Summary

TAIPEI, Taiwan, September 18, 2024ASUS IoT, a global leader in AIoT solutions, has unveiled two cutting-edge products: the Tinker System 3N, a fanless embedded computer designed for industrial use, and the Tinker Board 3, a single-board computer (SBC) tailored for diverse IoT and smart retail applications. Both devices are built on the Arm® architecture and come equipped with advanced features to meet the demanding needs of modern industries.

The Tinker System 3N is powered by a quad-core Arm Cortex-A55 processor (Rockchip RK3568) and an Arm Mali™-G52 GPU. Designed with resilience in mind, it meets US MIL-STD-810H military standards for shock and vibration resistance. The fanless design, compact 0.79-liter size, and extruded aluminum chassis enable it to perform reliably in harsh environments, with a wide operational temperature range from -40°C to 60°C.

With a flexible 12V-24V input range, the Tinker System 3N is well-suited for industrial applications, including smart factories, human-machine interfaces (HMI), and outdoor kiosks. Its customizable I/O interface allows for swift configuration adjustments, and the built-in neural processing unit (NPU) enables seamless AI integration, making it perfect for advanced AI-driven tasks.

The Tinker Board 3 is also based on a 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A55 processor (Rockchip RK3566) and an Arm Mali-G52 GPU, offering enhanced graphics and robust security. It features a built-in NPU that supports AI functionalities such as object detection, speech recognition, and facial recognition. This makes the Tinker Board 3 ideal for various applications, from smart retail and digital signage to medical devices and self-service kiosks.

To accelerate deployment, Tinker Board 3 provides a versatile software suite that includes an SDK with GPIO API integration, over-the-air (OTA) updates, and advanced power management capabilities.

Both devices are designed with integrated software and hardware features to ensure optimal performance. The included SDK simplifies development, while GPIO API integration, power scheduling, USB device management, and OTA updates ensure that these products can be seamlessly implemented into various industrial and commercial environments.
