enerzn.connectors · Platform architecture

A safe core. Connectors for every industry.

enerzn.connectors links the enerzn Energy Orchestration Platform (EOP) with the processes of your operation. Each connector contributes the know-how of one process: from the charging depot to the production line.

Connectors run separately from the safety-critical energy management at your grid connection. The core stays stable and protected – and releases power bindingly.

Architecture

Two layers. One clear division of roles.

enerzn.connectors separates what your business needs from what your grid connection allows. Connectors contribute the process know-how; the enerzn core makes the binding decision.

Core · enerzn EMS

The safety-critical core at the grid connection

The core is the enerzn energy management system (EMS), running on the EOP Edge Controller directly at your grid connection. It measures, controls and protects in real time – locally on site and independent of the cloud connection.

Connectors

Business logic for every operation

A connector is software for one specific operational process. It knows its schedules, priorities and deadlines and asks the enerzn core when and how much power it may use. Connectors are developed by enerzn – and in future by certified partners too.

The Flexibility API connects both layers: the connector requests power, the core answers with a binding release. Every decision stays transparent, traceable and safe for your grid connection.

The connector knows what the business needs. enerzn knows what the grid connection allows.

Industry solutions

One core. Solutions for your industry.

Every industry has its own processes, priorities and load profiles. enerzn.connectors maps them in connectors – combining the process know-how of your industry with the safety of the enerzn core.

Connector · Dock & Charge

in development

Logistics & depots

Charging management for e-truck and van fleets. The connector knows arrival and departure times, charging demand and priority of every vehicle. It schedules charging so every route starts on time – within the power the core releases.

SchedulesCharging demandOCPP

Connector · Warehouse

planned

Warehouses & logistics centres

Energy planning in step with shifts, goods receipt and order picking. Charging cycles of industrial trucks and flexible loads are shifted into the time windows where electricity is cheap and enough power is available.

Connector · Cold storage

Cold storage & food

Cold rooms store cold. A cold-storage connector uses the permitted temperature band as a buffer and shifts cooling into low-cost hours. Product safety always comes first.

Connector · Production

Production & manufacturing

Machines, start-ups and shifts follow a plan. A production connector coordinates energy-intensive process steps with the core and supplies machine data for your ISO 50001 energy management as well as for DIN EN 16247 energy audits.

Software & technology

Decide on site. Learn in the cloud.

enerzn.connectors is built on one continuous architecture from the cloud to the grid connection – enterprise software and industrial edge hardware, engineered as one.

Edge

EOP Edge Controller

Industrial hardware with AI accelerator (NPU) – serviceable and built on open standards
Local real-time control that decides autonomously on site
Open protocols: Modbus, EEBUS, OCPP
Live dashboard and data right on the device

Cloud

enerzn.ai Cloud

Cloud-native on Kubernetes – scales automatically and resolves faults on its own
AI forecasts for electricity prices, PV generation and consumption – hour by hour
Fleet management with signed remote updates (OTA) – during live operation
Encrypted REST API for your own applications

Cleanly separated

Connectors run isolated from the EMS. Updating a connector leaves the core untouched.

One shared data foundation

Storage, generation, consumption and machines in one place – for control, reporting and audits.

Openly connected

Open field protocols, SCADA connectivity and a REST API connect enerzn.connectors with your existing IT and OT landscape.

Why it scales

Grows with every connector. The core stays stable.

New use cases arrive as connectors. The safety-critical control at your grid connection stays unchanged.

This creates a flywheel: every new connector makes all connected sites more valuable – and every new site makes the platform more attractive for partners.

Stability

Fast and stable

Connectors run separately from the safety-critical EMS. New use cases go live, the grid-protection logic stays untouched – and the core stays stable, tested and predictable.

Roadmap

enerzn Marketplace

Certified partners will offer their connectors in the enerzn Marketplace. You activate them per site, directly in the portal, and choose exactly the functions your operation needs.

Portal

Activation instead of installation

Once a site runs on enerzn, each additional connector is just an activation in the portal – remote, fast and repeatable across all your sites.

The difference

Binding power release – right at the grid connection.

Software for depots, warehouses or production lines is available from many providers. What matters is who releases power bindingly: the platform that measures, controls and protects at the grid connection. enerzn.connectors combines both – the process know-how of the connector and the authority of the core.

For partners

Bring your industry know-how onto the platform.

Are you a software provider, system integrator or OEM who knows an industry in depth? With enerzn.connectors you build connectors on the open Flexibility API and reach operators whose sites already run on enerzn. The partner programme is in preparation – get in touch with us today.

Planning

Involve enerzn early – and agree on interfaces together.

enerzn is open and interoperable by design. The earlier we are involved in your planning, the better we can align data points, communication protocols and suitable connectors – so your storage system reaches its full potential from day one.

Technology

Isolation, interfaces and security.

Isolation: Connectors run separately from the safety-critical EMS. Grid protection and connectors are updated independently.
Flexibility API: Request and release: the connector requests power, the core releases it bindingly and reports changes in real time.
Field protocols: Modbus, EEBUS, OCPP for storage systems, inverters and charging infrastructure.
SCADA: Integration into your company network via Modbus TCP, OPC UA and IEC 61850; on request, operation in a segregated network.
Data security: End-to-end encrypted REST API, servers located in Germany, GDPR-compliant processing. Information security oriented on ISO/IEC 27001.
Interoperability: Open architecture for connecting a wide range of hardware. Interfaces and data points are agreed together during planning.
