Real-World IoT Use Cases and Customer Success Stories
Active Edge Solutions embed Linux for Edge AI, EV & gateway devices
Sep 25, 2025Posted by Lorna Dunn, Alex Lennon
Across the embedded and IoT industries, OEMs face mounting pressure to implement robust security measures ‐ yet building a hardened infrastructure in-house demands deep expertise and high costs.
Without reliable remote management, companies are forced into inefficient, manual interventions like field servicing or product recalls. As devices proliferate, the stakes rise: an unmanaged fleet represents not only operational complexity but also serious security and business continuity risks.

At-a-Glance
| Challenge | How FoundriesFactory™ helps |
|---|---|
| Scaling EV-charger installations is hampered by infrastructure complexity and the need to ensure availability, accessibility, and ease of use. | The platform offers an out-of-the-box workflow that accelerates mass production and lets teams focus on their differentiating features. |
| Security is non-negotiable from software development through manufacturing and for long-term over-the-air (OTA) management. | End-to-end security with signed artefacts and TUF-verified OTA updates protects devices for their full life-span. |
| Traceability and certification require auditable, immutable evidence of compliance. | Every build is reproducible, automatically generates an SBOM, and is logged for lifecycle governance. |
| Fleet-wide root-CA and device-certificate rotation is complex and costly to engineer. | Built-in tooling automates root-CA updates and periodic device-certificate rotations—no on-site intervention needed. |
