Tecell’s platform automates firmware updates for remote chargers through a centralized, secure over-the-air (OTA) system. The platform detects available updates, schedules them during low-usage periods, and ensures successful installation with rollback capabilities if needed. This process minimizes downtime and maintains charger performance without manual intervention.
How Updates Are Deployed and Managed
The system uses a staged rollout approach, beginning with a small group of chargers to test compatibility and performance. Once validated, updates are gradually deployed across the entire fleet. Tecell’s platform also allows operators to pause or delay updates based on operational needs. This method reduces risk and ensures that any issues are identified and resolved before full deployment.
Operators can monitor update progress in real time through the ChargeSphere dashboard. The platform logs all update activities, including success or failure events, and sends alerts to administrators. This visibility helps maintain compliance and operational efficiency, especially for large deployments with hundreds of chargers.
What This Means for Fleet Operators
Fleet managers benefit from reduced maintenance overhead and consistent charger performance. The automated system eliminates the need for on-site visits to update firmware, which is especially valuable for geographically dispersed charging networks. Operators can also prioritize updates based on criticality, ensuring that safety or regulatory updates are applied first.
For operators managing multiple sites, Tecell’s platform supports bulk update scheduling. This feature allows for coordinated rollouts across different locations, aligning with operational windows or maintenance schedules. The system also supports version control, so operators can track which chargers are running which firmware versions at any given time.
