Success Stories
Lehner GmbH
How a sensor manufacturer got a full market-ready IoT solution in only 3 months
A visionary manufacturer from Baden-Württemberg introduced their groundbreaking plant data sensor to the market within a very limited time. Facing a tight project schedule, they turned to tempo2market team at hexDEV in September to develop a complete solution that enables their customers to install and use their sensor in a meaningful way.
hexDEV quickly assembled a team of experts to address the challenge. The first step involved setting up a reliable cloud infrastructure to facilitate seamless data flow from the sensors. We then selected a gateway hardware, adapted it for efficient data collection and used T2M software distribution to streamline data transfer to the cloud.
Meanwhile the team worked with a design agency to develop a user-friendly smartphone app for easy sensor installation and an online portal for centralized data administration. Additionally, hexDEV created an API for smooth communication between the collected data and the customer's AI system.
Despite the time constraints, the team navigated challenges to complete the project successfully by December of the same year. This collaborative effort showcases how the tempo2market software suite turned an idea into a reality for a visionary sensor manufacturer.
TCI GmbH
TCI's Transition from Android to T2M and secure cloud updates
TCI, a leading manufacturer of industrial displays, faced a recurring challenge with the limited support lifespan of Android OS versions for their products. Recognizing the need for a reliable alternative, TCI turned to hexDEV for assistance.
TCI required a partner capable of replacing Android OS with a solution that offered long-term maintenance and support, without compromising on security or functionality. HexDEV's Tempo2Market software suite, built on the Yocto framework, emerged as the ideal choice.
HexDEV seamlessly integrated TCI's hardware with the Yocto-based distribution, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance. Additionally, hexDEV provided access to Fleetwarden, the portal for efficient OTA (over-the-air) software updates, device provisioning and telemetry, which is part of Tempo2Market.
Recognizing the importance of security in industrial settings, Tempo2Market provided the full security infrastructure for TCI's devices, complete with secured credentials for cloud access.
Today hexDEV remains committed to TCI's success, providing regular security updates and tailoring features to meet customer-specific needs. TCI's partnership with hexDEV has proven a great success story, as hexDEV consistently delivers the technological solutions demanded by TCI's customers.
