Overview

Inno2Grid, a Corporate Digital Venture Builder backed by Schneider Electric and Deutsche Bahn, partnered with HBM to develop a comprehensive platform for smart energy management.

‍

This platform, known as HEMSlogic Gateway, connects various home electronic devices, including solar panels and energy storage systems, enabling real-time energy optimization and compliance with German EnWG §14a standards.

‍

The collaboration helped Inno2Grid rapidly scale their in-house capacity and expertise, delivering an MVP and ongoing improvements to their cloud-based, IoT-enabled energy management system.

Outcomes

MVP successfully developed and launched in production
Increased energy optimization and self-consumption management for users
Ongoing product enhancements, including IoT integration, cross-platform mobile app, and web interface development
Seamless integration with smart meters, photovoltaic systems, and electric vehicle chargers

Client needs:

Inno2Grid needed to quickly scale their internal engineering capacity to build an MVP for their cloud-based smart home energy management platform.
The platform required the integration of thousands of IoT edge devices, real-time energy data processing, and an intuitive user interface for both web and mobile applications.

Our customers love what we do

"HBM is a trusted partner for us for many years now.

They help us to leverage and quickly scale our in-house capacity and expertise in a way that we could never imagine without them.

The standard of integrity, reliability, and customer focus that HBM constantly lives by – even in times of biggest crisis – truly impresses us and makes them one of our most-valued suppliers."
