AIHub-Z3 Edge Computing Box
A compact RK3566 edge box with ARM G52 GPU, 1TOPS NPU, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and ZigBee expansion for smart buildings, stores, restaurants, energy management, and lightweight edge intelligence.
A local gateway and edge intelligence node for lightweight AIoT sites
AIHub-Z3 connects sensors, controllers, cameras, thermostats, and smart terminals, then runs local rules, light AI decisions, cache, and platform synchronization. It is best when many small sites need repeatable installation and remote maintenance.
- Smart buildings
- Store automation
- Energy management
- Lightweight security and sensing
Z3 fits lightweight, distributed, always-on AIoT field nodes
AIHub-Z3 emphasizes small size, low power, and multi-protocol access. It can run local rules, edge cache, lightweight AI, and platform synchronization without placing a high-performance server at every site.
- Fits equipment cabinets, stores, and compact field locations
- Supports local rules, edge cache, and light inference
- Pairs with serial terminals, thermostats, and sensors
What this product looks like in a real workflow
Small field edge gateway
Z3 acts as the local aggregation point for communication, rules, caching, and cloud sync.
Interface and installation fit
Deployment is designed around field points, power, network, and maintenance cost.
Product capabilities that matter in deployment
Each capability is designed around real operating conditions, not isolated hardware parameters.
RK3566 low-power platform
Balances gateway tasks, basic compute, and continuous operation.
1TOPS local AI
Supports lightweight vision, tracking, and event analysis.
Multi-protocol access
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and ZigBee expansion connect mixed field devices.
Remote maintenance
Applications and configuration can be maintained for batch field operations.
Z3 is a lightweight edge node, not a high-compute server
It is designed for repeatable deployment at many sites, so the page focuses on size, power, rules, connectivity, and operations.
- Confirm protocols and gateway coverage
- Design local rules, cache, and remote updates
- Prepare batch configuration and acceptance checklist
