PRESS RELEASE

Würth Elektronik and Grinn cooperate in the field of edge AI solutions

Faster to market maturity for IoT edge computing

Waldenburg (Germany), Wrocław (Poland), March 11, 2026 – Würth Elektronik and embedded systems developer Grinn announce their collaboration at embedded world 2026. The first product of this collaboration, the Grinn GenioBoard - Edge AI SBC single-board computer, will be on display at booth 110 in hall 2. This board for edge AI in the IoT is now available from Würth Elektronik. With this offering, Würth Elektronik is positioning itself as a competent partner for product development in the field of edge AI. This includes matching products, design tools, and consulting on topics such as EMC, temperature management, sensors, wireless communication, power supply, and cyber security.

The Grinn GenioBoard - Edge AI SBC is a powerful starting point for developing local instances of artificial intelligence with a focus on computer vision. The following use cases illustrate the potential: remote monitoring and control with AI-supported person and/or object detection, computer vision for robotics applications in industry, and HMI with gesture recognition.

Powerful and energy-efficient

To support security-critical applications, the Grinn GenioBoard features Infineon’s OPTIGA™ Trust M SLS32AIA010M security module. As a CPU system-on-module with integrated NPU and GPU, the GenioSOM-700 uses the MediaTek MT8390 platform. The GenioBoard offers an M.2 M-Key slot for AI accelerators such as the DEEPX DX-M1 M and an M.2 E-Key slot for cellular, Wi-Fi, and wireless modules. Würth Elektronik will offer three dedicated M.2 modules for LTE, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, as well as matching antennas. Prototypes already available today provide a glimpse of these powerful solutions. In addition, a sensor board will be available for the 40-pin GPIO header, allowing pressure, acceleration, temperature, and humidity sensors to be evaluated quickly and easily.

Strong partnership

"Through our collaboration with Grinn, we are becoming an edge AI design enabler. Whether EMC, power supply, thermal management, wireless, sensors, or cybersecurity – we combine all key competencies under one roof and support our customers on the entire journey from idea to production-ready end product," explains Alexander Gerfer, CTO at the Würth Elektronik eiSos Group. "In Grinn, we have a strong partner that has been developing pioneering systems for 18 years, with a commitment to quality and service orientation that fits us."

"With our Genio Systems-on-Modules and the development board, which can be seen at the Würth Elektronik booth at embedded world, developers can typically reduce the time from concept to finished product by twelve months. The support provided by Würth Elektronik will make it even easier for companies to implement robust, durable IoT solutions with intelligent peripherals," says Robert Orteba, CEO at Grinn sp. z o.o. "We are delighted to have found a strong and highly renowned partner in Würth Elektronik."
