Component Orchestration
Ensure product integrity across complex, multi-component systems
Beyond “one image, one device” updates, maintain a single desired state for the entire product – across processors, MCUs, operating systems, applications, AI models, and more.
Simplify complex, multi-component products
Preserve product integrity by managing the entire system, not just individual devices.
Connected products are no longer just single devices—they are sophisticated ecosystems of moving, interdependent components. When internal components fall out of sync, the integrity of the entire product is compromised.
Component orchestration provides a single, synchronized system to manage your complete product architecture. Ensuring the entire connected product operates in perfect unison and synchrony reduces engineering complexity, maintenance requirements, unexpected downtime, and operational risk.
Ensure product integrity across complexity, environments, and scale
Multi-component synchronicity
Ensure product integrity across heterogeneous components
Integrate and coordinate updates across heterogeneous components, microcontrollers, and applications, streamlining horizontal and vertical dependencies without the complexity. Update each component in a specific sequence, automatically determined or user-defined. Ensure software versions remain compatible across the entire product, eliminate manual coordination, and reduce the risk of failure.
Real-time visibility and automatic tracking
Track live configurations and verify compliance
Maintain an instant, audit-ready view of product software. Automatic component querying tracks and records reported software versions, providing real-time visibility into the software state of each component, whether the product has reached the intended configuration, and a verifiable and searchable software bill of materials (SBOM).
Atomic whole system rollbacks
Reduce maintenance costs and operational risks
Eliminate the risk of field failures, operational downtime, or bricked hardware from a failed deployment. Automatically coordinate system-level rollbacks if an update fails—leveraging existing rollback mechanisms or implementing one if none exist. Whole-system automated rollback eliminates update complexity and reduces maintenance and operational risks.
Total component lifecycle security
Accelerate EU CRA and regulatory compliance
Guarantee software integrity across components within a product throughout the entire active lifecycle. Maintaining transparent configuration tracking, verifiable and searchable SBOM, and cryptographic validation across all internal components. Ensure continuous compliance with the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and IEC 62443.

Economics of software update systems: Measuring the total cost of ownership for building and buying solutions
Business best practice dictates that organizations focus resources on areas that create market differentiation. Areas that are not a direct source of competitive advantage — such as enabling unique customer experiences or creating new revenue streams — are likely to be infrastructure or operational rather than strategic.
Navigating the CRA regulation: What should international companies care about and why?
In this panel webinar, STMicroelectronics' Mena Roumbakis and Northern.tech's Eystein Måløy Stenberg discuss the practical implications of EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance.
Navigating FDA and MDR Compliance: Managing the Device Lifecycle and Embedded Software Updates in Medical Devices - Dr. Baya Oussena
Regulatory bodies, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Medical Device Regulation (MDR), ensure the safety, effectiveness, and quality of medical devices. For software-driven devices, compliance is an ongoing process; each update or modification can present regulatory challenges for manufacturers. The rapid pace of software innovation makes navigating regulations more complex. Proactively addressing these challenges enhances quality, improves reliability and safety, and adds value for both patients and healthcare providers.
