Interview: Hardware interoperability

Learn how vaylens deals with different hardware models

In this article, together with our Partner Manager Hassan Asghir, we would like to take a closer look at the topic why hardware interoperability is so important in electromobility.

The answer to the question is simple: because a Charge Point Management System (CPMS) needs to be flexible to support different models from different manufacturers.

With vaylens, your charging networks remain versatile, no matter what hardware you are working with. We already work with industry leaders such as Ampure, Hager Group, Schneider Electric and Compleo - just to name a few.
