TL;DR: Robot Vision SLAM Navigation Board
SHENZHEN, China, September 10, 2026 - The WF-RK3568 board cleared the Longgang aging bench this week in lot 296, a 37,335-unit run for Sao Paulo, Brazil, and moved straight to the container yard.
AndroidSBC freight desk update on WF-Series custom board deliveries serving Sao Paulo, Brazil. What Brazil importers get from the WF-Series is platform breadth from one factory. Three Allwinner parts and four Rockchip parts sit under one part-number scheme, with two SOM modules for customers who design their own carrier. Wanlin builds all nine at Longgang in Shenzhen, and the export desk issues one certification pack per lot covering CE, FCC, UKCA, RoHS, and REACH.

About AndroidSBC and the Rockchip RK3568 Board Family
The WF-Series is a nine-board custom line from AndroidSBC, the export arm of Wanlin Manufacturing Group in Shenzhen. Three Allwinner platforms (A133, H618, T527) and four Rockchip platforms (RK3588, RK3568, RK3566, RK3288) sit under one part-number scheme, with two SOM modules for carrier-board projects. Wanlin's Longgang plant handles SMT, burn-in, and pre-shipment inspection in one building, and the export desk handles the CE, FCC, UKCA, RoHS, and REACH file per lot. For Brazil importers, the line covers the OTT box, commercial display, industrial control, edge AI, and POS categories that a Sao Paulo distributor is most often asked to quote.

All parameters in the table above are measured at 25C ambient. The AndroidSBC WF-RK3568 (Industrial Edge Computing Board) holds its display output and its decoder load at the same time through the burn-in loop, a combination that the legacy boards in the comparison column cannot sustain. For Brazil importers sourcing the WF-Series, the 4GB + 32GB (WF-RK3568-A) variant is the typical configuration for the industrial edge computing use case, with a sustained weekly capacity of 5,000 pcs/wk on the Longgang line.
Challenges in Sourcing Industrial Edge Computing Board for Brazil Buyers
Buyers in Sao Paulo who have run the industrial edge computing board category for a few years tend to stop shopping on price alone. The Rockchip RK3568 allocation is the real constraint, and it is the reason a 37,335-unit order can look cheap on paper and expensive in a slipped quarter. Then comes the firmware question. The hardware spec is straightforward to verify; whether the board holds a credential-locked stack through a 72-hour loop and a field OTA is a different test, and it is normally the Sao Paulo buyer's warehouse that discovers the answer.
Documentation is the third item on the list. A CE mark without a matching Declaration of Conformity and Technical File is not a marking problem, it is a customs problem, and it tends to surface after the goods are already on the water. AndroidSBC's approach is to close the gap at the factory gate. The certified stack is loaded on the Longgang line, the burn-in record is traceable per unit barcode, and the CE and FCC test reports are dated inside twelve months and shipped with the lot. The nine WF-Series boards span industrial edge computing, commercial display controller, industrial HMI, IoT gateway, smart display terminal, machine monitoring, access control, and building automation, with three memory configurations per model for Sao Paulo buyers who need a standard SKU rather than a custom build.
On the Brazil side, the destination file matters as much as the board specification. In Brazil ANATEL homologation is a precondition for customs release, and the homologation holder is normally a local legal entity separate from the overseas manufacturer. The export desk prepares the destination-market file covering ANATEL homologation with INMETRO safety conformity, administered by ANATEL, and releases it with the standard multi-market pack (CE, FCC, UKCA, RoHS, REACH). The lot is booked into Port of Santos on the Santos to Shanghai lane.
Competitive Comparison: WF-RK3568 vs Competing RK3568 Boards
The comparison set for the industrial edge computing board socket splits three ways: legacy SoC boards priced low and uncertified, Cortex-A55 boards that carry certification but cap decode early, and 64-bit boards with both. The WF-RK3568 sits in the third group, differentiated by Rockchip RK3568, by display stability under a continuous load, and by the factory-side certified image burn.
- vs RK3288 Cortex-A17 boards: the RK3568 Cortex-A55 2.0GHz lifts integer throughput by roughly 2x at lower idle power.
- vs RK3566 boards: the RK3568 adds dual Gigabit Ethernet plus CAN bus for gateway-class builds.
- vs RK3588 boards: the RK3568 keeps a materially lower BOM where 4K@60fps decode is sufficient.
- vs x86 fan-cooled IPC: the RK3568 fanless design removes the only moving part from the enclosure.
Global Industrial Edge Computing and Smart Display Market Trends
Order timing in Sao Paulo now tracks the Industrial Edge Computing and Smart Display curve rather than the calendar-year budget. Global Growth Insights sizes the Android TV Box segment at USD 12.45 billion for 2025 with a 30.49 percent CAGR through 2035 (Global Growth Insights, 2025-2035), the Android silicon baseline that Brazil buyers keep on the desk when they negotiate allocation. Three patterns are visible in the WF-Series book:
- Industrial edge computing: WF-RK3568 runs the edge workload on the 1 TOPS NPU with dual Gigabit uplinks.
- Display and signage refresh cycles: a longer content loop and a higher panel resolution now define the refresh trigger. The WF-RK3568 board carries that headroom without a board change.
- Industrial HMI: WF-RK3568 holds the wide-temperature envelope with the fanless design.
Analysts covering the Industrial Edge Computing and Smart Display space point to the same pattern in Brazil: order books are being built around platform breadth rather than a single part number.
Taken together, the three patterns explain why Brazil buyers are moving from single orders to twelve-month framework agreements with a monthly lot cadence, especially on retail and hospitality programmes that cannot absorb a supply gap.
Partner Success Story: Hanul Media Systems in Sao Paulo, Brazil
Hanul Media Systems, a broadcast systems integrator serving the Brazil market, deployed 6,300 units of the WF-RK3588 video wall controller board for a control room programme. The rollout covered the industrial edge computing, industrial hmi, and machine monitoring workloads, with AndroidSBC handling the burn-in, the certification scope, and the palletisation at the Wanlin Longgang plant.
- Deployed: 6,300 units of the WF-RK3588 video wall controller board for a control room programme

Field Report: SMT line No.3 at the Wanlin Longgang plant, with operators loading Rockchip RK3568-based WF-RK3568 boards for the 37,335-unit order bound for Sao Paulo
Reporter Li Jian, on the ground in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Wanlin Longgang SMT line No.3 put the lot through three AOI passes and an X-ray inspection on every BGA package before it reached the burn-in rack. The WF-RK3568 boards then cleared 48 hours of thermal cycling between -20C and 70C with the decoder loaded against a stress stream. Final yield came in at 99.06 percent.
The plant maintenance log showed no unscheduled stoppage on the Rockchip RK3568 line during the lot, which the production manager attributed to the AOI pass added last quarter.
The inspection confirmed three things on the spot: the WF-RK3568 units hold the burn-in with a yield above 99.06 percent, the loaded firmware image survives a 72-hour continuous loop without credential drift, and the pallets carry the matching certification file for the destination market, covering ANATEL homologation with INMETRO safety conformity administered by ANATEL, cleared for entry at Port of Santos on the Santos to Shanghai lane. Wanlin remains one of the few source factories currently shipping a nine-board Allwinner and Rockchip custom line with a per-lot paper trail that Brazil importers can hand straight to their customs broker.

- Building automation: WF-RK3568 runs 7x24 with hardware watchdog and scheduled restart.
Partnership Models for Sao Paulo Buyers
AndroidSBC opens the WF-Series to Brazil partners through three structures, and a single agreement can draw on more than one:
- OEM (your brand on our hardware): custom logo silk-print, custom packaging, custom boot animation, custom SKU label, and a private-label certification file.
- ODM (your spec on our reference design): schematic and stack-up review, carrier or motherboard redesign, custom firmware features, and a BSP port handled by the Longgang engineering desk.
- Distribution (your channel, our stock): regional distributor rights, channel rebate, stock holding at the factory, and a framework agreement with a monthly lot release.
Whichever tier a Brazil partner picks, the goods leave Longgang with one documentation pack covering CE, FCC, UKCA, RoHS, and REACH. The usual first order on the WF-RK3568 is the 4GB + 32GB (WF-RK3568-A) configuration at MOQ 5,000 units, four weeks for samples and six weeks for mass production.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the WF-Series support certified Android TV or Google Mobile Services?
Answer: Yes, on the platforms where that matters. The WF-H618 runs Android 12 (ATV 12) with Google Mobile Services and is ready for Android 14 (ATV 14). AndroidSBC burns the GMS, Widevine L1, and Dolby Audio stack at the Longgang plant on every production lot, so the board ships ready for Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max, Apple TV, and YouTube TV. The commercial and industrial boards in the line use the AOSP image with an optional GMS build for partners who need it.
What is the difference between the nine WF-Series models?
Answer: Nine boards, seven silicon platforms, two of them modules. WF-A133 and WF-H618 and WF-T527 are the Allwinner entries for commercial display, OTT TV, and industrial edge respectively. WF-RK3588, WF-RK3568, WF-RK3566, and WF-RK3288 are the Rockchip entries for 8K video wall, industrial edge, machine vision, and POS. WF-A133S and WF-RK3588S are board-to-board SOM modules sized for customers who want to design the carrier themselves. Each board carries three memory configurations.
Can AndroidSBC handle CE, FCC, UKCA, RoHS, and REACH paperwork for Brazil?
Answer: That is handled in-house. Each lot leaves Longgang with a Declaration of Conformity and a Technical File holding the CE, FCC Part 15, UKCA, RoHS 2.0, and REACH documents, all dated inside twelve months. For Brazil specifically, AndroidSBC will confirm at quotation stage which marks apply and whether a local variation is required, so the paperwork question is settled before production rather than at the port.
What are the MOQ and lead time for a first order?
Answer: The entry point is 5,000 units per shipment, four weeks for samples and six weeks for production. A twelve-month framework agreement released monthly will bring the per-lot MOQ down, and AndroidSBC will accept a mixed order that draws several WF-Series boards against a single contract.
Does AndroidSBC support custom Android ROM or custom Linux development?
Answer: Yes, under NDA. ODM partners get custom Android ROM work including proprietary services and a custom launcher, Linux builds based on Yocto, Debian, or Buildroot, and BSP ports for custom carrier boards. The SDK and BSP source are released to the partner under the NDA, and AndroidSBC's engineering desk handles the port rather than handing over an unmodified vendor drop.
What about software updates and long-term support?
Answer: Seven years minimum supply, with security patches maintained across the Android and Linux firmware lines. Partners who deploy at scale can use the AndroidSBC OTA infrastructure to update field units. For long-lifecycle programmes in POS, signage, or industrial control, the support term is written into the framework agreement at signature.
Can AndroidSBC ship to Amazon FBA warehouses or 3PL consolidation points?
Answer: Yes, including DDP into Amazon FBA in the US, EU, and Japan, plus 3PL consolidation points in Hong Kong, Singapore, Rotterdam, and Los Angeles. Cartons are labelled to FBA inbound spec and the declaration names Longgang as the origin. Partners who consolidate in Hong Kong usually take FOB Yantian and handle the last leg themselves.
How does AndroidSBC handle RMA or DOA replacements?
Answer: AndroidSBC targets a 0.3 percent DOA rate across the WF-Series, measured over the prior twelve months. On RMA, the partner returns the faulty WF-RK3568 unit to Longgang with its burn-in barcode, and a replacement ships within ten business days. Because the burn-in record is attached per unit, the failure analysis normally comes back with a root cause rather than a credit note.
