The Challenge
Ressolar, an Italian company with a history in the energy sector dating back to 1952, set out to deliver a network of smart charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. As the first charge point operator (CPO) in the province of Bergamo and the third in Lombardy, Ressolar knew that stable and uninterrupted charge point communication is crucial for efficient and seamless user service. To connect its fast-growing charging network throughout Italy, the company needed a reliable partner. Before EMnify, Ressolar used the SIM cards of an Italian mobile network operator. However, they needed a solution that could meet their requirements for competitive and flexible pricing, and a cellular IoT expert team that could assist with quickly and efficiently resolving any problems.
About The Customer
Ressolar is an Italian company that specializes in developing and constructing renewable energy production plants using alternative sources including photovoltaic, hydroelectric, geothermal, and solar thermal energy. Amidst the global paradigm shift towards electric vehicles and zero-emission transport, Ressolar set out to deliver a network of smart charging infrastructure that contributes to the sustainable mobility movement. As the first charge point operator (CPO) in the province of Bergamo and the third in Lombardy, Ressolar works with public bodies and municipalities, as well as private businesses who own and manage EV chargers on their parking premises, to provide a complete range of charging stations that serve the needs of diverse customers.
The Solution
Ressolar chose EMnify as their partner for connecting their fast-growing charging network throughout Italy. EMnify's Multi-Network IoT SIM provides robust charge point communications for maximum service uptime. The Web Portal offers simple and transparent SIM management, while the Network Control feature allows Ressolar’s technician team to proactively switch to a new network to troubleshoot charge point connections. In addition to easy activation of SIM cards and complete visibility into data usage and cost, the EMnify Portal gives Ressolar control over device connectivity for fast and proactive troubleshooting. Customizable pricing and data pooling in line with the consumption needs of the charging stations have helped Ressolar reduce operational costs.

Case Study
Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).
