RS South Africa announced that it has been named Master Distributor for the Arduino UNO Q SBC platform across South Africa and the broader African region. This appointment follows RS’s recognition at the Arduino Partner Conference in Milan, where it received two prestigious awards: the Industrial Trailblazer Award, for driving adoption of Arduino Pro products in industrial markets, and the Global Gravity Award, Arduino’s highest honour, recognising RS as its top global distributor based on sales performance and market share.
This next-generation single-board computer features a ‘dual brain’ architecture, combining a Linux Debian-capable microprocessor with a real-time microcontroller, enabling seamless integration of high-performance computing with real-time control.
Powered by the Qualcomm Dragonwing QRB2210 processor running a full Linux environment, and paired with an STM32U585 microcontroller, the UNO Q is designed to support AI-powered vision and sound applications that can respond dynamically to their environment. These capabilities make it well-suited to a wide range of use cases, from advanced smart home systems to industrial automation and edge computing applications.
The UNO Q is hardware-ready, supporting UNO shields and new carrier solutions, while giving developers access to Arduino’s extensive libraries and global community. It comes pre-installed with Arduino App Lab, enabling development across real-time OS, Linux, Python, and AI workflows, and supports flexible coding through seamless integration of Arduino Sketches and Python scripts.
Collaboration is now critical RS South Africa
Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
The message emerging from RS Connect is clear: Organisations can no longer rely on internal optimisation alone to secure performance. Competitive advantage is increasingly being determined by the strength of external relationships, shared capability and coordinated action across value chains.
