Tecell’s Charge Management System (CMS) provides real-time monitoring of connector status across multiple charging cabinets. This functionality allows operators to track active sessions, connector availability, and charging progress from a centralized dashboard. The system updates statuses instantly as changes occur, ensuring accurate and up-to-date information for fleet managers, facility operators, and charging station administrators.
How real-time monitoring works in practice
The CMS leverages OCPP 1.6 and 2.0.1 protocols to communicate with charging cabinets, enabling live data exchange. Each connector’s status—such as available, in use, faulted, or reserved—is transmitted immediately to the central platform. Operators can view this data through a web-based interface or mobile app, with no delay between physical events and system updates.
This real-time visibility is especially useful for managing high-traffic locations like parking garages, office complexes, or fleet depots. Facility managers can quickly identify which chargers are free, detect issues like stuck connectors, and ensure optimal utilization of charging infrastructure.
What this means for fleet and facility operators
Fleet operators benefit from knowing which vehicles are currently charging and which connectors are available for new assignments. This visibility helps optimize scheduling and reduce downtime. Facility managers can proactively address problems like faulty chargers or overcrowded stations, improving user satisfaction and system reliability.
For example, a commercial building with multiple charging cabinets can monitor all connectors simultaneously. If one cabinet experiences a fault, the operator receives an immediate alert and can dispatch maintenance without waiting for user reports or manual checks.
