- Former tug The Baltic had a Raspberry Pi-based makeover in 2021 to become a fully automated pleasure craft
- Upgrading the IPMS to more powerful Compute Module 5-based Strato Pi Max XL units significantly improved its efficiency and failover support
- Sfera’s bespoke IPMS interface controls almost every aspect of the ship
- Sfera Labs’ take on IPMS (Integrated Platform Management System) provides detailed insights into the power being generated and distributed on board.
- The Baltic’s 2025 upgrade saw the Strato Max and Iono hardware that governs the propulsion, power generation, temperature, and automation updated to Raspberry Pi 5 and Compute Module 4
