Smarter public charging facility management, Alinket smart charging pile solution

With the popularity of new energy vehicles, a large number of public charging facilities are needed to meet the daily charging needs of users, which will bring new opportunities for the development of the charging pile industry. At the same time, the continuous expansion of the industry has also put forward higher requirements for the daily management of charging piles, and the intelligent upgrade of public charging piles can quickly and effectively improve the management.

Problems existing in the use and management of public charging piles

The owner cannot obtain the location of the charging pile, and the existing facility resources are idle and wasted

In daily use, because electric owners cannot obtain the location of nearby idle charging piles in advance, they often need to keep driving to find charging piles, and cannot reasonably plan charging stations and trips, which not only consumes time and energy, but also may affect driving safety. In addition, the location of the charging pile cannot be shared, which may also cause waste of existing charging resources and unnecessary queuing, which brings inconvenience to use.

The daily operation supervision of charging piles is inefficient, and there are security risks if the faults are not investigated

As the total number of public charging piles is large and their distribution locations are scattered, the traditional operation and maintenance method requires a lot of manpower and time costs. Some charging piles may not be properly supervised, and the charging piles may be occupied or unable to be used normally, affecting the user experience. In addition, the charging pile failure may not be timely investigated and solved, resulting in security risks.

There are loopholes in the charging pile charging system, and the opaque standard leads to the loss of part of the cost

Because the charging standard of different public charging piles is not uniform and the charging method is not transparent, it may lead to fee disputes and user loss. Some bad operators may carry out false billing and affect the market order. In addition, since charging piles are mostly self-used, there may be a cost loss problem, which reduces the operator's income and affects the quality of subsequent services.

Alinket smart charging pile solution

Solution introduction

Alinket smart charging pile solution based on the Internet of Things technology to transform the charging pile parking space and upgrade the parking charging mode, to achieve the linkage management of parking status, parking lock and charging pile, improve the utilization rate of charging pile and economic benefits.

By embedding the Alinket ALX420A Bluetooth controller in the charging pile, when the vehicle (equipped with on-board Bluetooth) enters the charging position, the charging pile can automatically detect the vehicle, identify the vehicle manufacturer, model and other information and authenticate. After the authentication is passed, the charging pile can send a signal to open/close the corresponding lock of the parking space through BLE, allowing the vehicle to enter/leave.

By connecting the Alinket data gateway to the charging pile distribution system, remote charging pile operation and data return can be carried out to realize intelligent charging pile management.

Spotlight of the solution

The Alinket Bluetooth controller enables the charging system and vehicle movement to be directly connected via Bluetooth, enabling real-time payment and easy to use.

Alinket data gateway is used to realize the direct interconnection between charging pile and cloud through 4G technology, and the system can obtain the real-time status of charging pile for remote centralized management, effectively reducing the operation and maintenance cost of operators and improving efficiency.
