SECO has introduced six new artificial intelligence applications designed to accelerate the deployment of AI across industrial and embedded environments. Covering areas such as smart vending, vision analytics, and acoustic monitoring, the latest additions further strengthen SECO’s edge AI ecosystem, helping companies bring intelligent capabilities into production faster and more efficiently.
The new application release includes:
- Object detection – Vending machine: An AI-powered object detection solution tailored for smart vending systems, enabling real-time recognition of products and interactions to optimise inventory.
- Emotion recognition: A deep learning–based emotion detection system that analyses facial expressions to provide adaptive user experiences, personalised engagement, and human–machine feedback in vending environments.
- Facial attribute detection with Qualcomm: An application leveraging Qualcomm AI hardware acceleration to identify facial attributes, offering efficient, privacy-preserving analytics for embedded edge systems.
- Background removal in industrial field: An advanced vision model for precise segmentation and background removal, enabling improved quality control, safety monitoring, and process automation.
- Audio classification – Industrial noise environments: A robust sound classification application that distinguishes between different types of industrial noise, supporting preventive maintenance, anomaly detection, and acoustic monitoring in complex environments.
- Inception – Training experience: A flexible training experience based on the Inception architecture, allowing users to experiment, retrain, and validate models in their preferred environment, and then deploy them on SECO hardware.
“Our goal is to make AI deployment at the edge as straightforward and reliable as possible,” says Fausto Di Segni, Head of IoT and AI at SECO. “By combining a growing portfolio of validated applications with the Clea Framework and the resources of our Developer Centre, we help companies accelerate their AI journey from concept to production, while ensuring full compatibility with existing ecosystems.”
All SECO applications are validated for deployment across platforms from Intel, Qualcomm, NXP, AMD, Rockchip, and MediaTek, supported by enterprise-grade long-term support for operational stability and seamless integration.
The new AI applications are now available on the SECO Application Hub, with technical details and documentation available through the SECO Developer Centre and the opportunity for a free trial of the Clea Framework.
