Variscite and Memfault Join Forces to Enhance Embedded Systems Monitoring and OTA

Variscite has formed a strategic partnership with Memfault to bolster device management capabilities across its System on Module (SoM) portfolio, including modules based on DART-MX95, VAR-SOM-MX93, DART-MX8M-PLUS, and VAR-SOM-AM62P. This collaboration equips engineering teams with advanced tools for remote monitoring, troubleshooting, and secure software update deployment.
Advanced monitoring and over-the-air (OTA) updates for embedded devices
The integration with Memfault’s platform adds advanced diagnostic capabilities to Variscite’s solutions. Development teams gain access to valuable data from end devices such as performance metrics, system events, and operational statistics without requiring physical access. This visibility enables proactive maintenance, allowing engineers to detect and resolve issues without relying on end-user feedback.

ISO 13485: Medical-Grade Reliability - Not Just for the Medical Sector

When selecting a System on Module (SOM) provider, ISO 13485 certification offers significant advantages that extend well beyond its medical device origins. While ISO 9001 is common in the SOM industry and provides a general framework for quality management, ISO 13485 adds crucial layers of control and validation specifically developed for medical device manufacturing – layers that benefit any project requiring high reliability, not just medical. Where ISO 9001 focuses broadly on customer satisfaction and continuous improvement, ISO 13485 implements more rigorous requirements for risk management, documentation, and process control throughout the entire product lifecycle.
