Operations Critical

Fault Detection & Alerts

Know about charger issues before your customers do. Automatic fault detection from OCPP events with real-time alerts and severity classification.

The Problem

Silent failures lead to lost revenue, angry users, and SLA breaches. Operators often discover faults after customers complain — too late to prevent damage to brand reputation. A charger down for 4 hours costs more than just the lost revenue.
