This blog compares the Unipi Patron and Neuron product lines to help users choose the right industrial controller for their application. Both are DIN-rail mountable units used for automation, monitoring, and remote control in industrial and smart home environments. The article highlights key similarities and differences in CPU, memory, communication interfaces, storage type, warranty, and available configurations (S, M, L). While both units support the same I/O and software stack (Mervis, EVOK, etc.), Patron offers a more industrial-oriented build with longer warranty and onboard eMMC storage, while Neuron gives flexibility through Raspberry Pi and higher RAM options. A set of recommendations is given depending on use case priorities.
