Businesses today have more and more energy assets at their disposal. Batteries, solar panels, EV chargers, generators, production lines, HVAC systems… Each is a smart installation that does exactly what it was designed to do. Yet they often operate alongside one another rather than together. That is why we developed the Load Commander: the physical link between your energy assets and our Smart Ass Energy platform.
The Load Commander is an intelligent hardware module that connects to an energy asset. This could be a battery, but just as easily an EV charger, generator, solar installation or another energy system.
The Load Commander does two things at the same time:
In other words, it forms the bridge between the physical installation and the intelligence of Smart Ass Energy.
A battery communicates differently from a generator. An EV charger may use a different app from your heat pump. And a production line speaks yet another technical language. That is exactly where the Load Commander makes the difference.
It understands the specific communication method of each asset and translates it into one uniform language that the EMS can understand. This allows a single central platform to combine different brands, protocols and technologies seamlessly.
The result? No more separate dashboards. No disconnected apps. No complicated integrations. Just one smart system that brings everything together. That is Smart Ass Energy: managing all your energy assets from one central platform, regardless of the manufacturer.
A Load Commander needs to do more than simply read data. It has to operate reliably, day in and day out. Outdoors on a construction site. Inside a battery container. During heatwaves, freezing temperatures or heavy rain.
That is why hardware development is every bit as important as software development.
Our R&D team focuses extensively on:
Because smart software only delivers value when the hardware it runs on is equally reliable.
The Load Commander does more than collect data. It learns. Using machine learning, the system continuously builds knowledge about the connected asset.
As a result, not every installation needs to be configured entirely by hand. New assets can be recognised and integrated more quickly, while unusual behaviour is automatically identified.
Is a battery suddenly performing below expectations? Or is an EV charger deviating from its normal pattern? The system can detect this before it develops into a fault.
The Load Commander does not just collect data. It feeds the intelligence of Smart Ass Energy. The EMS combines this information with factors including:
Based on this information, the system automatically determines the smartest strategy. Should the battery charge? Discharge? Or should EV charging temporarily be limited?
The system continuously decides which option is most efficient at that moment. Not based on fixed logic, but on AI agents that make autonomous decisions based on goals, data and context.
Not every battery remains in the same place for years. Mobile energy systems move constantly from one construction site to another, or from event to event. The Load Commander is designed with this in mind as well.
Using GPS, the system knows where a battery is located. When the battery moves to a new location, Smart Ass Energy can automatically take the local energy assets and the new situation into account.
This makes the solution particularly attractive for rental companies and organisations that deploy mobile batteries flexibly.
The technology behind the Load Commander is highly advanced. But the user should not have to notice any of that. That is exactly the philosophy behind LET’S K.I.S.S: Let’s Keep It Smart & Simple.
Our goal is a plug-and-play solution that allows installers and end users to connect new energy assets easily, without complex software configuration or specialist programming knowledge.
Smart technology can be complex. The user experience should not be.
