Remote Management

A Scalable SaaS Solution for MDM and Fleet Control

Update Factory empowers you to effortlessly manage your entire Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, including Mobile Device Management (MDM) and fleet control. As a result, our Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform delivers OS and software updates, along with any other update artifact, to your devices at scale, ensuring optimal performance, security, and consistent configurations.

Leveraging over a decade of expertise in scalable platforms and embedded systems, Update Factory goes beyond just a an OTA solution. In fact, we offer a commitment to quality built on a deep understanding of update use cases.

Drawing on our comprehensive knowledge of the complexity of an IoT architecture, from embedded devices operating systems to enterprise SaaS, we’ve designed a cohesive and scalable platform capable to host high volumes deployments. This, in turn, provides a robust, reliable, and scalable device management system that excels in both development and production environments.

Ultimately, Update Factory is your competent partner for efficient and effective IoT device management, offering seamless MDM and fleet configuration control.

 

Streamline Device Management

Generally, the complexities of software updates and device management are deeply intertwined. In fact, Update Factory addresses this by enabling the acquisition of device specific data before update deployment. This allows for targeted software updates tailored to specific device groups within your ecosystem, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility.

Seamless Workflow:

First, Update Factory operates on a user-friendly, workflow-driven framework. Key processes involve:

  • Uploading update artifacts to a secure repository.
  • Assigning updates to appropriate devices or groups.
  • Coordinating and monitoring large-scale roll-out campaigns.
  • Generating detailed reports on the update progress, prioritizing security and reliability every step of the way.

OTA and MDM Integration:

Moreover, Update Factory seamlessly integrates with leading Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions, allowing you to leverage its functionalities for centralized Android devices configuration management:

  • Over-the-Air (OTA) updates: Deploy updates remotely through ensuring all devices receive the latest software and security patches without manual intervention.
  • Configuration management: Manage and enforce specific device configurations through MDM, streamlining settings across your entire fleet and guaranteeing consistent user experiences and device configuration alignement.

Beyond Updates: Single & Double Copy Support:

Update Factory goes beyond traditional update management by offering comprehensive support for both single-copy and double-copy update strategies:

  • Single-copy updates: Ideal for scenarios requiring rapid deployment. This approach minimizes storage space requirements on individual devices.
  • Double-copy updates: Enhance system redundancy and reliability. This method stores a backup copy of the update alongside the active version, enabling a quick rollback in case of unforeseen issues.

Tailored for Android and Beyond:

Update Factory excels in the Android ecosystem, offering a dedicated client with a powerful API for comprehensive device management. This includes managing operating system updates, applications, and device-specific configurations (Device Control Updates), all within a familiar, unified framework.

Cross-Platform:

Update Factory empowers you to push updates to embedded systems running Android, Linux, and more. This versatility is further enhanced by:

  • Open-source client options: Leverage pre-built clients for Android for easy integration.
  • Yocto meta layer: Simplify integration with Yocto Project-based developments.
  • Docker Containers deployment on Yocto embedded systems

Remotely Update Devices at Scale

Update Factory remotely updates your Android or Linux OS:

  • Track updates and their versioning
  • Custom device attributes
  • Update a single device, or to a small or large groups of devices
  • Deploy updates immediately or upon a schedule
  • Deploy full OS Updates or applications 
  • Deploy device settings configuration as Device Control Updates (DCU, Android)
  • Split updates into groups of devices and set thresholds (%) to either halt or continue, (minimize risk)
  • Monitor update progress and device statuses
  • Gradle plugin for Android Studio, for fast artifact upload

Embedded OS Updates must be Atomic

With a tightly built update procedure, devices can sustain abrupt power failures with a success-or-fail approach.

 

  • Single copy update system for embedded devices with low eMMC footprint
    • Recovery OS (single copy) to safely update kernel and user-space system, available for both Android and Linux
  • Double copy (A/B) on higher end devices with larger eMMC footprint
    • Secure and easy rollback option
  • Signed Updates for enhanced security
  • Possibility to update critical devices locally by USB removable media
