Easy monitoring, maintenance, and debugging of your IoT fleet

The Fleet Management Services is a range of software services that make it significantly easier for you to monitor, maintain, and debug Squid.link gateways and devices across your IoT solution from one central place.

This enables you to always stay on top of potential technical issues that could affect your system's performance as well as considerably reduce maintenance costs for your solution.

The Fleet Management Services give you access to all you need to maintain your IoT fleet more effectively.

An all-in-one service toolbox seamlessly integrated into any platform

The Fleet Management Services are delivered as micro services, running in a docker container to ensure a seamless integration to any platform.

The services ensure easy integration with existing fleet management systems or reduce the time spent designing your own system. They are delivered with a demo user interface, which can be used as a starting point for new implementations.

They are accessed through well-documented REST APIs. Part of the software is executed locally on the Squid.link gateways which reduces the costs for cloud storage.

Fleet management services

Main features included

The Fleet Management Services include the following main features that offer various benefits and possibilities for solution providers administering a network of IoT devices:

Software/firmware upgrade

Software/firmware upgrade

Easily update software in your devices over-the-air, simplifying and reducing your maintenance costs.

monitoring

Monitoring

Get real-time status of all IoT devices in your network, such as wireless connection quality and battery status, to know if anything needs maintenance.

Backup/Restore

Backup/Restore

Easily backup and restore gateway data and configurations in case you need to exchange or upgrade a gateway in the system.

Access rights

Access rights

Enable different access rights for different people across your IoT network to administer individual rights in sections, for support lines, geographical areas, etc.​

Provisioning

Provisioning

A fast and easy way to provision and manage your IoT gateway fleet to enable secure cloud connectivity.

Remote debug

Remote debug

Enables fast and secure access to debug data from connected gateways for remote debugging.

Software/firmware upgrade

The software upgrade service provides easy access to updating software in your IoT fleet which simplifies and reduces costs for maintenance. Software can be uploaded to one gateway, a group of gateways, or all gateways in the system.

The software upload services can update software in the entire network, covering:

  • Gateway system software
  • Gateway applications, templates etc.
  • Gateway modems
  • Zigbee devices connected to the gateway*
  • BLE devices connected to the gateway

*Provided the devices connected use a gateway supported OTA upgrade protocol (all Develco Products devices and many 3rd party devices).

Monitoring

The monitoring service provides the status of all IoT devices in the network.

Available information includes on- or offline status of a device, the gateway network type, the quality of wireless connection (HAN, LAN, and WAN), the battery status, the software version, if it is mains or battery powered, and the network topology.

Monitoring is available for the gateways and all devices connected via Zigbee, Bluetooth Low Energy, or Wireless M-Bus.

Backup/Restore

The backup/restore service makes it easy to exchange a gateway. The service is very useful in cases where an upgrade of the gateway is needed or in the unlikely event of a defective gateway.

The service is capable of backing up and restoring:

  • Gateway configuration
  • Gateway data
  • Zigbee network*
  • Bluetooth Low Energy network*
  • Wireless M-Bus network*
  • Selected Zigbee devices supporting the Trust Centre Swap Out process.

*Backup/restore may in some cases need device-specific re-activation if an automated process is not supported by the device.

In case of an upgrade from one Squid.link gateway to another, the gateway configuration is automatically re-formatted to the new gateway.

Control who has access to gateways in your IoT system

Access rights

The access rights service enables the differentiation of access rights on different levels of the system.

Examples of access rights are:

  • System owner: Full access to all gateways and devices
  • Section administrator: Full access to all gateways in their section
  • Supporter: Limited access to a group of gateways and its devices.

Individuals or groups can also be allowed certain rights, such as monitoring and read-only permissions, and disallowed others, such as activating backup/restore and firmware upgrades.

Easily manage access rights for your IoT solution

Delegation

With the delegation service, you can divide the gateways in your solution into subgroups (for instance, one for each of your customers) and assign different managers to these groups.

This enables you to give your customers access to their gateways within the Fleet Management system while keeping your other customers' solutions private.

As the manager of your main Fleet Management instance, you can delegate the gateways as required and retain control over your solution.

Divide gateway management in groups

Provisioning

The provisioning service provides an easy way to add gateways and users to your IoT fleet, ensuring secure cloud connectivity between gateways and the cloud. Gateways are provisioned in a secure way using production data that contains a unique certificate per gateway.

This can be done in segments or groups tailored to your business. This way, independent business segments can be organized in groups and securely kept apart with access only to their own IoT system.

Remote debug

Enables fast and secure access to debug data from connected gateways. Support managers can collect logs from gateways, change log settings, reboot, and shut down a system remotely.

For advanced debugging, onsite support managers can enable developers to have remote access (intended only for advanced developers).
