GRIDSERVE Technologies division launched in new innovation centre

GRIDSERVE is launching a new technology division following the acquisition of Silver Power Systems (SPS), an IOT edge computing business, specialising in the technologyagnostic integration of battery data, analytics, telematics, monitoring and control systems.

Known as GRIDSERVE Technologies, the new division will be based in a new innovation and technology facility, known as the GRIDSERVE Innovation and Operations Centre (GIOC), based in Swindon.

The opening of the GIOC will give the business substantial additional capabilities, allowing it to further optimise the performance of all components of its charging networks more efficiently and accurately than ever before.

GRIDSERVE Technologies will be instrumental in driving innovation and smart connectivity throughout the company’s sun-to-wheel ecosystem, intelligently integrating solar energy generation, battery storage, electric vehicle charging and EV data into a single platform to deliver the best possible customer experience.

The technology gives

GRIDSERVE access to levels of charging, battery, and vehicle data, which it is now able to use in supporting the operations of its infrastructure and networks, including assisting in the rapid remote diagnosis of charging problems and predicting and fixing issues.

The proprietary IOT edge computing hardware together with the data available also enables the business to solve and fast-track grid connection challenges and deliver more sophisticated forms of charging infrastructure. This technology will now be accelerated at the GIOC, with the assembly of rapid deployment platforms, logistics, procurement, R&D, new product development, and interoperability testing.

Pete Bishop, CTO of GRIDSERVE Technologies, and founder of Silver Power Systems, said: “The additional resources and investment will enable GRIDSERVE Technologies to further accelerate our unique technology development to better support GRIDSERVE’s platform and our customers.”
