Artista-IoT: Raspberry Pi CM3 TFT Display Kits for IoT and Industry 4.0

Artista - Intelligent Networking of Devices

FORTEC UK supplies Artista controller boards, each combining an ArtistaMEDIA baseboard with a Raspberry Pi Compute Module (CM3+ or CM4). The Artista-IoT (CM3/CM3+, LVDS displays up to Full HD) and Artista-M4 (CM4, V-by-One displays up to 4K) boards support almost all TFT displays and PCAP touch panels, operate from -20 to +80°C, and come with a Linux (Yocto) distribution, with Windows 10 ARM and industrial Android 7.x options. Long-term availability of at least 6 years makes them suited to industrial projects, and boards can be customised for your application.

The Artista controller boards with the latest Raspberry Pi Compute Modules CM3+ and CM4 are the perfect basis for cost-effective IIoT and Industry 4.0 applications such as:

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

The Artista controllers consist of an ArtistaMEDIA Baseboard and a Raspberry Pi Compute Module and can be easily adapted to the specific requirements of your application.

The important facts at a glance:

Almost all TFT displays and PCAP touchpanels directly supported
Top = -20 to +80°C
Special functions like DICOM pre-set, gamma correction, colour calibration possible
Artista-IoT starter kit available (Raspberry Pi OS)
Linux based distribution with open-source Yocto
Internal eMMC Flash saves the need of additional storage
WiFi/Bluetooth via dongle respectively via CM4
Real-time clock
USB, GPIO, I²C, UART
Auto-start at power on
WIN10 ARM, Scratch and Python running, option: industrial Android 7.x
Very good EMC behavior: EN standards according to industrial class
A Long-term availability: at least 6 years
Raspberry Pi ensures the broad support of a large developer community
Customised solutions can be implemented quickly on a project basis
Customisation and integration of Linux drivers: For example, the driver for Ilitek's I²C Touch Controller Chip ILI2511 is included in the next Raspberry PI OS
