We understand the market and your challenges

Establishing a functioning and reliable data infrastructure

For companies, the upcoming challenge will be the creation of an interoperable network. The challenge is not the technical components, but rather the establishment of a secure data flow.

Therefore, embedded solutions should in no way be spared as a core element, but a partner should be chosen whose solutions fulfil the technical requirements for secure data transmission in a first-class manner.

Scalability and modularity with resistant hardware

The construction of a stable automation system implies certain requirements for the embedded solutions in terms of performance, robustness and stability during operation. Furthermore, systems should still fulfil the possibility of scalability.

The risk factor of cyber-attacks is an additional complicating factor. So why not choose a partner who has combined these risks and challenges into its hardware and IoT solutions?

Implementation of an application-oriented AI

Establishing an AI at a very late stage in one's own company can lead to considerable costs and competitive disadvantages. In addition, there will be a lack of experience in dealing with AI. Building a digital twin at a late stage can lead to incalculable risks.

The solution is an IoT/AI platform that focuses on entry into low-cost automation and grows with increasing complexity.

Development of an infrastructure for automation

Integrating technical components such as HMIs into an automation network is not a challenge. The real difficulty lies in enabling an infrastructure for the transmission of process data and status data without delays or interruptions. It's a good thing that SECO has been focusing on precisely this challenge for years and offers embedded solutions that enable reliable data transmission, performance and data analysis at the edge and in the cloud.

In addition, SECO is continuously developing new embedded solutions to enable reliable system availability, provide processing at the edge or in the cloud, and support the latest technology developments such as 5G

Robust embedded solutions for AI evaluation

SECO's portfolio of embedded solutions covers essential areas in functional safety, machine control through HMIs and high-end processing with the help Intel, ARM as well as mediatek processors.

Flexibility linked to changing requirements plays a central role at SECO. The modular vision HMIs, for example, are freely scalable in all areas - especially in terms of performance - thanks to the possibility of lightning-fast replacement of the SMARC module. Furthermore, the glass technology is designed to withstand breakage even under the most brutal conditions. In addition, the passive cooling module enables uninterrupted operation.

Establishing a digital twin using edge and cloud AI

The digital twin is more than just the digital image of a physical factory. The implementation allows the status of the physical plant to be called up, production processes to be monitored or schedules to be planned. The twin interacts continuously with the plant and makes independent improvements thanks to data analysis. SECO's modules as well as the fanless computers are specially designed for use cases, especially at the edge with high-end performance. As a cloud solution, Clea can take over the consolidation of all data.

Exploit the infinite potential of AI in production

The use of modules with FuSa (Functional Safety) functions opens up completely new possibilities for safety and collaborative work. In combination with AI, FuSa can be taken to a new level of human-machine interaction through pose estimation, gesture control or even voice control. SECO’s FuSa-capable module HALLEY was developed precisely for application scenarios of this kind: If irregularities arise in regular operation or a defined gesture is registered, HALLEY immediately switches to a secure operation or stops the process.
