Raspberry Pi × Hailo Ultra Low Cost AI Image Recognition
Image recognition using edge AI, which does not require an Internet connection, is attracting increasing attention in the fields of manufacturing, logistics, and equipment monitoring.
PiLink proposes an image recognition system implemented with the next-generation NPU Hailo-8L, which is an excellent match for the Raspberry Pi.
Features
-
Low cost: Raspberry Pi based Less than 100,000 yen (minimum configuration)
-
High-performance edge processing: real-time recognition with Hailo-8L
-
Expandability: USB camera, IP camera
-
Cloud integration: LTE + Hailo Simultaneous implementation model also available
Example of use
- Hazardous area intrusion detection and safety monitoring
- Visual inspection and defective product detection
- Cloud connection via LTE → Data accumulation, analysis, and learning
- AGV/AMR obstacle avoidance assistance



By combining the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5) with the Hailo-8L NPU AI Accelerator, you can build a practical field-level image recognition system that can detect false entries into hazardous areas and shut down equipment, detect and count people and objects, etc. The Hailo-8L NPU can be used to build practical image recognition systems in the field.
