When working with IoT (internet of things) devices one of the key issues is to keep track of the health of all installations. Most of the time, especially with smaller devices, the applications (firmwares) are flashed for a single time during setup and stay untouched at their location of action for a long while.

From smart thermostats and grocery store checkouts to public utility infrastructures and industrial manufacturing lines, the Internet of Things (IoT) is all around us—and growing larger every day. But with this rapid growth comes a number of operational challenges: IoT devices collect a large amount of data, and are often distributed across harsh, ever-changing environments.

In a factory environment, collecting data to gain useful insights from various sources is challenging because it requires connecting to many different types of automation systems, plcs and devices that often speak different languages. This is the problem that German industrial software company, inray (specialized in data communication between software systems and components in Industry 4.0, IoT and IIoT) set out to solve for its customers.
