Charge Point Academy: Understanding 3-Layer Architecture

Hi, I'm Robert. I'm CTO of FlexiCharge and in the next 60 seconds I'm going to explain you how with the FlexiCharge platform you can build a three-layered architecture for your charging infrastructure which provides load and energy management as a separate layer within this architecture. In the classic two-layer architecture you're having the charging stations directly connected to the CPMS, the charge point management system. The disadvantage if you want load energy management is that you rely on the load and energy management being implemented in the CPMS or you rely on having it implemented in the charging station. With the FlexiCharge platform you can plug in a third layer in between the charging stations they connect to the FlexiCharge platform from there you can connect on to the CPMS and the platform the FlexiCharge system provides load energy management for your charging infrastructures. Ultimately as a charge point operator you get vendor independency from your for your load energy management solution system and you are free of choice to connect any charging station or any CPMS which provides your vendor independency. Therefore you have supply security and you can operate your charging infrastructures more efficiently and more reliable.
