SMART/LAB was founded in 2010 with the aim of conducting research for municipal utilities in the fields of energy management, grid integration and electromobility. Although research is no longer the company's only mainstay, its roots are still clearly recognisable. SMART/LAB meets the constantly growing challenges of the market with innovative research approaches in order to keep its own products at the cutting edge.
Close cooperation with our partners is an important success factor when it comes to transferring research results into practice and making them usable for our customers and partners. In this way, numerous research projects (Smart Wheels: ladenetz.de, econnect: e-clearing.net) have resulted in successful products that have become an integral part of today's world of electromobility.
Realise your projects without having to worry about stumbling blocks or missed opportunities. SMART/LAB has the know-how when it comes to formulating and applying for electromobility projects; you have the ideas, the customers, the space, the demand ... We bring together what belongs together and draw on funding opportunities from a wide range of funding and research programmes. Whether EMWF, evRoaming4EU, IP4MoVe ... Get in touch with us - we will be happy to help you.
We know where your project is at the right address.
The BiFlex-Industrie joint project is investigating the holistic development of the potential of regenerative vehicle fleets for operators and the electricity system. The specific benefits of regenerative vehicle fleets for companies and energy industry business models are to be worked out so that they can be integrated into existing systems on a large scale and become the nucleus for fleet power plants.

The primary objective of the SMART/LAB sub-project is to further develop the billing system for charging processes with regard to the requirements of V2I (vehicle-to-infrastructure) and bidirectional charging in general. Tariff models, incentive systems, charging process and vehicle information as well as user preferences are to be taken into account.

Dear charging infrastructure operators, did you know that a price reduction of just a few eurocents per kWh can lead to a change in the charging behaviour of your customers as well as better utilisation and cost structure of your charging infrastructure?
These are the first results of our BMWK-funded research project BeNutz LaSA! We, RWTH Aachen University, Hubject and SMART/LAB, want to support you today in preparing for the smart charging of tomorrow!
How do we proceed?
Take the opportunity now to participate as a pilot customer in our project immediately!
How do you benefit from your participation?
Further information can be found on the website www.benutzlasa.de.
We look forward to working with you!
The project focuses on the Demand-orientated development of charging infrastructure for CEP and care services, taxis, craft businesses, municipal facilities, university institutes, car parks, supermarkets and other companies whose routes are predominantly in the urban catchment area. For the sustainable and grid-friendly installation of the charging infrastructure and the simultaneous removal of grid barriers, a Intelligent grid load management in combination with smart charging stations and backend systems, which takes into account both local and higher-level system-relevant capacity utilisation, grid bottlenecks and EEG feed-in.
The skilful integration of electromobility can not only avoid pollutant emissions, but also reduce traffic volumes. In order to utilise this potential and make electric mobility more attractive in city centres, the project "Electric Mobility Without Frontiers (EMWF) was launched. The aim of the project is not only to collect and provide live information about the parking and energy flow situation in relation to electromobility, but also to make reliable predictions about the future parking situation.
The overall objectives of the project are the further expansion and simplification of electromobile roaming in Europe and the improved provision of transparent information about charging stations and their prices. This is to be ensured through the use of an open and independent protocol (for data exchange). Several pilot deployments (including in Germany, Austria, Denmark and the Netherlands) cover various use cases and thus support the development of a pan-European market for electromobile services and products.
