hexDEV Software Suite – Open Software Solutions for Your IoT Environment
We offer ready-made, open solutions for almost any challenge. This shortens your development time and saves costs.
Hardened Linux Operating System
The OE/Yocto-based operating system with a mainline Linux kernel (LTS) uses the current QT6 framework. It offers comprehensive functions that are similar to those of a device management (MDM) system:
- Remote configuration
- OTA updater (also delta updates for e.g. devices with LTE network)
- Device monitoring
- Redundant read-only partitions
- Encrypted (mTLS) connection to the cloud platform (device-specific certificate is already applied during production)
- Data management: Buffer measurement data and upload to the cloud platform
- Kiosk mode (closed end product)
- Developer mode (with tools, processes and an application server for faster development, testing and deployment)
- VNC access
Secure Development Environment (Zero Trust)
The system offers a secure and reliable development environment based on the zero-trust principle. It is extremely stable, crash-proof and tamper-proof and ensures reliable operation even in demanding environments. By using the QT WebEngine, web content can be displayed efficiently and securely in a kiosk mode.
Simple Implementation of Cyber Security Requirements
The increasing networking of machines and systems not only brings improved efficiency and new opportunities, but also significant risks. Our solution helps you to easily meet future cyber security requirements.
FleetWarden Device-Management – the Integrated Software Solution for Networking Your Devices
FleetWarden enables remote maintenance and control via a cloud platform, making it a reliable choice for the efficient management of your machine fleet.
Cloud on Premise
The local installation on a Box PC offers an ideal solution for companies that require maximum control over their IT infrastructure. This cloud-on-premise solution combines the advantages of cloud technology with the security and control of a local installation
Over-the-Air Updates
The platform supports over-the-air updates, allowing you to carry out software updates seamlessly and without interrupting operations. This ensures that your systems are always up-to-date and secure.
