# Deployment and device management The Nx AI Cloud platform allows you to deploy model pipelines to target devices remotely. You can assign or replace a pipeline on a single device, or clone a pipeline to all devices in a site at once. ## An overview of your sites and devices The **Sites** tab shows all sites registered to your cloud account, with online/offline status indicated by a green or red icon.

Sites listing: green icon means online and accessible; red means offline. Use the Hide Offline toggle to filter the list.

If a site is offline, the Devices button is disabled and no changes can be made until the site comes back online. ## Overview of a single site Clicking an online site opens the site's **Devices** page, which lists all devices and their currently assigned pipelines.

Site devices page: each device shows its current pipeline, a Clone This Pipeline button, and a Pipelines button.

## Assign or replace a pipeline on a single device Click **Pipelines** next to a device to open the device detail page. From here you can add a new pipeline or replace an existing one.

Device detail page: view the current pipeline and use Add A New Pipeline or the Switch button to change the assigned model.

Click **Add A New Pipeline** (or the **Switch** button on an existing pipeline) to enter assignment mode. The model catalogue opens with an assignment banner at the top. Browse by catalogue tab, search for your model, then click the **Add To Pipeline** button next to it.

Model catalogue in assignment mode: select a catalogue tab and click Add To Pipeline on the model you want to deploy.

The model is deployed automatically. A progress dialog appears while the model downloads to the device's server.

Deployment in progress: this runs in the background and may take a few seconds depending on model size.

When deployment completes you are returned to the device detail page, which now shows the newly assigned pipeline alongside any existing ones.

Device detail page after assignment: the new pipeline appears alongside any existing pipelines on the device.

## Clone a pipeline to multiple devices To deploy the same pipeline to several devices at once, start from the site's Devices page. Hover over a device row and click **Clone This Pipeline**. A banner at the top of the page confirms which pipeline is being cloned.

Hover over a device row to reveal the Clone This Pipeline button.

Tick the checkboxes next to the devices you want to receive the pipeline. Devices that are offline or have the plugin disabled cannot be selected.

Select the target devices, then click Assign Pipeline.

Click **Assign Pipeline** when your selection is ready. A confirmation dialog warns that existing pipelines on the selected devices will be overwritten.
Confirm pipeline replacement dialog asking if you are sure you want to replace the selected pipelines, with Confirm and Cancel buttons

Confirm the replacement: existing pipelines on the selected devices will be overwritten.

Click **Confirm** to proceed. The deployment runs in the background the same way as a single-device update. {% hint style="warning" %} Cloning a pipeline to multiple devices will **remove all other pipelines** on the selected devices and replace them with the pipeline you selected. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://nx.docs.scailable.net/nx-ai-manager-v6.1.2/nx-ai-cloud-ui/deployment-and-device-management.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
