Unlocking OEM Software Updates – Why They Matter

By RAVINDRA BALAJI PUTTEWAR

For many organizations, especially those operating in sectors like manufacturing, healthcare, energy, or logistics, OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) software updates can feel like background noise—one of those things you’ll “get to later.” But ignoring or delaying these updates can quietly lead to breakdowns, inefficiencies, and even security breaches.

At ADITI IT SERVICES PVT LTD, we’ve seen firsthand how OEM software updates aren’t just patches or cosmetic tweaks—they’re vital to performance, stability, and the long-term value of your investment.

Let’s break down why these updates matter and how businesses can take full advantage of them.

What Are OEM Software Updates?

OEM software updates are improvements or fixes provided by the original manufacturer of your hardware or embedded systems. These could apply to:

Servers and storage systems

Networking devices (routers, switches, firewalls)

Industrial machines with embedded controls

Medical equipment with integrated software

POS systems and kiosks

Surveillance and access control devices

Updates might include:

Performance enhancements

Security patches

Compatibility with new protocols

Bug fixes

Feature upgrades

Regulatory compliance changes

Why Businesses Tend to Overlook Updates

Let’s be honest: when your systems are “working just fine,” updates don’t feel urgent. And in many environments, updates are mistakenly seen as:

A nuisance that risks downtime

An IT cost rather than a performance asset

Something only needed “if something breaks”

This mindset can lead to systems running outdated firmware or software for years—until a vulnerability is exploited or a critical process fails.

The Risks of Ignoring OEM Updates

Here’s what’s really at stake when you skip or delay updates:

1. Security Gaps

Cybercriminals often target known vulnerabilities that manufacturers have already patched. If your system isn't updated, you're essentially leaving the door unlocked.

2. System Instability

Unpatched bugs can lead to random errors, crashes, or strange behavior—especially when newer software is layered on top of older firmware.

3. Loss of Support

Many OEMs tie their service SLAs or warranties to update compliance. Running outdated versions can void your support coverage or delay resolution in case of failures.

4. Missed Efficiency Gains

OEMs routinely optimize performance, energy use, or resource management through updates. You could be missing out on improved throughput or lower operating costs.

5. Compatibility Issues

When you integrate new hardware, cloud platforms, or software, old firmware may block compatibility, leading to costly workarounds or full replacements.

How ADITI Helps Clients Stay Ahead

We believe updates shouldn’t feel like a burden. At ADITI IT SERVICES PVT LTD, we build proactive update management into every IT and telecom support plan we offer.

Our approach includes:

Inventory auditing to identify outdated systems

Risk analysis before applying updates

Scheduled update windows to avoid disruptions

Rollback planning in case something goes wrong

OEM coordination to ensure proper licensing and support

Documentation and compliance reporting for audits or certifications

This helps clients in regulated industries (like BFSI, healthcare, or government) maintain system integrity while avoiding unnecessary delays or cost overruns.

One Update Made a Big Difference

Recently, one of our clients in the logistics space faced intermittent failures in their barcode scanning system. The OEM support team pointed to a known issue—patched six months earlier. The client hadn’t installed the update.

We helped them implement it during off-hours, and just like that, the issue disappeared. No hardware replacement needed. No extended downtime. Just an overlooked fix—now resolved.

Looking Ahead: Smarter, Safer Infrastructure

As digital transformation accelerates, OEM software updates are no longer optional—they’re strategic. They protect your uptime, enhance performance, and extend the life of your investments.

And if you’re juggling hundreds of devices across multiple branches or remote sites, we can help build a centralized update policy that’s automated, compliant, and easy to monitor.

A Global Perspective

As a proud nominee for the 2025 Go Global Awards in London, ADITI IT SERVICES PVT LTD continues to empower Indian enterprises with world-class IT solutions. Our recognition by the International Trade Council affirms our dedication to building scalable, secure, and modern infrastructures for tomorrow’s digital world.

Final Thought

OEM software updates are like servicing your car—they keep things running smoothly, prevent costly surprises, and ensure you get the full value from your investment. Don’t let them be an afterthought.

If you haven’t checked your systems in a while, now might be the time to ask—what are we missing out on?

LR Foundation And BLOC Launch Blockchain Consortium To Tackle Mis-declaration Of Dangerous Goods

Maritime Blockchain Labs (MBL), founded by blockchain technology and governance experts BLOC and the Lloyd’s Register Foundation (LRF), announced the establishment of a consortium to explore the use of blockchain in tackling the significant risks and challenges associated with the declaration and handling of dangerous goods.

According to the Cargo Incident Notification System (CINS), nearly 25% of all serious incidents onboard containerships were attributable to mis-declared cargo. In light of this, the consortium will explore the use of digital tools for traceability of dangerous goods cargo, and immutable attestations and digital audit trails for due diligence with a view to generating more transparency and accountability in tracking dangerous goods; ultimately, reducing incidents.

The MBL consortium will build and test a prototype to assess the potential for distributed ledger technology (DLT) to address the challenges faced by stakeholders throughout the supply chain. Funded by LRF and conducted in partnership with Rainmaking, the consortium includes Copenhagen Malmö Ports (CMP), Flexport, X-Press Feeders, SecureSystem, DSV, PSA, Port+, Agility and MTI. It represents stakeholders throughout the value chain, from ports, to carriers, to technology and service providers.

Deanna MacDonald, CEO and Founder of BLOC, commented:

“The global economy is a highly interconnected machine, and with container ships transporting more than 90% of non-bulk cargo worldwide, this machine only operates efficiently when the shipping and logistics components operate efficiently. However, continuously tracking and monitoring the contents of seafaring containers is a supremely complex task that demands cooperation amongst stakeholders and a high level of data interoperability and information sharing. Blockchain has a huge amount of potential when it comes to tackling this – but we need to bring together stakeholders from across the value chain to ensure that whatever solution we build works for everyone involved. This is what this consortium is here to do.

“Shipping containers often carry little to no indication of their specific contents. At best, a product code is scanned, traced, and managed by siloed data systems, which rarely interoperate with data systems managed by other stakeholders along the connected value chain. This is compounded by weak enforcement, documentation complexity, lack of transparency around original and content of containers. It’s great to be part of a consortium that’s bringing such a wide range of expertise to bear on this problem.”

Nicklas Viby Fursund, Partner at Rainmaking said, “Mis-declaration of dangerous cargo ultimately leads to disastrous incidents that cost lives, millions of dollars in losses, ship damage and delays in cargo supply chains. From our experience working with both startups and large corporate clients on industry challenges, we recognize the consortium approach as a great model for collaboration, and look forward to co-create a solution to a complex problem together with the consortium partners.

Professor Richard Clegg, Chief Executive, Lloyd’s Register Foundation said, “Given the safety challenges faced in the transportation of dangerous goods, and the potential of blockchain and distributed ledger technology to support in addressing them by for example providing more visibility of the activities in such networks, this is a natural opportunity area for MBL to explore, and we are proud to be supporting this consortium. Through MBL’s work, we look forward to learning more about how blockchain and other technologies can combine with governance to address issues in the supply chain and ultimately reduce the risks involved in the transport of dangerous goods.”

While the exact breakdown of cargo contents varies by container, it’s well known that at any given time, between 5-10% of an average container ship’s cargo is declared as hazardous goods and approximately 12% of global container trade comprises dangerous goods. However, it’s nearly impossible to know how much dangerous cargo is undeclared, or mis-declared.

The demonstrator project will run until September, 2019.
