Tecell’s platform uses a staged, background update process that downloads and applies firmware changes in the background, even when chargers are offline. The system prioritizes critical updates and schedules non-urgent ones for when connectivity is restored. It ensures minimal disruption to charging operations and maintains compliance with evolving standards.
How Updates Are Scheduled and Deployed
Updates are queued based on priority levels defined by the operator or system defaults. The platform automatically detects when a charger reconnects to the network and initiates the update process. This approach avoids manual intervention and reduces the risk of missed updates due to operator oversight.
For remote installations, Tecell’s system can pre-cache firmware versions on-site. This means that even if a charger is offline for an extended period, it can still receive updates as soon as it reconnects. The system also supports rolling updates across fleets, ensuring consistent deployment without downtime.
What This Means for Fleet Operators
Fleet managers benefit from centralized control over all chargers, regardless of their physical location. They can monitor update status in real time and roll back changes if needed. This capability is especially valuable for large-scale deployments where manual checks are impractical.
Operators can also set policies for when updates occur, such as during off-peak hours or only after a certain battery level is reached. These granular controls help maintain service availability while ensuring all devices stay current with security patches and feature enhancements.
