Eaton, a power management company, has launched its new Charging Network Manager software platform to optimize EV charging network operations. This platform was developed in collaboration with ChargeLab, an EV charging software provider, and Eaton has also made a strategic investment in ChargeLab.
The Charging Network Manager is designed to be compatible with Eaton’s Green Motion EV chargers, as well as any EV charging station that conforms to the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP). It allows users to add, modify and group charging stations by location, manage access controls, process payments and implement pricing policies, access customized reports, leverage demand response capabilities, manage loads across multiple stations, and grant driver access via mobile phone browser or RFID card assignments.
Eaton’s Charging Network Manager is designed to be user-friendly and secure, with out-of-the-box commissioning to streamline installation for electrical contractors and enhanced cybersecurity certificate integration. According to Paul Ryan, Product Line Manager at Eaton, “For fleet managers, property owners or facility managers to effectively manage networked charging stations, it is essential to have a secure, reliable and seamless integration between hardware and software. With Eaton Charging Network Manager, customers can enjoy one of the most robust plug-and-play solutions to support networked EV charging.”
