EV Charging

Utilizing Data to Improve Uptime and Reduce Electricity Costs

Simple, well-defined measurement and verification (M&V), fault detection, and KPI reporting can help EV charging operators establish accountability and “find what matters”.

What makes realizing these simple EV industry needs so difficult?

How we collect, model, store, analyze, visualize, and report the IoT data.

SkySpark is an IoT platform that addresses these technical challenges with a built-in high-performance database, out-of-the-box apps, data connectors, customizable KPI and Spark rules, an open REST API, and more. SkyFoundry’s go-to-market strategy makes this essential technology accessible to organizations that are seeking to differentiate their business without breaking the bank.

Unlocking Opportunities for System Integrators

Electric utility interconnections are costly and often take a significant time to source, which can make deploying EV charging infrastructure infeasible. Leveraging on-site battery energy storage, an Energy Management System (EMS), or excess electrical capacity from a facility’s existing electrical system can help but requires the integration of disparate systems from various manufacturers.

System integrators can use SkySpark to integrate disparate systems using well-established open communication protocols, including BACnet, Modbus, MQTT, OPC-UA, and OCPP, for analytics and control applications.

Robust Networking

Many existing EV charging deployments rely on a cellular network connection between each EV charger and a cloud server that operates the Charging Station Management System (CSMS). This network design introduces unnecessary cellular service fees and latency and failure points that can negatively impact equipment uptime.

SkySpark can be deployed on-premise to provide the benefits of local control and analytics thereby augmenting existing cloud-hosted CSMS offerings. Also, SkySpark can operate as a simple CSMS deployed fully on-premise to meet stringent cybersecurity or uptime requirements that cannot be achieved with cloud-only systems.
