As connectivity and flexibility requirements continue to drive performance demands in embedded edge computers and servers, industries are poised to take advantage. Factories and logistics firms are streamlining their production lines with greater precision using robotics. Hospitals are accelerating medical imaging appliances like ultrasound with AI capabilities.

Public sector and aerospace are also ramping up AI image recognition, event analysis, and security use cases to come up with exciting new efficiency models to improve quality of life in cities.

Performance is driving a new wave of creativity and innovation, and both computing modules and processors need to keep pace through enhanced flexibility.

Keeping workers and the environment safe is a key priority when designing automated equipment and processes. Functional Safety (FuSa), a technology to remove unacceptable risks in the presence of a fault, is critical to applications in the industrial automation, agricultural, transportation, and healthcare industries, among others.

As FuSa has gained importance, Smart Mobility ARChitecture (SMARC) modules — low-power, high-performance modules that provide power, DRAM, and compute — have become a standard for many IoT edge applications. Now, SECO has created a new solution that simplifies the adoption of the latest available FuSa technologies
by combining the power of SMARC modules with a feature set focused on FuSa applications.
