Tecell’s Charge Point Management System (CMS) maintains real-time synchronization of charger states even during network outages by caching data locally on the charger and automatically resyncing once connectivity is restored. The system uses a queue-based mechanism to store charging session data and status updates, ensuring no critical information is lost during downtime. All offline events are logged and transmitted to the central platform as soon as the connection is re-established, preserving data integrity and operational visibility. This approach allows fleet operators and charge point operators to maintain accurate billing, compliance, and performance tracking regardless of temporary network disruptions.
How it works in practice
In real-world deployments, Tecell’s CMS leverages local storage capabilities built into modern chargers to hold session data, transaction logs, and status changes. When a network outage occurs, the system continues to operate normally on the charger side, accepting payments, managing access, and recording energy usage. The CMS then retrieves this cached data during the next connection window and merges it with the central database. This process ensures that operators never lose visibility into their charging infrastructure, even when communication is intermittent.
What this means for fleet operators
Fleet managers benefit significantly from this offline resilience because it eliminates the risk of incomplete billing cycles or missed compliance reporting due to brief network hiccups. For example, if a vehicle is charging at a remote location with spotty connectivity, the CMS ensures that the session data is preserved and accurately reflected in the operator’s dashboard once the connection returns. This capability is especially valuable for large-scale deployments where network reliability can vary across different geographic regions or infrastructure types.
