Car parks with electric vehicle charging stations have become a common sight. Many chains and department stores have recognised the trend towards electric vehicles and provide their customers with parking spaces that feature e-charging stations for refuelling. For billing purposes, these must enable centralised monitoring of power consumption. Additionally, a technical solution for remote-controlling the charging stations is required. INSYS icom, the German expert for M2M technology, offers a wide range of industrial routers comprising optimal solutions for all requirements. These network devices feature suitable interfaces for connection to charging controllers and an integrated modem that enables fast broadband internet access.
The INSYS Connectivity Service ensures safe and easy access via Virtual Private Networks (VPN). With this internet-based service, INSYS icom provides an infrastructure that allows customers to quickly and easily connect any number of industrial applications via VPN. With the group management function, users can create individual groups where they can, for example, separately manage the levels of multi-storey car parks. Users do not any longer need to create or manage safety certificates that are usually required for the use of VPN tunnels, which saves time. Industrial routers from INSYS icom are pre-configured for a quick set-up with the INSYS Connectivity Service. The system then autonomously sets all required configurations.
For use of devices from third-party manufacturers, all required configuration data and certificates are available for download.
