ChargeBot Tech: Remote Monitoring and Smart Algorithms to Optimize Energy and Operations

By Daniel Brutti, Lead Software Engineer, Sust

In the world of landscaping, efficiency and speed are the keys to business success. If some or all of your tools are electric, having reliable portable energy can be a game-changer - it’s why we built ChargeBot to provide power on the go.

But ChargeBot is more that just a power station, it’s also a LTE-connected computer that gets smarter over time. We’ve engineered the bot with remote monitoring capabilities and smart algorithms that ensure that you are able to efficiently run your crews and business.

Here are a few ways our software team has engineered ChargeBot to be perfect control center for electric landscaping.

Energy Control and Monitoring

If you’re tired of having to constantly check the charge level or battery status of your mowers and handheld batteries, we built this for you. ChargeBot continuously monitors energy usage at each outlet, ensuring that the system operates smoothly and autonomously. Plugging in five mowers at the same time? ChargeBot will smartly charge all of them while preventing overload on the system. All you have to do at the end of the work day is to plug ChargeBot into a single, standard wall outlet. It’ll do the rest and make sure your crews are good to go in the morning.

Smart Charging

With 8 individually configurable outlets, you can schedule the charging of your tools and equipment at specific times of the day. This ensures that everything is ready to go when you need it, without the worry of running out of power. With priority mode in the App, you can tell ChargeBot what to charge next with the tap of a button.

Real-Time GPS Monitoring

ChargeBot broadcasts real time GPS data to your ChargeBot app, allowing you to know exactly where your vehicles and equipment is. You can also access historical information about the routes taken and the amount of time your equipment spent at each location. This opens up ways to improve logistics and allows you to eliminate the need for other monitoring tools, which can reduce operational costs.

Monitoring and Support

All information about ChargeBot's performance is collected and processed in real time, allowing our support team to monitor the device's health status and ensure its proper operation at all times. This enables our engineers and support staff to identify and address potential problems before they affect your operation.

Error Detection and Alerts

ChargeBot continuously monitors the entire system, sending notifications about anything that may need attention directly to your phone.

Energy Saver and Automatic Recovery

If ChargeBot’s battery ever runs low, ChargeBot automatically activates an energy-saving mode to extend its use and ensure continued operation. In case of full power outage or a loss of internet connection, ChargeBot automatically recovers, restoring functionality without the need for manual intervention.

Takeaways

ChargeBot offers you and your crews much more than just portable energy. With its remote monitoring capabilities and smart algorithms, it can help to optimize your operation, ensuring you always have the power you need, when you need it. Plus, real-time monitoring, alerts and automated fail-safes ensure your system stays in optimal condition. Most importantly, our team will keep adding more features, making your system better over time, allowing you to focus on what you do best: maintaining and caring for lawns and landscapes.
