Description

Motivation:

The rapid proliferation of IoT devices in industrial applications demands robust and efficient maintenance strategies. Particularly, IoT devices integrated in critical machinery for condition monitoring require seamless and fail-safe Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware updates to ensure optimal performance, sufficient security, and minimal downtime as well as resource usage.

 

Goal & Methodology:

A novel dynamic OTA update strategy will be developed tailored for gear-integrating IoT hardware, focusing on minimizing update-related disruptions as well as power consumption while ensuring fail-safety. Hardware such as microcontrollers, Raspberry PI and communication modules are available for the development and validation of the proposed approach.

Requirements

• Hands-on embedded development experience using c/c++ mandatory (e.g. Arduino)
• Strong interest in (embedded) software development and best practices
• Familiarity with Python and communication protocols (e.g. BLE, ZigBee)
