unu Scooter and Tailos Robot Cleaner on show at Foundries.io Booth EW, 4-139

Designed in Germany, the unu Scooter is a road-going, two-passenger, battery powered e-scooter. FoundriesFactory is used to deploy a secure, customizable Linux-based software platform with fleet management services in the scooters, giving unu the ability to securely update, manage and maintain their scooters with new functionalities via over-the-air (OTA) updates. 

Foundries.io changes the game for us,” said Pascal Blum, Co-Founder and CEO of unu. “By using FoundriesFactory to test and deploy our scooters, we know we’ll be able to automatically deliver new functionality and safety to our customers in real-time over the entire product lifecycle.” 

The Tailos (pka Maidbot) Robot Cleaner revolutionizes the commercial cleaning industry by leaving dull, dirty and dangerous tasks to autonomous solutions, allowing humans to focus on more meaningful and enjoyable work. Tailos is using FoundriesFactory to deploy a secure, customizable Linux-based software platform with fleet management services in its robot cleaners, giving the company fine control over the lifecycle of OTA updates updates and the ability to optimize build to deployment pipelines with integrated CI/CD for both the software platform (Linux microPlatform) and its own applications. 

Foundries.io is an integral part of our product and really represents the enabler for IoT and Edge innovation,” said Micah Greene, CEO, Tailos. 

Foundries.io will also be demonstrating management of a fleet of IoT devices in its Booth EW, 4-139, consisting of a variety of System on Module (SoM) and development boards that include several Arduino Pro Portenta X8 SoMs, a WINSYSTEMS C444 single board computer (SBC), an  Intel NUC (Next Unit of Computing) and a Xilinx Kria development board.
