File Management

KpiX provides secure, integrated file storage for all assets, reports, and device models - backed by Azure Blob Storage.

What You Can Store​

  • Firmware binaries - attached to device models for OTA deployment
  • Reference documents - manuals, datasheets, safety certificates linked to any model or asset
  • Report archives - automatically generated report PDFs stored and accessible on demand
  • Asset images - photos and diagrams attached to individual assets
  • Any file type - documents, configuration exports, compliance records

Key Capabilities​
