The foundation has always been Raspberry Pi gateways, reliable, low-power, deployed across warehouse zones to aggregate environmental sensor data and route it into WarePro. That layer remains, and it works.
What is new is Nvidia Jetson.
With this release, PiEdge introduces Nvidia Jetson gateways, bringing real-time computer vision into the WarePro ecosystem for the first time. Item detection, access control, anomaly recognition on camera streams, all running at the edge, all feeding into the same WarePro platform that manages maintenance, inventory, and operations.
Raspberry Pi gateways have been part of PiEdge from the beginning. They aggregate readings from ESP32 and nRF52 sensor nodes deployed across the warehouse floor.
This layer is stable, proven, and cost-effective. It handles what environmental monitoring needs: always-on aggregation, local threshold logic, structured telemetry routed into WarePro via AWS IoT. It is the base on which PiEdge has been built.
The introduction of Nvidia Jetson into PiEdge brings a capability the platform did not have before: GPU-accelerated computer vision running locally at the warehouse edge.
A Jetson Orin gateway can run multiple simultaneous high-resolution camera streams and execute production-grade detection models without sending a single frame to the cloud. Detection happens in milliseconds. The output is structured events, not video, that flow directly into WarePro via AWS IoT, the same data path the RPi sensor layer has always used.
Item In and Item Out
Jetson gateways at dock doors, receiving bays, and dispatch points run object detection and counting pipelines via Nvidia's DeepStream SDK. Items moving in or out are detected, classified, and counted in real time. The event updates inventory records in WarePro and flags discrepancies immediately. No manual scan, no lag.
Unauthorized Access Detection
Restricted zones are monitored by Jetson gateways running person detection and zone-crossing inference. When an unauthorized entry is detected, the alert is generated at the edge within milliseconds and routed to WarePro with zone, timestamp, and full context, handled through the same incident workflow as any other operational event.
Intelligent Sensor Anomaly Detection
Jetson gateways also run inference on environmental sensor streams, detecting combinations of readings that rule-based thresholds miss. A temperature rising faster than expected alongside a humidity spike. A gas reading trending upward before the alarm level is reached. These pattern-detected events flow into WarePro the same way as sensor threshold alerts, triggering condition alerts and work orders in the maintenance pipeline.
PiEdge's Jetson integration is built on Nvidia Metropolis, Nvidia's end-to-end framework for vision AI at scale.
Metropolis provides the full pipeline: model training and optimization in the development environment, TensorRT optimization for Jetson inference, and DeepStream for running multiple camera streams simultaneously on a single gateway. Models trained in Metropolis are deployed to the Jetson fleet via PiEdge's existing OTA mechanism, the same mechanism that pushes firmware updates to RPi gateways. A model update reaches every Jetson in the fleet without an on-site visit.
PiEdge is not a separate system that integrates with WarePro. It is part of WarePro.
Every device, RPi sensor gateway or Jetson CV gateway, is discovered, provisioned, and monitored through the same PiEdge fleet management layer inside WarePro. Every event those devices produce, sensor anomaly, item movement, access alert, flows through AWS IoT Core into WarePro and is handled through the same operational workflows: condition alerts, work orders, inventory updates, incident records.
Zero-touch provisioning works the same way for both gateway types. A new Jetson powers on, publishes its identity to AWS IoT over MQTT, appears in the WarePro Waiting Room, is approved, receives its certificate and configuration, and goes Active. From that point it is part of the fleet, reporting, running inference, feeding WarePro.
Cold storage, packing, and environmental zones continue to run on RPi gateways, with sensor readings flowing into WarePro, anomalies surfacing as condition alerts and maintenance work orders, and compliance readings logged automatically.
Dock doors, restricted zones, and receiving areas now run on Jetson gateways, with item counts, access alerts, and vision-detected anomalies flowing into the same WarePro operational layer, handled by the same teams, through the same workflows.
One warehouse. One platform. The full picture, from the sensor on the shelf to the work order on the planner's dashboard.
The Nvidia Jetson integration into PiEdge is part of the upcoming WarePro release from PIPRA Solutions. If you want to see the full edge-to-operations stack in action, we would be glad to walk you through it.
