ASUS IoT Introduces Arm-based Tinker Board 3 Single-Board Computer and Tinker System 3N for Diverse Vertical Applications

2024/09/18


TAIPEI, Taiwan, September 18, 2024 — ASUS IoT, the global AIoT solution provider, today announced Tinker System 3N, an Arm®-based fanless embedded computer with versatile applications for industrial use, and Tinker Board 3, a compact single-board computer (SBC) equipped with a quad-core Arm Cortex-A55 with comprehensive software-development kit (SDK) integration for versatile IoT and smart retail applications. Both ASUS IoT Tinker System 3N and Tinker Board 3 have been meticulously designed to cater to diverse vertical applications and industrial demands.

Tinker System 3N: Rugged design and customizable I/O, optimized for industrial use

The fanless Tinker System 3N, equipped with a quad-core Arm Cortex-A55 processor (Rockchip RK3568) and an Arm M-based Mali™-G52 GPU, is optimized for industrial use. It meets exacting US MIL STD 810H military-grade standards for shock and vibration resilience, and features a compact 0.79-liter size and an extruded aluminum chassis that ensures reliable operation within a wide temperature range – able to function in conditions ranging from -40 to 60°C).
Tinker System 3N also supports a wide 12V-24V input range and includes over-voltage, over-current, electrostatic discharge and reverse-current protection to prevent damage. Its expandable and customizable I/O interface allows swift adjustments to adapt to diverse requirements and configurations, making it ideal for smart factory operations, human-machine interface (HMI) applications and outdoor kiosk deployments. Tinker System 3N additionally benefits from a built-in neural-processing unit (NPU) designed for seamless AI integration and applications.

ASUS IoT Tinker Board 3: Advanced AI capabilities with built-in NPU

Also powered by a 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A55 processor (Rockchip RK3566) and an Arm-based Mali-G52 GPU, ASUS IoT Tinker Board 3 delivers enhanced graphics processing and robust data security. It is designed for seamless integration and features a versatile software suite for quick market deployment, with support for over-the-air (OTA) updates, advanced controls and SDKs to provide a complete solution for smart retail and healthcare applications.
In common with its stablemate, Tinker Board 3 also features an integrated NPU for AI tasks, empowering capabilities such as object detection, speech recognition and face recognition. This ensures Tinker Board 3 is ideal for diverse industrial needs, such as digital signage, self-service kiosks, medical devices, and more.

Integrated software and hardware solutions

Both Tinker System 3N and Tinker Board 3 and integrate advanced software and hardware features to deliver a comprehensive solution, including an SDK with GPIO API integration for simplified development, power scheduling for energy efficiency, USB device power management for durability, and regular OTA updates for optimal performance.
