Update Manager
Enabling and managing complex software updates
Keep your devices, machines and vehicles up to date
Software is becoming a central component in devices, machines and vehicles across all industries. Many functionalities now require a combination of hardware and software. Software updates provided after delivery of the hardware components are becoming increasingly important in this context, since they offer the opportunity to rectify software development errors, improve the quality of existing functions and integrate new features.
The doubleSlash Update Manager is a user-friendly software solution that enables simple, efficient organisation of software updates, even for complex device groups.
