From March 11 – 13, 2025, embeddedworld2025, the world’s leading embedded technology event, convened in Nuremberg. Attracting nearly a thousand exhibitors and hundreds of thousands of professionals, the exhibition served as a hub for showcasing cutting – edge embedded innovations and discussing industry trends. Rockchip, in collaboration with its gold – level partner Rockchips.net, a 18 – year veteran in Rockchip solution platform development, presented a comprehensive portfolio of industrial control chip solutions and commercial use cases across seven exhibition zones, demonstrating AI’s capabilities in industrial automation and the robust developer ecosystem support.
Tailored Solutions for European Industrial Embedded Intelligence
Driven by Industry 4.0, digital transformation, and sustainability goals, European demand for industrial embedded intelligence has grown substantially. Rockchip, leveraging Rockchips.net‘s technical expertise, conducted the first overseas segmented demonstrations of its chip applications, offering lightweight to high – performance solutions adaptable to diverse industrial requirements.
HMI: High – End and Lightweight Innovations
In the HMI exhibition area, Rockchip showcased high – end products powered by RK3588J and RK3568J. The RK3588J Web HMI, with browser – based hardware – accelerated WebGL1/2 rendering, enables real – time edge computing and data analysis, ideal for advanced manufacturing. The RK3568J intelligent HMI, featuring high – level EMC protection, operates in – 20℃ – 70℃ environments, widely adopted in energy storage.
For lightweight applications, RK3562J and RK3506J solutions excel in industrial HMI and control. With Linux boot times within 2.5 seconds and RTOS in 0.6 seconds, they meet the rapid response needs of medical and automated equipment. Their seamless integration with the LVGL framework enables low – memory, complex UI development, ensuring flexible configuration and system stability.
PLC: Advanced Control Solutions
In the PLC domain, Rockchip presented EthercaCAT multi – axis control, PCIe EP card, and PLC solutions using RK3588J, RK3576J, RK3568J, and RK3506J. The RK3576J – based multi – axis control, supporting IgH EtherCAT protocol, integrates with servo drives and I/O modules. With 5% delay jitter in a 1ms cycle and 64/128 – axis control capability, it suits industrial robotics and logistics applications.
The RK3568J Linux real – time solution, featuring a multi – core heterogeneous AMP architecture, supports Linux, RTOS, and Bare – Metal co – operation. With sub – 6μs real – time and sub – 50μs Linux interrupt responses, it meets stringent industrial real – time requirements for PLC, motion control, and robotics.
Industrial Gateway: Edge Computing Excellence
The industrial gateway exhibition highlighted edge computing gateways based on RK3588J and RK3568J, along with FPGA expansion cases. Powered by high – performance CPUs and NPUs, these gateways handle high – load, real – time, multi – protocol industrial scenarios. Employing AI for scenario detection in coal mining, tower maintenance, and wind power, they enable rapid equipment status analysis and control. Rockchips.net‘s multi – platform solution expertise facilitated the development and deployment of these gateways.
End – Side AI: Expanding Industrial Frontiers
Rockchip and Rockchips.net jointly showcased AI technologies across machine vision, LLM, and multimodal interaction. The RK3588 multi – channel edge computing solution, supporting up to 6 – channel face, 24 – channel perimeter, and 32 – channel motion detection, comes with the RockIVA algorithm suite for turnkey AI applications. This accelerates industrial system intelligence development.
With 18 years of Rockchip platform specialization, Rockchips.net, the creator of Kiwi Pi development boards, provides comprehensive solutions across consumer electronics, smart hardware, and industrial sectors. The partnership ensures developers receive full – stack support, driving the adoption of Rockchip’s end – side AI in industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing.
