The ability to update connected devices is essential for security and new feature delivery. We ensure those updates never result in a bricked device or a manual site visit.
The Challenge: The Risk of the “Dead Device”
OTA updates are the most critical part of an IIoT stack. If they fail, your entire fleet can become paperweights. Common pitfalls include:
- Update Interruption: Power loss during an update can corrupt the file system.
- Network Unreliability: Slow or intermittent connections causing partial downloads.
- Rollback Failure: No safety net when a new kernel fails to boot correctly.
Our Solution: Atomic, Fail-Safe Updates
We implement production-grade OTA strategies that prioritize system reliability above all else.
- Dual-RootFS (A/B) Architecture: The current system stays safe while the update is written to a second partition.
- Automatic Rollbacks: If the new firmware fails to boot or pass health checks, the system instantly reverts to the last known good state.
- Industry Standard Tools: We specialize in implementing Mender, SWUpdate, and RAUC tailored to your hardware.
Our Proposal: Fleet-Wide Reliability
We build the bridge between your cloud and your hardware.
- Architecture Selection: We help you choose between Mender, SWUpdate, or RAUC based on your constraints.
- Implementation: We integrate the update client into your Yocto/Debian layers and bootloader.
- Security Integration: We set up cryptographic signing for update packages.
- Backend Integration: We help you connect your devices to a management server for controlled rollouts.
