Description
Remote software updates protect against counterfeit money
G+D Currency Technology has assigned RTSoft to code the agent for automated remote software updates and data exchange for BPS C2 banknote processing systems with central dashboards.
Key facts
- Develop a cross-platform data exchange and software update agent
- Programmed in C
- Utilizing a cross-platfrom framework
- Option to port device logic to different OS
- Slim data exchange between target application and communication agent
- Secure M2M application layer implementation for data exchange with clouds and servers
- Rule engine for dashboard feeds via that channel
- Local software update agent logic
- Future option to port transport layer to TCP/TLS
Solution
The data exchange now relies on secure M2M communication with private and public clouds as well as on-premise servers. The agent was designed on the basis of a cross-platform framework. Future updates to different operating systems are seamlessly possible. Today, G+D Currency Technology can update several hundred banknote processing systems extremely fast with only a few clicks at any available bandwidth. Another important aspect for G+D was the plug & play functionality of the RTSoft solution, which does not require any on-site configuration during commissioning for activating the 24/7 monitoring system and update channel. For local maintenance services, the agent also offers a side channels for updates via USB
Benefits
- Over the Air updates Complete, reliable and resilient A/B firmware update solution
- Azure AWS ready solution message/event/command bus streaming analytics, machine learning, predictive maintenance, visualization and monitoring
- Deterministic and robust algorithms for motor control and sensor hub
- Cloud integration and security efficient & secured visualization and management of firmware and applications
- Optimized power consumption and performance via utilization of hardware features of STM processor
