Production BOM — это decision framework, а не финальный order list. Точное устройство нужно выбирать после того, как Phase 2 даст measured count accuracy, FPS/W, bandwidth, thermal and maintenance data.

Production BOM priorities differ from lab BOM:

  • repeatable installation;
  • safe power design;
  • weatherproof serviceability;
  • supply-chain resilience;
  • remote diagnostics;
  • manufacturable assembly and QA.

Production BOM by subsystem

Required Storage Industrial microSD/eMMC/NVMe sized for logs and selected clips 1 €10-80 No large storage for telemetry-only SKU Use retention policy, not infinite storage.
Required Power regulation DC/DC regulators, fuse/protection, reverse-polarity protection, switch 1 set €10-60 PoE board, solar charger, protected battery pack Power design must match SKU.
Required Connectors M8/M12, sealed circular connectors or rated cable glands as needed €10-60 Custom harness with overmolded connectors Document pinouts before harness ordering.
Required Network Ethernet/PoE, WiFi, LTE gateway or local gateway link 1 €0-150 LoRa/ESP-NOW telemetry gateway for non-video modes Choose per SKU.
Required Watchdog and service Hardware watchdog, status LED/button, debug header/pogo pads 1 set €2-20 Managed power switch/remote relay Must recover without SSH where possible.
Required Labels and identity Device ID label, QR code, serial number, hardware revision label 1 set €1-5 Laser marking or durable labels Required for pairing and support.
Recommended Thermal solution Heatsink, heat spreader, fan only if necessary, thermal pad to enclosure 1 set €5-40 Passive metal enclosure Avoid fans in wet/dusty units unless service plan exists.
Recommended Power telemetry Fuel gauge, input voltage sense, battery temp for battery SKU 1 set €3-20 INA219/INA226, MAX17048/LC709203 Required for solar/battery SKU support.
Recommended Factory test fixture Camera target, labelled clip replay, network test, power measurement, seal checklist 1 set varies Automated jig with QR scan/cloud registration Production cannot rely on manual developer inspection.
Optional LTE modem/router LTE-M/NB-IoT for telemetry or LTE router for video 1 €30-180 One shared apiary gateway Cellular in every unit increases cost/power/data plans.
Optional Solar kit Panel, battery, charger, mount, cable, fuse, weather connector 1 €40-250 Larger shared power/gateway installation Only after measured Wh/day and winter target.
Optional Illumination IR or visible LED module with driver/diffuser 1 €5-50 No night vision by default Adds power and may disturb bees; validate before promise.
Optional Environmental sensors Temperature/humidity inside enclosure, ambient light 1 set €2-20 Use existing beehive sensor node data instead Useful diagnostics but not core entrance count value.

Compute candidate BOM notes

Candidate BOM impact Add-on parts Production concern
Jetson Orin Nano module/carrier Highest compute cost and power, best ML ecosystem. Carrier board, cooling, NVMe, WiFi/Ethernet, power supply. Use for dev/premium powered SKU unless energy data justifies it.
Raspberry Pi 5 + Hailo AI HAT+ Lower cost and likely better power for small detector. Hailo HAT, camera adapter, cooling, storage, power supply. Must prove model conversion, tracker CPU and thermal stability.
RK3588 board Potentially good media codec + NPU integration. Board-specific camera/network/storage accessories. Vendor support and software maintenance risks.
IP/smart camera + small controller Shifts video encode into camera. Camera SDK, controller, power, gateway/control integration. Need frame/metadata access for counting and Gratheon control.

Camera and optics BOM notes

Item Minimum production requirement Better alternative
Sensor Known model, stable Linux driver, documented exposure controls. Industrial board camera with long-term availability.
Shutter Rolling shutter acceptable only if count tests pass. Global shutter if fast bee motion creates systematic errors.
Lens Fixed/locked focus, known focal length and FOV. M12 lens family for different entrances.
Window Clear, UV-stable, cleanable, tilted/hooded. AR-coated acrylic/polycarbonate or glass with hydrophobic coating.
Bracket Repeatable angle/distance, corrosion-resistant fasteners. Custom entrance adapter with alignment marks.
Service Replaceable camera head/cable. Pre-assembled sealed camera-head module.

Power SKU BOM notes

SKU Power parts Network parts Video policy Notes
PoE powered PoE splitter/PD board, regulator, protection Ethernet gland/cable Live and selected clips allowed Best first customer-grade install if infrastructure exists.
Mains powered Outdoor adapter, low-voltage DC cable, fuse/switch WiFi/Ethernet Live and selected clips allowed Keep mains outside hobby enclosure.
Solar telemetry-first Battery, charger, panel, fuel gauge, low-power regulator LTE gateway or WiFi when available Telemetry default, rare low-res clips Requires aggressive sleep and measured Wh/day.
Research/dev Bench supply or large battery Lab WiFi/Ethernet Flexible recording Not customer default.

Connectorized subsystem BOM

Interface Pins Suggested production connector Signals Service reason
Camera head Depends on camera Sealed USB-C/USB-A bulkhead, MIPI internal harness or Ethernet gland Video/data/power Replace camera without rebuilding enclosure.
Power input 2-4 Keyed waterproof connector or gland DC +, DC -, optional sense Prevent reversed polarity and water ingress.
Ethernet/PoE 8 Outdoor RJ45 gland or pigtail Ethernet + PoE Reliable powered installation.
Antenna 1 SMA bulkhead or internal antenna location WiFi/LTE Do not hide RF behind metal enclosure.
Service/debug 4-10 Internal JST, pogo pads or protected header UART, USB, reset, boot, JTAG where needed Factory flashing and recovery.
Optional sensors 3-4 M8/M12 or sealed gland 3.3 V/5 V, GND, I2C/1-Wire Future enclosure/environment sensors.

Supplier and sourcing rules

  • Each critical component needs at least two approved sources or documented substitute.
  • Camera, lens and enclosure changes require sample-clip regression test.
  • Compute board changes require full model, thermal, power and video-session benchmark reruns.
  • Connector, gland and cable diameter must be selected together.
  • Battery chemistry and charger must be documented for safe shipping, charging and replacement.
  • Labels must survive outdoor UV, rain and beekeeper handling.

Production acceptance checklist

Test Purpose
Labelled video regression Confirms count accuracy after hardware/model changes.
Live-session lifecycle Confirms start, active, keepalive, timeout, stop and failure recovery.
Network outage and retry Confirms telemetry and clips are queued safely.
Disk-full simulation Confirms retention policy protects device.
Thermal soak Confirms enclosure does not throttle or crash.
Rain/condensation test Confirms optical path/electronics remain usable.
Cable pull and service test Confirms connectors/strain relief survive handling.
Power brownout test Confirms clean restart and useful reset telemetry.
Pairing test Confirms web-app setup without manual DB edits.

Exit criteria

  • Production BOM tied to chosen SKU, not generic wish list.
  • Cost, power and bandwidth documented for selected quality profiles.
  • Final parts include compute, camera, lens, enclosure, power, network, connectors, labels, packaging and QA fixture.
  • Support engineer can identify hardware revision, firmware/model version, camera profile, power state, network state and last error from Gratheon.
