Pico is a Swiss high-tech charging station.
It was developed from scratch by smart-me.
The technical innovation: Pico connects directly to the cloud via the local WLAN or the internal mobile connection.
This makes real-time data available to end customers and station operators at all times. The station can be integrated into a backend, energy management systems and other third-party systems, such as smart home solutions, by means of open interfaces. This makes it possible to optimize energy consumption, bill charges transparently and distribute loads cleverly – in the building and in the neighborhood.
Load management and solar optimization
Pico can be used for both static and dynamic load management (including phase balancing). In this way, they prevent unnecessary costs in the development of parking spaces, optimize the self-consumption of a ZEV (association for self-consumption) or easily integrate the charging station into an energy management system. In this way, locally produced solar power can be optimally consumed.
Comprehensive charging system
With the charging station comes the comprehensive backend of eCarUp. This allows you to determine who can charge at your site, when, and at what price. It also prevents your e-charging station from being used in an unauthorized way.
Cloud connection
Pico is automatically connected to eCarUp and the smart-me cloud. This gives you an overview of which stations are currently occupied at any time. Furthermore, the connection to the cloud guarantees a seamless integration into the energy management of the building.
smart-meter billing
The integrated smart meter can collect and export high-precision metering data. The meter data is signed during transactions and can be validated at any time free of charge (Validate meter data).
Open API and interfaces to third-party systems
Like all smart-me products, we offer open interfaces for using the data in third-party systems. With our state-of-the-art API, you can get access to all your stations in the cloud, add your own devices and integrate your charging station with other systems. Also available is local communication with Modbus TCP.
