Abstract

Dental operatories with a plurality of networked devices may only require firmware updates for a subset of the devices. In embodiments, the plurality of networked devices are queried to determine a current firmware revision for each device. An update service then builds an update package that only includes firmware update images for those devices determined to have out of date firmware, thereby saving time and network bandwidth. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
