FRANKLIN LiFe CLOUD

Franklin Energy’s software platform ‘LiFe’ is one of the most advanced systems of its kind in the UK providing remote connectivity, resulting in higher up-time and lower operating costs for the host.

We employ a manufacturer agnostic approach, meaning we can operate any charging points in Europe that is Open Charger Point Protocol (OCPP) compliant. Today we have over 60 different types of hardware integrated into our systems, enabling us to offer the best and most innovative technology available today.

Through our management information system, we are able to monitor all aspects of the network guaranteeing a 99% uptime as well as real time status of all charge points anywhere in the world 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

LiFe SaaS Functionality

CHARGE POINT MANAGEMENT

LiFe allows you to manage charging points by recording and organising data through a centralised database. This in turn allows us to control, monitor and support all of the connected charging points. We provide third party access to all of our major customers enabling you to monitor usage and CO2 reductions across your EV charging network.

REPORTING

LiFe offers wide-ranging reporting capabilities for the analysis of the charging behaviour and the use of charging points including:

Energy consumption
Time-use reporting
Revenue generation
- Geo location frequency of use
- Data Analytics

SMART CHARGING

Ability to dynamically control load across charging points through dynamic load management
Vehicle 2 Grid enabling bi-directional charging supported only by certain charger types through ISO15118 communication

All of this information is captured and displayed within our internal systems and can be used to produce effective usage and status reporting for our customers.

REMOTE CONTROL AND CONFIGURATION

LiFe supports a variety of functions including firmware updates, configuration changes, and start/stop charging operations. Additionally, we are able to configure individual pricing tariffs for each point whether it be for commercial or workplace use. This functionality mitigates the need for on-site service and configuration which can be controlled remotely via the software.
