PowerFlex, a leading provider of large-scale EV charging solutions, has announced a new integration with Samsara, the pioneer of the Connected Operations™ Cloud, a platform that enables organizations dependent on physical operations to harness IoT data and develop actionable insights. The integration of the PowerFlex X EV charging management software with Samsara’s vehicle telematics solution will support and optimize light, medium, and heavy duty fleet operations as vehicle electrification ramps up across the country.
The PowerFlex X and Samsara integration is enabled by Samsara’s open data platform and will enhance the user experience for mutual customers. The system will provide alerts and comprehensive dashboards for vehicle location and state of charge (SOC). It will also track and record real-time and historical sustainability insights, such as idling and fuel efficiency, which feeds into PowerFlex’s Adaptive Load Management for EV charging optimization and cost savings.
“This integration exemplifies PowerFlex’s commitment to delivering comprehensive solutions and enhancing the EV charging experience for fleet operators,” said Raphael Declercq, CEO of PowerFlex. “By combining our expertise in charging management with Samsara's robust telematics capabilities, we can provide our customers with a powerful tool to optimize their fleet operations and drive the transition to electric mobility.”
By leveraging the PowerFlex X CMS and Samsara integration, PowerFlex and Samsara customers can benefit from a unified solution that combines fleet management and EV charging capabilities, resulting in improved efficiency, streamlined operations, and data-driven decision making for EV fleets. With integrated data from PowerFlex X and Samsara, customers can monitor and analyze charging patterns and energy consumption to improve charging infrastructure planning, energy efficiency, and overall fleet readiness.
Samsara’s Connected Operations Cloud makes it easy for organizations to access, analyze and act upon real-time data from warehouses, trucks, trailers, and equipment to improve their safety, efficiency, and sustainability. With an open API, Samsara’s platform enables customers to connect their most important third-party applications and unlock a holistic view of their physical operations.

Ericsson | September 05, 2023
In a partnership, three major technology giants, Ericsson, Amazon Web Services, and Hitachi America R&D, have recently united to spotlight the transformative potential of existing 5G, artificial intelligence, and automation solutions within the manufacturing sector. Their collaborative effort aims to elevate productivity, enhance efficiency, reduce environmental impact, bolster safety measures, and curtail costs. This milestone was realized through a private 5G infrastructure trial orchestrated by the three companies at Hitachi Astemo Americas' electric vehicle manufacturing facility in Berea, Kentucky, USA.
Real-time video feeds from the component assembly operation, processed using Hitachi video analytics, were transmitted across the Ericsson private 5G network. This approach enabled the early detection of defects, thereby minimizing material wastage and production losses. The primary objective was to construct, train, and implement these models to elevate product quality on the manufacturing floor, a substantial stride in integrating multiple technological components within the industry. It demonstrates the potential for improving product quality, operational efficiency, and supply chain optimization.
Ericsson Private 5G, built upon Ericsson's 4G and 5G radio technology and dual-mode core, facilitates a wide array of applications in both indoor and outdoor environments. It seamlessly integrates with business operations, devices, and applications, ushering in elevated levels of efficiency in productivity, cost-effectiveness, and energy consumption. This pre-integrated product will ensure swift deployment, offering advanced and intelligent operations while safeguarding sensitive data on-site. The adaptability of Ericsson Private 5G extends to various use cases, industries, and complexities, catering to the diverse needs of enterprises.
The deployment results have showcased significant operational and business impacts, from enhanced product quality and cost reduction to optimizing the entire supply chain ecosystem. Notably, the implementation of use cases through Ericsson Private 5G has been an achievement, as evidenced by the swift setup of cameras on a live production assembly line for electric vehicle motor components. The seamless transfer of vast video data to AWS Snow Family devices, enabled by 5G's low latency and high throughput, enabled streamlined decision-making.
On Thursday, August 24, 2023, Ericsson hosted a webinar discussing the full deployment and highlighting how private 5G is a dependable, flexible, and high-performance network for manufacturing use cases involving AI and ML automation models.
