The partnership combines SECO’s experience with IoT technologies and Raspberry Pi’s computing solutions and will allow both companies to address the growing demands of industrial applications through more customised products.
SECO will leverage its hardware design expertise to bring a 10.1-inch Human-Machine Interface (HMI) solution to market, based on Raspberry Pi's fifth-generation Compute Module (CM5) and supporting Raspberry Pi OS to simplify integration. SECO and Raspberry Pi will collaborate on hardware development to offer customised solutions to better meet the specific needs of industrial clients.
In addition, SECO’s Clea IoT software suite will be integrated into the Raspberry Pi OS, making it available on RPI products portfolio.
This integration will leverage Raspberry Pi’s hardware and software offerings to provide a solution for device management, data orchestration, and AI/ML applications. In addition, Raspberry Pi Connect, a secure and user-friendly service enabling remote access to Raspberry Pi devices via a web browser using WebRTC technology, will be incorporated into SECO’s software stack. This will make Raspberry Pi Connect part of Clea’s commercial offering on Raspberry Pi devices, allowing users to access their device’s desktop from anywhere.
This integration helps to simplify management and interaction, particularly in industrial applications, and aligns with the focus on integrating Clea into the Raspberry Pi product portfolio and making RPI Connect available on the Clea store.
In addition, subject to SECO developing a Clea package, RPI has committed to incorporating Clea into RPI’s repository or a similar technical alternative.
According to both, the partnership will continue to explore opportunities in cutting-edge areas, including image recognition, edge AI, and the use of future Raspberry Pi microcontrollers to create innovative solutions.
“This partnership represents a great opportunity for SECO to leverage Raspberry Pi's widely adopted hardware technology and combine the strengths of both companies in software development," said Massimo Mauri, CEO of SECO.
Eben Upton CEO of Raspberry Pi said, “The IPO has opened up a number of partnering discussions with leading industrial OEMS and we are very pleased that one of our first agreements is with SECO. The combination of our combined hardware and software knowhow can deliver customised solutions for end clients that enable new user high performance applications at cost effective price points.”
