Can Raspberry Pi Replace PLCs? A New Era of Industrial Control

How Single Board Computers Are Shaping the Future of Industrial Automation

Industrial automation is evolving. Traditionally dominated by rugged and reliable PLCs, the industry is now witnessing a shift with the rise of Raspberry Pi and other single-board computers (SBCs). These compact, affordable systems offer impressive flexibility, connectivity, and processing power—making them strong contenders in many modern industrial applications.

In this article, we explore how SBCs compare to PLCs in terms of performance, cost, integration, reliability, and use cases. While PLCs remain essential for critical and harsh environments, SBCs are proving ideal for edge computing, data acquisition, and IIoT integration.

Bottom Line: SBCs may not replace PLCs entirely—but they are rapidly becoming a valuable complement in hybrid automation strategies.

→ Learn how EcoTech Solutions helps manufacturers integrate SBCs alongside PLCs to modernize operations and reduce costs.
