Raspberry Pi Isn’t a Go-To for Commercial IoT. Could That Change?

When building out commercial and enterprise IoT networks, Raspberry Pi is usually out of consideration as a supporting single board computer. Its open source technologies make it great for hobbyists and small-scale deployments, but critics challenge its security capabilities. However, even though it gets said anecdotal heat, Raspberry Pi is still proving to be 44% of electronics engineers’ favorite SBC for IoT, according to research from Farnell.

Regardless, commercial IoT deployments continue at scale; the energy industry, for example, saw an accelerated adoption of IoT for oil & gas applications, according to research from Inmarsat. As this enterprise demand grows, will Raspberry Pi have any part in this growth? Can it meet scale and cybersecurity standards, and can it find use cases beyond small-scale projects like content distribution? Andrew Rindfleisch, software engineer & developer at Devetry, gave his thoughts.

The Cleaning Mistake Slowing Down Room Changeovers
December 22, 2025

Cleanroom changeovers often drag on not because of operator error, but because outdated or inefficient cleaning materials force teams into repetitive work that quietly erodes productivity. As manufacturers tighten contamination controls and uptime expectations, investing in higher-efficiency cleaning tools—and updating SOPs to match—has become a practical way to reclaim hundreds of lost hours each…

Annex 1 Cleaning
December 22, 2025

Annex 1 didn’t merely refine regulatory language—it fundamentally reshaped expectations around how cleanrooms are cleaned, emphasizing contamination control strategies, residue-free performance, and repeatable processes that work right the first time. As manufacturers adjust, tools and materials like advanced ultrafiber technologies are becoming essential because they support consistent first-pass cleaning without shedding or compromising sterility….

A Simple Fix For Tubing Chaos
December 22, 2025

In regulated cleanroom environments, small oversights like tubing dragging on the floor or taped makeshift supports can quietly undermine both contamination control and operator safety. As facilities push for higher throughput and stricter compliance, purpose-built solutions such as elevated tubing management systems are becoming less of a convenience and more of an operational standard. By…

Crafted Journey How To: Turning AI Ambition into a Real Data Strategy with Arvind Mozumdar
December 19, 2025

As AI adoption accelerates across industries, leaders are under growing pressure to “do something” with data—often before they’re sure what meaningful action looks like. Research shows that while a majority of executives believe AI will transform their business, far fewer feel confident in their organization’s data readiness or governance to support it responsibly. This gap…
