Updating a deployed device fleet is more than sending a file. Teams need to know what version each approved device runs, select the intended recipients, limit initial exposure, and see whether the update really completed.
One release flow, from package to outcome
Why staged rollout matters
Not every update should land on every device at the same time. Percentage-based targeting lets a team begin with a controlled cohort, observe the reported outcome, and expand only when the release is behaving as expected.
This makes release decisions visible to the people accountable for fleet operations. It also avoids treating a device update as a one-time engineering handoff with no operational feedback loop.
Two Kbot OTA offers
OTA Engine is the connected-device release product. It is listed at $39/month for approved-device update operations, subject to integration and onboarding review.
Kbot Management OTA is a separate restaurant-operations offer, listed at $99/month. It covers daily inventory, sold-out item automation, kiosk and QR menu updates, waiter PDA, kitchen and cashier alerts, purchasing replenishment, and auto-pay triggers.
What teams should prepare before onboarding
- A list of devices and their stable serial identifiers.
- Current software or firmware versions and approved device types.
- A release package, its checksum, and the intended target cohort.
- The device-side process for downloading, validating, installing, and reporting the update outcome.
