As EV charging infrastructure continues to expand, operators are facing new challenges: integrating different devices, managing data efficiently, and ensuring reliable system performance.
The BL118 Node-RED Gateway is designed to simplify these challenges by providing a flexible and easy-to-deploy edge solution for EV charging monitoring and integration.
In a typical EV charging system, multiple devices need to work together — including charging piles, energy meters, and control units.
The BL118 enables seamless connectivity with these field devices through industrial interfaces, allowing it to act as a central data hub at the edge.
With built-in support for multiple protocols, it bridges the gap between legacy devices and modern IoT platforms.
BL118 collects and processes data locally, then forwards it to cloud platforms for monitoring, billing, and system management.
By handling data at the edge, it reduces network load and improves overall system responsiveness.
Operators gain real-time visibility into charging status, system performance, and energy usage.
One of the key advantages of BL118 is its Node-RED-based development environment.
With a visual, drag-and-drop interface, users can quickly create custom workflows for:
This significantly reduces development time and eliminates the need for complex programming.
Traditional systems often require multiple devices for communication, logic control, and data forwarding.
With BL118, these functions can be consolidated into a single gateway, helping to:
Whether used in public charging stations, commercial charging hubs, or distributed charging networks, the BL118 provides a reliable and scalable solution.
Its compact design, industrial-grade stability, and flexible software environment make it an ideal choice for modern EV charging infrastructure.
