The Shipment of HEMS for the GOFLEX PROJECT is Being Prepared
In continuation of the GOFLEX consortium’s energy project involving the Robotina company, as well as eleven other research, and energy institutions or companies- as the individual case may be, our energy firm is set to implement the next phase of the overall project; which relies on us directly, for its implementation. This refers to the incorporation of our home energy management system (HEMS) IoT device across selected locations and households within the jurisdiction of the GOFLEX test area. By this, we can be able to make a physical test evaluation on a relatively small, yet accessible scale. Hence, we have drawn out a program map for the onward transmission of the devices to the location of their use.
Our HEMS shipment plan
According to laid down estimates, the Robotina company is expected to transport 68 HEMS devices to either or all of our demonstration sites in Germany, Cyprus, and Switzerland. This would go in batches too, and we plan to send the products directly from our company headquarters here in Slovenia. All of these steps immediate shipping would be sent out in July, with 4 out the lot being sent out by the 4th. The remaining 64 devices would be delivered at various dates but within the month. Our team members would also be on the ground at the different locations to supervise the installation, and to monitor the work efficiency of the devices for as much as possible. They would carry out the installation and configuration of the devices, and ensure that they are well synced to the Robotina protocol network.
After all of these is done, then we would proceed with the massive deployment of the HEMS device to other and every location, as covered by the GOFLEX project scheme. The GOFLEX distribution would see HEMS devices distributed to locations across the EU states.
Why we need to run preliminary tests at the demonstration sites.
Every ideal product model that has been designed for such purposes as the Robotina’s energy optimization program, needs to pass through sampling tests, based on the various factors that would have been put to consideration. This is important if the project would turn out successful, as well as stand the test of time. Hence, we have seen the need to carefully carry out the test and assessment phase, which is a recommended phase by every proper standard. During the preliminary test, we would take down every loophole and possible errors that may show face. Although the HEMS devices and their configuration to work on the Robotina network has been tested severally, it is only wise and precautionary to still run the tests. This would, in fact, give the company more insights as to what additions and subtractions are needed to be made, before the final rollout phase.
With the level of preparation achieved at this time, the Robotina team is adequately prepared to see to the full implementation of this phase, even as we anticipate the final rollout- which is the significant milestone event.
