Core offering

ihomer develops and sells a modular EV charging infrastructure software platform built on the open OCPP and OCPI standards. The five-product suite includes a vendor-neutral Charge Point Management System (CPMS), a Smart Charging optimization layer using MILP/MPC, an OCPI Roaming broker, a hot-standby Gateway for protocol translation and migration, and a fully Managed Service bundle. The platform scales from one charge point to 100,000 across multi-tenant deployments.

Product overview

ihomer offers a modular five-product platform for EV charging infrastructure software. The core is ihomer Laadbeheer (Charge Management) - a vendor-neutral CPMS that communicates with OCPP-compatible charge points. This foundation is enhanced by ihomer Slim Laden (Smart Charging) - an intelligence layer using MILP/MPC optimization for dynamic load balancing based on EPEX prices and OpenADR signals. ihomer Roaming adds OCPI broker connectivity to major roaming networks. ihomer Gateway provides protocol translation and hot-standby redundancy between charge points and backends. The fully managed ihomer Managed Service bundles all capabilities with NRG energy expertise for partners wanting complete outsourcing.
