Tecell’s Charge Management System prevents duplicate session IDs across a fleet by generating unique identifiers for each charging session and monitoring real-time charger activity. When a conflict arises, the system automatically resolves it by flagging the duplicate and initiating a reconciliation process that ensures accurate billing and data integrity.
How Duplicate Detection Works in Practice
The system uses a combination of time-stamped session tokens and charger-specific identifiers to track each charging event. If two chargers attempt to start a session with the same ID, the CMS immediately flags the conflict. This detection happens within milliseconds, ensuring no session data is overwritten or lost.
Each charger in the fleet is configured with a unique serial number and communication protocol that helps the CMS distinguish between sessions. The system logs all session data and compares timestamps to identify overlaps. This allows operators to quickly resolve any discrepancies without manual intervention.
For example, if two chargers in a parking lot accidentally use the same session ID due to a software glitch, the CMS will detect the conflict and assign a new unique ID to one of the sessions. This prevents billing errors and maintains accurate usage records.
What This Means for Fleet Operators
Fleet operators benefit from this automatic resolution because it eliminates the need for manual session tracking or complex reconciliation workflows. The system ensures that every charge is accurately recorded, even when multiple chargers are in use simultaneously.
Operators can also review historical data to identify recurring issues, such as faulty chargers or misconfigured systems. This insight helps improve overall fleet reliability and reduces downtime caused by session conflicts.
By maintaining clean session data, the CMS supports accurate reporting for billing, compliance, and performance analysis. This is especially important for large-scale deployments where hundreds of chargers operate in parallel.
