An industrial partnership to increase the scale of data analyzable by CLEA in Smart Cities and Infrastructures applications
Libelium and SECO, the company listed on the Milan stock exchange, have signed an agreement to combine the respective technologies, product portfolios, and R&D capabilities to target the business opportunities offered by the digitalization of devices, with particular reference to the Smart Cities and Infrastructures space.
“Our planet demands us urgency in fighting climate change and we are convinced that IoT and AI are powerful tools for that endeavor. However, the complexity and fragmentation in the market make solution design challenging. At Libelium we strongly believe in ecosystems and offer complete solutions. Our alliance with SECO is a perfect example of joining forces for good”, said Alicia Asín, CEO of Libelium.
“Nowadays, environmental changes are forcing companies to design new ways to improve our cities’ quality of life, while optimizing the use of natural resources. For us, integrating sensors into our offering means adding an additional layer to our value proposition, further reducing complexity for our customers and providing them with a cost-efficient and scalable solution, able to connect to the surrounding environment and return insightful data thanks to CLEA”, said Massimo Mauri, CEO of SECO.
Building a sensor network allows an end-to-end solution to enlarge scalability. In fact, on-field sensors enable to convey of a large amount of data from different locations to more complex edge computing devices that can be managed remotely, thus optimizing the installation and maintenance costs for the customer.
The partnership allows SECO to add a number of high value-added tools to its offering, aimed at providing the customer with a complete solution ranging from on-field data extraction to its real-time processing based on CLEA’s artificial intelligence algorithms. At the same time, Libelium will contribute with its solid know-how in data collection and monitoring, which can be spread by leveraging SECO’s existing and new customer base.
In this context, Libelium’s Plug & Sense! family is designed to ensure an interoperable and low-power consumption toolset able to connect several sensors to a single device and transfer data to a cloud space where they can be stored and analyzed by an IoT-AI algorithm. These sensor-based solutions can find application in a number of use cases including, among others, air and water quality measurement, contaminants detection, irrigation control, parking spaces management, and infrastructure monitoring.
The two companies will work together to address business opportunities that require the use of sensors and integrate SECO’s portfolio by introducing Libelium products while ensuring their compatibility with CLEA.
One of the closest collaborations will be a space dedicated to Libelium at the SECO stand at Embedded World (Nuremberg, March 14 – 16, 2023).
