FOTA Mass Operations

With our new feature update to the DataPortal, the FOTA update is even more accessible, efficient, and manageable. The FOTA Mass Operations Feature gives an easily accessible overview of the new firmware updates available for the different Proemion CANlink devices. It allows you to issue the update for all your machinery equipped with the respective hardware simultaneously – all from the comfort of your Proemion DataPortal. Moreover, an additional overview makes it easy to oversee the update status of each machine while the firmware update is running.  

Because of the cryptographic signature of our firmware, running an update is highly secure and foolproof. Our hardware device can check whether a firmware update comes from Proemion and only accepts it if it does. Moreover, it verifies that the update is correct for the respective models, so uploading the wrong firmware is impossible.  

The following step-by-step guide shows you how easy it is to update your machinery’s firmware and follow up on the update on the DataPortal.  

If there is a new firmware to update, click “Install update”. This will lead you to an overview of all your machines equipped with the respective hardware for which a firmware update is available. You can update all devices or select only a few. After you are done, click on “Continue”.    

We have also created a new overview to check the status of the FOTA update. After issuing the update, you can click “See firmware details for X number of machines” and see a list of all the machinery equipped with the hardware for which the update runs. Next to each machine, you can check the current status of the update. This lets you see whether the firmware update is still running or if the new firmware is already successfully installed. Furthermore, in case of an error during the update, which machine is affected is easily visible, so you can directly check the cause.
