Case Study: Leading Manufacturing Automation Company achieves centralized, automated remote fleet management with JFrog Connect

JFrog Connect Centralizes and Automates Remote Fleet Management

This industrial automation company, which builds programmable logic controllers used by more than 2,500 customers worldwide, struggled with unreliable, multi-step software updates to Linux-based controllers in the field. Engineers had to manually download artifacts, run scripts and commands, deploy files, and reset devices, which led to service interruptions and no centralized way to orchestrate or audit deployments remotely via API — including the need for a reliable rollback mechanism.

The company adopted JFrog Connect (part of the JFrog Platform) to centralize and automate OTA Update Flows using a drag-and-drop UI to build multi-step sequences—download artifacts, run scripts, deploy files, restart services and trigger rollbacks when needed. The result was automated, auditable fleet management across thousands of devices, improved tracking and security, reduced downtime during critical updates, and confidence that devices can be reverted to a known good state if errors occur.
