The challenge

Engineering challenges

We build the monitoring gateway software, connectivity and OTA, and help reduce BOM and manufacturing cost.

Long outdoor lifetimes and harsh conditions

Electronics must survive heat, cold and moisture for many years on a roof or in the field.

Connectivity in remote installations

Plants are often far from good networks, yet monitoring data has to arrive reliably.

Secure updates for grid code changes

When grid rules change, devices in the field need safe, verified updates.

Cost pressure at high volumes

Tight market prices leave little room in the BOM and production cost.

Services

Services for this industry

Network switch and six yellow ethernet cable Network connect

Reliable device connectivity and the middleware that ties sensors, protocols and the cloud together.

Hands of contemporary engineer of industrial plant with tabl

Over-the-air updates that never brick a device: A/B partitions, signed images, rollback and staged rollouts.
