aicas Edge Device Portal
Manage Multiple Edge Devices Through a Single, Cloud-Based Portal
/ TBD
Remotely Manage, Control, and Update Systems Anytime
Software and applications are constantly evolving. Edge devices must be maintained, updated, or added on the fly without disrupting operational readiness, critical processes, or security. Managing fleets of heterogeneous devices in multiple locations is highly complex and requires transparent administration.
/ TBD
Flexible Dynamic Software Deployment with Simplified Application Lifecycle Management
aicas Edge Device Portal reduces complexity and simplifies management of multiple edge devices via a single, user-friendly portal. This cloud-based solution provides unified access and secure management of heterogeneous embedded edge devices, including the software installed on them. Its configurable, role-based access saves time and enables secure and easy creation, deployment, and monitoring of high-quality software. Software deployment and application lifecycle management facilitate the safe replacement of components during system runtime, thus enabling highly dynamic and flexible systems.

Who benefits from EDP?
System Integrators
Benefit from easy integration of EDP into existing CI/CD pipelines and having an easy-to-use tool for deploying software to small embedded devices that integrates well with their existing ecosystem.
Embedded Developers
Benefit from the ability to easily test software during development by deploying software to simulated and real devices with just a few clicks. This saves time and improves the overall software quality.
QA Engineers
Benefit from an integrated test suite within EDP that automatically runs tests before software is ready to be deployed. This not only eliminates manual steps, but also ensures that a customized set of tests will always run on every piece of software that leaves EDP.

Benefits
A complete overview of remotely operated edge devices provides an elevated level of security and flexibility for the device itself and those operating it. Find out how you can benefit:
/ Control the Entire Lifecycle
Central Management of Remote Software
Control the runtime lifecycle by installing, running, stopping, and uninstalling components on the device. EDP facilitates lifecycle management of each software artefact, from development to operation on the target system. Three sequential phases separate development, testing, release, and deployment.
/ Everything at a Glance
Ongoing Overview of Device Status
Stay on top of things with a central, cloud-based portal. A live view shows you the general status of all remote edge devices and all their information, including installed software and configuration.
/ Highest Device Security
Best-in-Class Security for all Devices
EDP ensures maximum security by not only applying the latest measures to connectivity and storage, but also to the creation and execution of the software itself.
/ Flexible Applications
Scale up as the Business Expands
System requirements evolve and change over time. With EDP, you can easily and flexibly optimise your application for changing purposes and goals at any time. Your system grows with you into a bright future.
Reviewed and Approved by AWS
The aicas Edge Device Portal has been evaluated and approved by AWS and is now qualified software to run on AWS cloud services.
/ Customization
Tailor aicas EDP to Your Needs
Easily customize the Edge Device Portal through role-based access. Add any device to view versioning and device status, and securely replace software components as needed.
/ Use Case Example
COSMOS EU Project
WHAT
A major European Union research project is exploring ways to create and improve DevOps methodologies for cyber-physical systems.
HOW
aicas is part of the research project and provides EDP as DevOps platform for heterogenous fleets of devices.
VALUE
EDP is used in the project to integrate latest test automation and testing approaches from research, as well as to remotely control and alter the behavior of the devices used in an autonomous driving use case.

The Solution Within the aicas Ecosystem
EDP extends the aicas ecosystem with a device management platform. Among other technologies, EDP enables the deployment of software bundles on the modular software platform JamaicaAMS. The main advantages of using JamaicaAMS as a deployment target is the full portability of the software artifacts, which do not need to be adapted for another system. Thus, they can be developed independently from the system and distributed to many heterogeneous devices if needed. Secondly, this combination allows guarantees on the execution of the software components that provide robustness to the level of being able to control realtime applications. Taking full advantage of JamaicaVM, EDP complements the data management portal EDG to create highly dynamic, robust, and controllable solutions with impressive measures to make data effective.
