Device Management · Fleet Operations

Commission and manage.
Secure at scale.

The Presciense device management platform handles commissioning, fleet operations and field service for VWAN device ecosystems. Portal for operators. Field app for engineers. Same platform, same data model, same security boundary.

Two interfaces, one platform

One platform.
Two perspectives.

Presciense does not manufacture devices. We build the software that manages them. The portal gives operators fleet-wide visibility. The field app puts that same platform in the engineer's pocket. Deployed as a white-label managed platform or integrated into your existing operations stack.

Multi-tenant architecture with role-based access control ensures operators, suppliers and third-party partners each see only the data and devices within their domain.

Operations Portal

Real-time fleet management for operators, with device inventory, configuration, analytics and third-party data sharing in a single multi-tenant dashboard.

  • Device inventory with real-time status across the fleet
  • Firmware OTA with staged rollouts and automatic rollback
  • Instrumentation and performance analytics
  • MQTT console with live traffic inspection
  • Third-party data sharing with consent enforcement
  • Security alerts with severity classification

Field Service App

Every tool an engineer needs for on-site commissioning: scan, pair, diagnose and capture consent without calling back to the office.

  • QR and barcode scanning for device identification
  • Guided 12-step VWAN commissioning workflow
  • ZigBee RSSI/LQI and WiFi signal diagnostics
  • Real-time debug console for protocol troubleshooting
  • On-site DAPF consent capture with audit trail
  • Job management with assigned work orders

Operations Portal

Fleet intelligence
at a glance.

Device inventory showing fleet of registered devices with status, firmware version and communication timestamps

Device inventory: real-time fleet status, firmware versions, last communication and bulk management operations.

Device Configuration

Remote hardware lifecycle management.

Manage the full hardware catalogue: device types, manufacturers, firmware images and lifecycle states. Over-the-air firmware updates are deployed per device type with staged rollouts and automatic rollback on failure.

USP TR-369 data model. No proprietary lock-in.

Instrumentation & Analytics

Fleet-wide visibility, single pane.

Real-time performance metrics and operational intelligence across the fleet. Identify issues before they become incidents, track trends over time, and drill into individual device telemetry.

Prometheus-compatible metrics. No agent required.

Device Detail

Full operational picture, one screen.

Every registered device exposes identity, HAN telemetry, alerts, USP parameters and a full audit log in a single screen. No switching between systems.

  • Device Identity : serial number, MAC address, firmware version, manufacturer and lifecycle state
  • HAN & Smart Meter Data : Zigbee SEP association, ESME/GSME reads, signal quality and Comms Hub status
  • Alerts & Events : security incidents, connectivity changes, firmware events and operational warnings
  • USP Device Data : TR-369 data model parameters, configuration state and remote management status
  • Device Logs : full audit trail of actions, configuration changes, firmware updates and commissioning history

Commissioning & Pairing

Twelve-step VWAN protocol.
Fully automated.

From barcode scan to MQTT handshake, the platform orchestrates every step. Certificate-based authentication (CBKE) ensures cryptographic device identity from first contact.

Scan

QR/barcode capture of ONT, Hub and VWAN devices. One scan populates all identifiers.

Pair

Inter-PAN Join, ZigBee association, CBKE key establishment and network key distribution.

Register

Device registration, MQTT topic creation, credentials provisioning and health check.

Verify

Telemetry verification, signal diagnostics and MQTT handshake confirmation.

Field Service App

Built for
the install.

The field app puts the full commissioning platform in the engineer's pocket. Secure login, barcode scanning, guided pairing, signal diagnostics and on-site consent capture. Everything needed to commission a device without calling back to the office.

When an engineer completes a pairing in the field, the portal updates in real time. When an operator flags a device issue, it appears on the engineer's job list. Same data, same security model, no sync delay.

Signal diagnostics show ZigBee RSSI/LQI and WiFi quality at the point of installation, with pass/fail thresholds so engineers know immediately whether placement is viable.

Data Sharing & MQTT

Federated data sharing.
Consent at the broker.

Third-party data sharing runs through federated MQTT connections with certificate-based mutual authentication (mTLS). Each partner has defined data categories, rate limits and protocol configuration. Consent enforcement happens at the broker level, not in application code.

Mosquitto ACL patterns generated per VWIS v1.0 provide automatic topic namespace isolation per operator domain and third-party partner. When consent is withdrawn, MQTT topic subscriptions are revoked in real time.

Security & Compliance

Defence in depth.

TLS 1.3 Enforced

All data in transit encrypted with TLS 1.3. HTTPS-only with HSTS headers and Content Security Policy.

mTLS Device Auth

Mutual TLS for every device connection. Certificate-based identity verification, not shared secrets.

X.509 Certificates

ECDSA secp256r1 elliptic curves, expiry alerts, automatic renewal and OCSP stapling support.

RBAC Access Control

Role-based permissions with multi-tenant isolation. Each partner sees only their domain.

CBKE Authentication

Certificate-Based Key Establishment for cryptographic device identity during VWAN pairing.

Complete Audit Trail

Every action logged: commissioning, configuration, data access, security events and consent.

Standards & Specifications

Built on open standards throughout. Device management, telemetry, security and consent all use published specifications.
