Featured - Custom development TotalEnergies
Overview
In collaboration with TotalEnergies, we developed a comprehensive dashboard to provide real-time insights into their electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across multiple countries. This solution empowers TotalEnergies to monitor, analyze, and manage their EV charger network efficiently.
Objectives
- Centralized Monitoring: Provide a unified platform to oversee all EV chargers globally.
- Performance Analytics: Offer detailed statistics and trends for usage, downtime, and energy consumption.
- Scalability: Ensure the dashboard is adaptable to accommodate future expansions.
Key Features
- Global View: Visualize all chargers on an interactive map segmented by countries.
- Real-Time Updates: Monitor live status, including operational, offline, or maintenance-required chargers.
- Performance Metrics: Generate reports on:
- Energy output (kWh)
- Peak usage times
- Charger availability
- Carbon footprint reduction
- User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive design with a focus on seamless navigation.
- Role-Based Access: Secure login for administrators, regional managers, and maintenance staff.
Technologies Used
- Backend: Laravel (PHP Framework) for API and data management.
- Frontend: Vue.js for a dynamic and responsive user interface.
- Database: MySQL for storing structured data.
- Visualization: Chart.js and Leaflet.js for graphical insights and mapping functionality.
