adesso worked together with Spelsberg to develop a cloud platform that digitalises the customer’s most exceptional product to date: bike charging stations (BCS) that allow users to charge their bike without having to bring their own charger with them. The cloud platform can be used to access statistics on the charging station, evaluate conditions and even control the charging station.

Highlights of the project
Managing e-bike charging stations
More and more clients, for instance, from the hotel and restaurant industry, are offering customers the possibility to charge their e-bikes. To make the charging experience easy not just for the end customer, the cloud solution that was developed provides a central management tool that includes statistics, evaluations and options for restricting access.
Option to integrate third-party systems
Data from the charging stations, including information on the availability of charging points, can also be integrated into third-party systems – for example, navigation systems – via an API that is provided.
Additional digital services
How can the data from e-bike charging stations be viably used for marketing purposes and customer analyses? We do not want to give too much away just yet, but it is possible to logically combine the data here as well.
Goals
- Networked charging stations for e-bikes that offer value-added services
- Access to additional features via app and web portal
- Option for remote management and maintenance
Concept
- Interlink the charging stations via the mobile communications network with the aid of an IoT cloud solution
- Develop a web-based management application (dashboard)
- Use case-specific processes and services
Technologies
- IoT platform as the framework, OCPP as the communications protocol
- Implementation of the target architecture on Microsoft Azure
- Angular as the frontend technology
Our services
- Developing the technical concept
- Agile cloud development
- Operating and further developing the IoT cloud solution
