Clea is an AI as a Service (AIaaS) Platform and the optimisation of Clea on NXP hardware will enable the deployment of AI models for device manufacturers across industrial and IoT applications.
SECO is an NXP Gold Partner and an active participant in multiple early-access programs and this collaboration falls within the framework of the longstanding partnership spanning over 15 years. According to SECO it’s a significant step toward bringing the company’s software solutions to industrial and IoT applications.
This collaboration aims to simplify complexity for customers with a ready-made development environment for AI-powered devices across industrial and IoT applications and encompasses multiple technical initiatives.
Clea will natively support NXP’s MCX portfolio on Zephyr, an open-source, real-time operating system to provide NXP’s customers with a ready-to-use stack to implement industrial and IoT applications.
Additionally, i.MX portfolio users will have access to a native integration of Clea on NXP’s Yocto/Debian releases. SECO and NXP intend to roll out a series of reference implementations, documentation, and code samples to empower their respective users to get started with Clea on NXP hardware as quickly as possible.
With NXP's eIQ machine learning software development environment, Clea users will also gain access to a variety of pre-built applications over time, which will facilitate rapid access to Clea's IoT, field data and device management functionalities, as well as the enablement of advanced AI capabilities, enabling NXP users to more effectively manage and deploy their edge machine learning models at scale.
“Combining SECO’s Clea platform with our eIQ machine learning development environment, as well as delivering seamless support for our broad portfolio of MCX MCUs and i.MX applications processors will make it easier for NXP’s customers to bring products to market faster and more easily”, said Luca Bartolomeo, Senior Director, Industrial Business Development at NXP Semiconductors.
“Clea is perfectly positioned to become an Open Standard for data-intensive IoT applications. Being acknowledged for its value by one of the world’s leading technology players marks a strategic milestone and represents yet another substantial technical validation for our platform,” stated Massimo Mauri, CEO of SECO.
