SECO integrates generative AI with edge computing, enhancing industrial efficiency and security. Their hardware and Clea IoT stack enable real-time decisions, reducing costs and boosting innovation across sectors.
Generative AI is reshaping industrial operations, unlocking new levels of efficiency, adaptability, and innovation. By processing AI models directly at the edge—within the operational field—industries can achieve faster responses, reduce costs, and enhance data security. At SECO, we integrate advanced generative AI with robust edge computing technologies, delivering solutions that thrive even in the most demanding industrial environments.
Deploying AI models at the edge offers significant advantages over traditional cloud-based systems. With computations performed locally, latency is minimized, enabling real-time decision-making that is critical for dynamic operations. This approach also reduces reliance on cloud connectivity, resulting in lower costs and safeguarding sensitive data on-site.

System on Modules (SoMs) and Single-Board Computers (SBCs) are integral to enabling rapid prototyping and seamless integration into existing systems. These compact and versatile platforms provide the computational backbone for generative AI, ensuring flexibility and scalability during development.
SECO's Fanless Embedded Computers take this one step further by offering a ready-to-deploy solution, built from SECO's reliable SBCs. For industrial applications in extreme environments, SECO's Rugged Industrial PCs deliver unmatched durability, operating across wide temperature ranges and enduring harsh physical conditions.
The Clea IoT Software Stack: Powering Intelligence at the Edge
While SECO's hardware lays the groundwork for generative AI at the edge, the Clea IoT software stack elevates these systems into intelligent, fully integrated solutions. Clea is designed to remove the complexity of building smart products or integrating existing technologies, offering businesses an all-in-one shop to quickly deliver digital and added-value services to their clients.
Clea's modular architecture transforms industrial applications by supporting seamless computation of AI and machine learning algorithms both at the edge and in the cloud. Its ability to dynamically scale workloads vertically enhances resource efficiency, while horizontal scaling ensures performance even under increasing demand. This scalability allows businesses to meet the challenges of real-world environments with confidence, optimizing resources as computational requirements grow or fluctuate.
Generative AI in Action: Real-World Applications
Generative AI's potential to transform industries lies not only in its computational sophistication but also in its ability to directly impact operations through practical applications. By deploying generative AI at the edge, SECO's hardware and Clea's IoT stack bring intelligence closer to the source, enabling businesses to make data-driven decisions in real-time.
In industrial automation, SECO's solutions enable seamless integration of generative AI into production environments. Large Language Models (LLMs) can assist workers by analyzing IoT data from virtual twin devices to deliver actionable insights, whether for operational efficiency or troubleshooting. For example, AI-driven tools can guide maintenance teams by providing clear, step-by-step instructions based on sensor data, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.
The medical field also benefits greatly from edge AI powered by Clea. In hospitals and care facilities, AI-enabled systems can monitor patients in real-time, identifying events such as falls or abnormal patterns that may require immediate intervention. These capabilities enhance patient safety and enable healthcare providers to focus on critical tasks while relying on AI for routine monitoring and alerts.
SECO's integration of generative AI also enhances business services. By utilizing the scalability and modularity of Clea's IoT stack, companies can seamlessly embed predictive analytics, create customized machine learning applications, or integrate proprietary algorithms into their digital ecosystems. This flexibility allows businesses to tailor solutions to their specific needs, delivering added-value services to clients while maintaining a competitive edge.
Driving Innovation with Edge Generative AI
SECO's ecosystem for generative AI at the edge is opening new frontiers for industrial innovation. By leveraging high-performance hardware paired with the Clea IoT software stack, SECO enables the direct deployment of advanced AI models in the field. This approach transforms operations, allowing businesses to harness the power of generative AI without relying solely on cloud infrastructure.
Edge generative AI delivers significant benefits, including reduced latency, as computations occur close to the source of data. This proximity allows industries to make faster, more informed decisions, enhancing real-time operations in environments such as industrial automation, healthcare, and energy management. Furthermore, by processing data locally, edge solutions minimize reliance on cloud connectivity, reducing both costs and potential security risks.
