Introduction to Inventory Management
Inventory is a place where you store all the firmware files, json configuration and geofence configuration versions.
What Are Firmware Files?
Firmware files are incremental updates to the software that runs on a device.
Each firmware file has an associated version number which is used to to track changes and improvements (e.g., v1.0.0, v1.1.0, v2.0.0). These numbers help to identify the version running on a device and determine if an upgrade is necessary.
Keeping firmware up to date is essential for device security, functionality, and compatibility with other systems.
