SECO S.p.A. (IOT.MI), an Italian high-tech company, has announced a strategic partnership with Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) Technologies International, Ltd. on Thursday. This collaboration aims to accelerate the development of new edge computing products for the Industrial IoT world, primarily designed for OEM customers.
The partnership will see SECO designated as a Qualcomm Technologies' IIoT design center partner. In this capacity, SECO will develop reference designs for off-the-shelf hardware solutions. The focus of this collaboration is the creation of a system-on-module (SOM) and a modular single-board computer (SBC), both of which will be included in SECO's standard edge computing solutions catalogue.
Qualcomm Technologies will provide support to SECO in the development of these products to expedite their time to market. This support includes technical assistance to facilitate the integration of Qualcomm components into SECO's new products.
Moreover, the partnership will enable custom designs for customers adopting Qualcomm Technologies chipsets, aiming to meet specific needs of companies in their respective vertical sectors. This design flexibility offers added value for companies looking to optimize their devices' performance through the implementation of IIoT applications.
SECO also plans to assist users of these solutions in connecting quickly to CLEA – its internally developed IoT platform. This platform enables functionalities such as machine learning and artificial intelligence applications in machines built for end users.
