Enhanced efficiency and transparency with innovative SIQMA solutions

Learn how SIQMA FlowMax.AI and SIQMA PowerPay are transforming EV charging with real-time transparency, intelligent predictions, and seamless payment solutions for operators and drivers alike.

In today’s rapidly evolving electromobility landscape, charging site operators face a myriad of challenges. The lack of transparency surrounding charging point availability, anticipated costs, and payment methods adversely affects both operators and electric vehicle (EV) drivers. For operators, the efficient management of assets becomes cumbersome with varying utilisation rates and unclear customer behaviours. Concurrently, drivers often encounter uncertainty: questions such as “Which charging stations are available?”, “What will the charges cost?”, and “How do I pay?” can transform the charging experience into a frustrating ordeal.

To address these challenges, Scheidt & Bachmann Energy Retail Solutions offers a comprehensive suite of cutting-edge solutions, prominently featuring SIQMA FlowMax.AI and SIQMA PowerPay. Together, these innovative solutions not only optimise the operational efficiencies of charging sites but also enhance the overall customer experience.

Intelligent Predictions and Optimised Payment Solutions

SIQMA FlowMax.AI utilises advanced, AI-driven algorithms that accurately predict dwell times at each charging station. By offering real-time insights into the status of charging points, it allows drivers to make informed decisions, knowing precisely how many chargers are occupied and when they are likely to become available. This transparency greatly enhances station efficiency and customer satisfaction, leading to increased loyalty and maximised operational success for charge park operators.

However, the charging experience does not end with informed predictions. To further streamline operations, our SIQMA PowerPay payment kiosk integrates seamlessly with your charging infrastructure. It provides operators with a cost-effective, user-friendly platform that simplifies payment transactions for motorists. By accepting all major credit and debit cards, as well as mobile wallets like Google Pay and Apple Pay, SIQMA PowerPay eliminates the complexities of traditional charging card systems. This flexibility not only enhances user convenience but also significantly reduces Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for operators.

Optimising Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

The integration of SIQMA PowerPay demonstrates a direct approach to optimising TCO at charging sites. The solution reduces maintenance costs, as there is no need for individual payment terminals for each charger. This efficiency allows operators to reallocate resources to other critical areas, reducing both operational overheads and the potential for downtime.

Moreover, SIQMA PowerPay’s compliance with the latest industry regulations, such as the European Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) and measurement laws, ensures that operators remain both compliant and competitive. This alignment guarantees legal security for billing processes while contributing to a polished customer experience.

Additionally, through a convenient QR Code scan, drivers are directed to a dedicated landing page where they can view their current charging status, including real-time costs and the option to stop the charging process if necessary. Once charging is complete, they can easily download their e-receipt from this page. On the operational side, Scheidt & Bachmann remotely monitors the status of each payment terminal, facilitating early detection of any issues and enabling prompt resolutions. This proactive approach significantly minimises the risk of extended downtime, ensuring a seamless experience for customers.

User-Friendly Cloud-Based Platform

The architecture of SIQMA FlowMax.AI is designed to accommodate various input parameters, including environmental data and local events. Utilising machine learning techniques, the predictive capabilities can be refined over time, continually improving accuracy. Additionally, data accessibility via an open API enables easy integration with third-party services such as integration in mobile apps or in-car infotainment systems, offering an expansive range of solutions for both operators and drivers.

When paired with SIQMA Sign, operators can display real-time information, such as current charging costs and station availability as well as any additional information like promotions. This enhances user engagement and satisfaction.

Experience the Future of Charging

Together, SIQMA FlowMax.AI and SIQMA PowerPay establish a robust framework for optimising the performance of EV charging sites. By enhancing transparency and streamlining payment processes, these solutions empower operators to navigate the complexities of the electromobility market with confidence.
