System and method for reliable over-the-air firmware updates

A system for over-the-air (OTA) firmware update comprising:

• at least one industrial device comprising firmware,
• a central server comprising at least one interface configured to collect and process data from a data source,
• a wireless network, wherein the at least one industrial device and the central server are configured to communicate via the wireless network, and
• an OTA prediction module, the OTA prediction module being configured via executable instructions to
• determine a probability rate for a successful OTA firmware update of the at least one industrial device based on the data received from the data source, and
• deploy the OTA firmware update to the at least one industrial device when the probability rate is equal to or above a predetermined threshold.
