The terms Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 stand for the growing trend to equip products with their own intelligence to take some of the weight off the user's shoulders.

The ArtistaMEDIA-III baseboard with the latest Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3+ (CM3+) is the perfect basis for cost-effective IoT and Industry 4.0 applications, offering:

• A powerful BCM2837 QuadCore processor with 1.2 GHz
• A 1920x1200 scaler chip with full OSD menu range,
• Scaling, split wall (just as PrismaMEDIA-eco) and
  a real-time clock

Almost all popular TFT displays as well as PCAP touch screens with either I²C or USB interface can be directly connected and enable a wide range of solutions for a variety of applications:

• SmartGrid (monitoring and control of vending machines)
• Gateway to Middleware
• Facility management (Data acquisition and monitoring of e.g. temperature, sensors, access control etc.)
