These Arduino PRO industrial kits have been crafted to cater to the needs of professionals and enthusiasts, and offer a range of tools, including advanced microcontrollers, sensors, and actuators to help with designing and implementing complex electronic systems.

Focusing on performance, reliability, and scalability, Arduino's pro application kits are intended for engineers, researchers, and professionals working across industrial automation, IoT (Internet of Things), robotics, and prototyping. These kits, with their robust hardware and user-friendly development environment, are intended to support developers aiming to drive innovation in their projects.

The Arduino zero-touch programming experience simplifies deployment and the remote management of projects. Over-the-air firmware updates and a secure on-board element ensure applications remain both up-to-date and secure.

The new Arduino Pro Kits include:        

•            Arduino Pro Industrial Automation and Lighting Kit

•            Arduino Smart Industry OEM Condition Monitorin4g Kit – a simplified kit suitable for projects needing temperature measurements. It exploits the Portenta Machine Control’s capabilities with three temperature inputs for Thermocouples J/K and RTD PT100.

•            Arduino Pro Edge AI/ML Vision and Speech Kit – a selection designed to help developers build intelligent projects with computer vision, image, and speech recognition. It leverages easy-to-use edge AI tools, all controllable remotely via Arduino Cloud using beginner-friendly Arduino C++ programming.

•            Smart Industry Predictive Maintenance Kit – this kit enables beginners to implement automation systems capable of recognizing voice commands and sensing environmental data to trigger processes. 

•            Pro Smart Industry Prototyping Kit – a hands-on kit which offers learners a unique opportunity to experience the world of industrial automation through a direct approach. It provides a platform to gain practical experience with industry-standard technologies such as Linux OS, LoRa connectivity, and communication protocols used in factories and plants. 

All of the new Arduino Pro kits include advanced microcontrollers, sensors, actuators and other components, to empower the user to design and implement intricate electronic systems with precision and efficiency.
