Robotina is an European company with 28 years of experience in the field of optimizing smart electrical grids. We envision the future based on the products and solutions, developed by our key experts and that is why we developed the Robotina platform. The Robotina Platform reduces electric energy consumption, lowers electricity costs and optimizes the functioning of the entire electricity grid by monitoring and controlling real-time electricity consumption and distributed production by combining The Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain technology.

We developed an Energy Management System (EMS) hardware device that senses the energy consumption and behavior of your electrical appliances after you install it in your home. After the installation, it immediately starts sending data to and receiving data from Robotina Platform. This data is then offered to the network operators or electric energy producers.

New generation energy management raises additional questions, such as: How does Robotina partner with local grid providers? Did the local electricity company approve and recommend the installation of HEMS on the electrical network of one’s home?

The CEO of Robotina, Devid Palčič, took some time to answer them:

We do understand the concerns, which have been raised. They are valid and would be critical, if our products were integrated on the grid side. But this is not the case. Our HEMS (Home Energy Management System) in case of households/homes, or BEMS (Building Energy Management System) in case of buildings, is connected AFTER the ELECTRICAL METER and it is only subject to normal in-house (not on-grid) regulations, meaning CE marking for EU and UL for the USA. We are subject to same regulations as smart homes or built-in home appliances. In EU and partially in USA, electricity supply and grids are decentralized and everybody compliant has the by-the-law right to participate in the electrical energy business. Similar as the separation of roads and the traffic on the roads. We have realized 1000+ successful projects in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia, South Africa etc., so I can guarantee you there is no problem as far as your dilemma is concerned. Our business models could of course include full vertical, meaning that energy suppliers and grid operators were included. This is what we are demonstrating in the GOFLEX (see http://www.goflex-community.eu/) and NEDO Slovenia (see https://www.eles.si/en/nedo-project) projects. Our platform is unique because it provides REAL, MEASURABLE BENEFITS even without the full vertical cooperation and it can easily integrate vertically.
