End-to-End Operations

ED401 will be integrated with EtherAIoT platform for device bootstrapping, discovery, and overall device management activities. Customer specific application can be developed as per end use-cases. EtherAIoT platform is integrated or backbone data provider for Ether Smart Factory (4.0/5.0). Machine twins, infra twins, data analytics and Insights will be generated.

  • Telemetry Data Management.

    Telemetry data is generated by sensors and instruments placed on various devices, machines, or systems. These sensors measure parameters like temperature, pressure, humidity, speed, location, or any other relevant information.

    These sensors can be embedded in everything from industrial machinery and vehicles to medical devices and environmental monitoring stations

    Data collection may happen in real-time or at regular intervals depending on the application.

  • Configuration/Control Over-The-Air (COTA)
  • Firmware Upgrades Over-The-Air (FOTA)

    OTA (Over-The-Air) configuration and control enable remote management and updates of devices, software, or settings without physical access. It enhances efficiency, security, customization, and user experience while reducing costs and downtime. OTA facilitates version control, rollback, compliance, and scalability, making it crucial for modern connected devices and software applications.
