-grade smart cameras based on Raspberry Pi CM0/CM4/CM5.
For industrial equipment manufacturers, a mature software environment, extensive development resources, and modular product designs can help accelerate product development and iteration.
This is also one of the key reasons why Raspberry Pi has attracted increasing attention from the industrial sector since entering the industrial market.
Exhibition Highlight: New Raspberry Pi CM0 Solutions
At IOTE 2026, a range of new solutions based on the Raspberry Pi Compute Module Zero (CM0) made their debut, becoming one of the featured highlights that attracted significant attention at the event.
Compared with traditional development boards, compute modules can be integrated more flexibly into different device designs. The modular approach embodied by CM0 also aligns closely with the current demand for smaller, smarter industrial equipment.
But beyond the new product itself, what deserves more attention is the trend behind it: industrial equipment is calling for more flexible computing cores.
From CM0 to the Compute Module series, and to further product innovations targeting industrial applications, Raspberry Pi is continuously expanding the boundaries of its computing ecosystem.
EDATEC: Connecting the Ecosystem with Industry
The significance of this joint exhibition went beyond simply “bringing products to the show.”
As an official Raspberry Pi Design Partner and an Approved Reseller in Greater China, EDATEC has long been focused on product development and technological innovation for industrial applications based on Raspberry Pi.
From industrial computers and industrial HMIs to industrial gateways, PLC/PAC systems, and edge computing products, EDATEC continues to explore how to combine the open Raspberry Pi ecosystem with real-world industrial applications.
For industry customers, the true value lies not in a single piece of hardware, but in a complete solution spanning the computing core, system software, industrial interfaces, and real-world applications.
And this is precisely the core value that EDATEC and Raspberry Pi aimed to convey through their joint presence at the exhibition.
The Exhibition Comes to a Close, but the Next Chapter of Industrial Computing Is Just Beginning
Three days may be short. But from the crowds gathering around the booth, to in-depth technical discussions, and conversations in front of the cameras about the future of industrial computing, every detail highlighted one thing: industrial digitalization is entering a more open era.
Computing platforms are no longer merely “components” behind the scenes, but are becoming a key foundation for innovation in intelligent devices.
IOTE 2026 has come to a successful close.
Thank you to every customer, partner, engineer, and media representative who visited the joint EDATEC and Raspberry Pi booth. The journey to explore new possibilities in industrial computing never stops.
