phyHUB
Secure Updates. Effortless Scaling
The professional and scalable solution for your update and device management
phyHUB gives you a central interface to conveniently monitor, manage, and update your devices in the field. It eliminates the need to build your own update infrastructure, allowing you to benefit from a professional, scalable solution developed in partnership with ML!PA for industrial series production. This enables your development team to focus on what truly creates value for your business.
Why Modern Devices Need Professional Update Management
Once embedded devices are deployed in the field, maintenance effort, accountability, and documentation requirements increase significantly.
Updates must be distributed securely, device statuses tracked reliably, and regulatory requirements met.
phyHUB provides support where manual processes and in-house developments reach their limits.

Regulation increases
update pressure
Update, security, and regulatory expertise
can quickly become a project bottleneck.

Self-hosting
ties up capacity
Operation, maintenance, and security require
ongoing effort and internal resources.

Equipment fleets
become hard to oversee
Without a central platform, device versions
update status, and security gaps are hard to track.

Specialized knowledge
becomes a risk
Update, security, and regulatory expertise
can quickly become a project bottleneck.

In-house development
costs time
Custom update solutions tie up developers
for months and delay your product.

Municipal enterprise

How phyHUB solves these challenges

Central platform for your devices fleet
Comprehensive cybersecurity consulting for embedded systems – from concept support and Secure by Design to risk-based analysis and the retrofitting of existing designs.

Secure updates throughout the entire lifecycle
Meet regulatory requirements such as the Cyber Resilience Act. phyHUB helps you provide updates traceably and document the long-term health of your devices.

No dedicated update infrastructure required.
Avoid the costly development of your own update solution. phyHUB provides a proven platform, allowing your team to focus on your product.

Operation and hosting already covered
phyHUB is operated and maintained by PHYTEC. You don’t have to worry about infrastructure, scaling, or security updates — while still retaining the option to run it in your own environment if needed.

Flexible and adaptable to your requirements
In cooperation with ML!PA, additional features, integrations, or custom processes for your update management can be implemented — tailored to your workflows and systems.

Various hardware platform support
phyHUB is not limited to a specific platform. The solution can be used with PHYTEC hardware as well as with other devices, provided the technical requirements are met.
Pproven in practice in the field
phyHUB is based on ML!PA's OTA and device management technology, which is already being used in industrial IoT and embedded projects.



Expandable with PHYTEC softwareServices
Additional components from the PHYTEC ecosystem can be seamlessly integrated into the phyHUB platform. Our CVE Monitoring service continuously monitors the SBOMs of your products and displays relevant vulnerabilities directly in the context of the affected devices within phyHUB. With our Software Lifecycle Management (SLCM), we maintain your individual BSP and provide continuous updates with resolved CVEs when required, which can then be deployed selectively via phyHUB. All components are modular and can be booked independently, allowing you to use phyHUB, CVE Monitoring, and SLCM either separately or in combination — depending on your requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. phyHUB is not exclusively limited to PHYTEC hardware. The solution can also be used with other embedded hardware, provided the technical requirements are met. Crucially, the target system must support the necessary update mechanisms and integrate seamlessly into the update process.
PHYTEC will work with you to assess whether your existing platform is suitable and what adjustments are necessary. This makes phyHUB suitable for both new projects and existing fleets of devices that need to be retrofitted with professional update management.
You don't need to delve deeply into Yocto or Linux to use phyHUB productively. phyHUB is designed to simplify complex update processes and make them centrally controlled.
Naturally, the technical integration is based on embedded Linux and Yocto components, depending on the system. However, PHYTEC supports you with the setup, integration, and customization. Therefore, your team doesn't need to develop the entire update infrastructure in-house or maintain in-depth specialist knowledge permanently.
The scope of licensing and support depends on your project, your fleet of devices, and the desired features. Services. Typically, phyHUB includes not only the use of the platform, but also support with integration, operation, maintenance and further development.
Depending on the agreement, this includes technical consulting, support during commissioning, assistance with update scenarios, and support for questions regarding the platform, device connectivity, and update processes. This way, you receive not just a tool, but a supported solution for the long-term operation of your devices in the field.
phyHUB is designed to grow with your needs in the long term. If your hardware platform, operating system, or product strategy changes later, the solution can be adapted accordingly.
A platform change typically involves a technical review and, if necessary, adjustments to integration, update mechanisms, or device interfaces. The advantage: You don't start from scratch, but can build upon an existing update management structure.
Yes. Individual customizations are possible and an important part of many phyHUB projects. Depending on requirements, additional functions, integrations, workflows, or project-specific requirements can be implemented.
This can include, for example, interfaces to existing systems, special release processes, customized update logic, customer-specific dashboards, or special requirements for documentation and traceability. PHYTEC supports you from the technical assessment to implementation.
