SECO Launches Application Hub to Accelerate Edge AI Deployment Across Industries
SECO, a global leader in edge computing and artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, has officially launched the SECO Application Hub—a new app marketplace built to streamline and accelerate the deployment of AI and machine learning (ML) applications on edge devices. This initiative marks a significant milestone in the company’s mission to simplify AI adoption and help businesses unlock the full potential of edge computing.
At launch, the SECO Application Hub features more than 150 ready-to-deploy AI and ML applications. These include powerful solutions in computer vision, natural language processing, audio analytics, predictive maintenance, and other data-driven use cases. The applications span multiple industries, from industrial automation and smart mobility to retail and healthcare, allowing organizations to enhance productivity, operational efficiency, and user experience through AI.
Solving Key Barriers in Edge AI Deployment
Deploying AI at the edge has traditionally been a complex and resource-intensive process. Companies must manage a fragmented ecosystem of hardware vendors, software stacks, and integration challenges—all of which slow down innovation and drive up costs. The SECO Application Hub addresses these issues head-on by offering a centralized platform that enables rapid prototyping, validation, and deployment of AI models across heterogeneous hardware environments.
“Innovation with AI is something our customers are very excited about, and many already use our high-performance, AI-capable hardware,” said Fausto Di Segni, Head of IoT and AI at SECO. “The real bottleneck has been translating that hardware investment into deployed, value-generating intelligence. The SECO Application Hub bridges that gap by making it dramatically easier to move from hardware to AI-powered solutions.”
A Developer-Friendly Platform with Full Flexibility
The Application Hub is designed to support a broad user base—from industrial OEMs and system integrators to developers, data scientists, and AI startups. It provides an intuitive interface where users can search, optimize, validate, and deploy AI models in a matter of minutes. Importantly, the platform supports a wide range of chipsets and hardware architectures, including those from Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NXP, Rockchip, and MediaTek.
This vendor-agnostic approach means that businesses are not locked into any specific ecosystem. They can choose the best hardware for their use case, while still benefiting from SECO’s comprehensive long-term support, which ensures stability and maintainability across the product lifecycle.
To further enhance the developer experience, the Hub includes a robust AI toolkit. This includes a curated selection of software containers, reference applications, documentation, and deployment guides. Whether a team is developing from scratch or integrating existing AI capabilities into their products, the tools available in the Hub significantly reduce development time and complexity.
A Marketplace for Monetization and Collaboration
Beyond simplifying deployment, the SECO Application Hub also introduces a marketplace model that encourages community contribution and revenue generation. Developers and technology partners can publish their own AI models and algorithms directly to the Hub and monetize them through a transparent revenue-sharing framework. This approach transforms the Hub into a living ecosystem, continuously expanding with new use cases, innovations, and contributors.
Strategic Integrations and Ecosystem Growth
The Application Hub is designed to integrate seamlessly with Clea, SECO’s smart product framework that enables real-time device management, data orchestration, and application deployment across the edge-to-cloud continuum. This integration enables powerful use cases, such as:
- Predictive maintenance in manufacturing to minimize unplanned downtime
- Medical imaging analysis for faster and more accurate diagnostics
- Retail optimization through advanced customer behavior analytics
- Smart city services like real-time energy monitoring and traffic control
The launch follows SECO’s recent collaborations with key technology players such as Nayax (for smart payment solutions), Exein (for embedded cybersecurity), and silicon partners like Axelera AI and NXP (for hardware acceleration). These partnerships ensure that SECO’s Application Hub is not just a standalone tool, but part of a broader, fully integrated edge AI ecosystem.
A New Chapter in Edge AI Innovation
With the SECO Application Hub, the company strengthens its position as a full-stack provider in the edge AI space. From hardware and software to AI models and marketplace tools, SECO is equipping businesses with everything they need to move faster, reduce costs, and deliver intelligent services at the edge.
By removing traditional barriers and enabling a plug-and-play approach to AI, SECO is helping enterprises of all sizes turn the edge into a powerful engine for innovation.
