PowerFlex, a provider of large-scale EV charging solutions, has announced a new integration with Samsara, a developer of the Connected Operations cloud, a platform that enables organisations dependent on physical operations to harness IoT data and develop actionable insights. The integration of the PowerFlex X EV (electric vehicle) charging management software with Samsara’s vehicle telematics solution will support and optimise light, medium, and heavy duty fleet operations as vehicle electrification ramps up across the country.
The PowerFlex X and Samsara integration is enabled by Samsara’s open data platform and will enhance the user experience for mutual customers. The system will provide alerts and dashboards for vehicle location and state of charge (SOC). It will also track and record real-time and historical sustainability insights, such as idling and fuel efficiency, which feeds into PowerFlex’s Adaptive Load Management for EV charging optimisation and cost savings.
“This integration exemplifies PowerFlex’s commitment to delivering comprehensive solutions and enhancing the EV charging experience for fleet operators,” says Raphael Declercq, CEO of PowerFlex. “By combining our expertise in charging management with Samsara’s robust telematics capabilities, we can provide our customers with a powerful tool to optimise their fleet operations and drive the transition to electric mobility.”
By leveraging the PowerFlex X CMS and Samsara integration, PowerFlex and Samsara customers can benefit from a unified solution that combines fleet management and EV charging capabilities, resulting in improved efficiency, streamlined operations, and data-driven decision making for EV fleets. With integrated data from PowerFlex X and Samsara, customers can monitor and analyse charging patterns and energy consumption to improve charging infrastructure planning, energy efficiency, and overall fleet readiness.
Samsara’s Connected Operations cloud enables organisations to access, analyse and act upon real-time data from warehouses, trucks, trailers, and equipment to improve their safety, efficiency, and sustainability. With an open API (application programming interface), Samsara’s platform enables customers to connect their important third-party applications and unlock a holistic view of their physical operations.
This integration is now available on the Samsara App Marketplace.
