Stay Updated!

It may seem tempting to delay or even skip a software / firmware update but failing to do so means you’ll miss out on improved functionalities and it could leave you open to potential security risks.

The latest updates are typically used during the testing or commissioning phase of a new project but the importance of this update is too often underestimated or ignored for existing projects.

Why it’s important to update your software & firmware

Keep your machine as efficient as possible

Technology is evolving faster than ever!

Staying updated and aligned with the evolving technologies is no longer an option to ensure security, stability and good performance: it has become a requirement.

HMS is constantly enhancing their solutions to ensure performance gains and improve compatibility with different devices and applications but also to bring new features into your Ewon gateways.

These new features can also bring new business opportunities as complex tasks previously considered as impossible could now be eased by the Ewon gateway.

Stay safe and reduce security risks for your company

Security updates & patches could be the most significant reason to keep your software/firmware updated. As technology is getting more connected every day, your databases & devices that store all of your product details are increasingly exposed to security threats. Talk2M and Ewon gateways are providing strong answers & optimal protection against these threats.

Security risks are a reality these days. There is no such thing as a 100% secure solution, HMS puts a lot of efforts in developing secure and robust solutions. Transparency is also something important in that strategy, this is why important security concerns and answers to these threats are listed on the HMS Cybersecurity webpage

Stay informed!

In the industrial world, one of the most important things is to keep the control of all assets. Since the beginning, we have worked in the mindset that you are the best person to decide when an update is needed or can be applied on a device or software.

Following this concept, we didn’t introduce any automatic update mechanism potentially leading to unwished downtime. You can subscribe to the Customer & Distributor Information Service to be informed when Ewon releases an update and what’s the impact on your machine.
