FOTA: Firmware Over the Air

Description

A Secúritas Direct security installation consists of a Central Unit (CU) that controls the rest of the devices:

Cameras
Motion detectors
Smoke sensors
Opening detectors
etc

All these devices have firmware that needs to be updated regularly.

With more than 1,000,000 installations Secúritas Direct needs an automatic system to handle all the various versions and updates

Value provided by Taniwa

Taniwa designed and developed the entire automatic firmware deployment system based on microservices and an application used by Securitas Direct to manage all existing devices and their firmware versions:

Firmware version inventory
Facility groups
Update Rules
Versioning database
Update control dashboard

Currently, the company has continued to grow significantly in the number of installations and devices and the scaling system developed fits perfectly.
