About Qbee

Qbee is a unified operations platform for managing IoT devices and intelligent edge infrastructure.

It provides a single control plane to help engineering teams simplify device operations through configuration management, OTA software updates, automation, monitoring and secure remote access.

The Qbee way

How we build Qbee is shaped by a few core principles, from how we work and develop our platform to the choices we believe engineering teams should be free to make.

Why we exist

As connected products shift from one-time hardware sales to continuously evolving, software-driven products, organizations need to operate thousands of distributed Linux devices like cloud infrastructure.

However, many fleet management tools lock customers into a specific OTA framework or deployment model, creating migration risk and operational friction as architectures evolve.

How we work

We believe your architecture decisions should stay yours. Qbee adapts to the Linux distribution, hardware and OTA software framework you've already chosen, rather than asking you to build around ours.

We also believe IoT fleet management should be part of the plan from the start, and that the complexity of scaling from one device to thousands should be absorbed by the platform, not your engineering team.

What we believe

Our philosophy is inspired by the Toyota Way and its principles of continuous improvement and respect for people. We apply the same mindset to how we develop our platform, work together and support our customers.

What makes Qbee different

Qbee is built to be open and non-prescriptive. It works across Linux hardware and distributions such as Debian, Ubuntu and Yocto, as well as OTA frameworks including RAUC, SWUpdate, and custom solutions.

Qbee brings these together with different application stacks, from containers and native applications to edge AI, under one operational infrastructure layer.

Qbee engineering team

Behind Qbee is an international engineering team with expertise across Linux, IoT infrastructure, embedded systems and device operations.
‍
From our headquarters in Norway, we build secure and scalable solutions for connected products and distributed device fleets around the world, working closely across disciplines to solve complex technical challenges and continuously improve the Qbee platform.
