A Compute Module is a compact, stripped-down version of a single-board computer, such as the Raspberry Pi, designed for integration into custom hardware systems. Unlike standard boards, Compute Modules are intended for industrial or embedded applications, providing core computing power, memory, and storage in a small form factor. They can be easily slotted into specialized carrier boards, allowing manufacturers to create tailored devices with reliable computing capabilities. This modular approach streamlines product development and enables flexible, scalable solutions for a wide range of industries.
