Looking for standalone board for industrial automation.

I am looking for a cheaper standalone board similar to RaspberryPi with higher capabilities. My application is based on a single camera and OAK-1 suitable for it. The only thing is that I don't want any other host system/board. I have checked the "system on module" category, they are for depthAI, however, I think I can use it for my single camera application as well but my doubt is, will it support OpenCV-C++/OpenCV-Python or we need to write the logic in Embedded C to use it as a standalone board? Is there any other board that is suitable for the standalone application?

Hello manvarjay,
the DepthAI SoM is actually where the VPU (MyriadX) is located, and that's the core part of every Luxonis' camera, so it's not an alternative to, say, RPI.
For a more performant single-board computer (as RPI), you can check Nvidia Jetson.
We do have 2 embedded standalone boards where you don't need to have it connected to the host machine.
We also have depthai boards with an integrated RPI compute module, so an alternative to using OAK-D + RPI separately.
Thanks, Erik
