EDTECH: LEVERAGING AI-POWERED TECHNOLOGIES TO TRANSFORM THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE
1. Technology overview
Pleevi is a Brussels-based company founded in 2024 as a spin-off of VITO/EnergyVille. It builds software for intelligent energy management of EV charging infrastructure, balancing electricity prices, grid connection limits, solar output and building loads.
The offer includes Pleevi Simulation for what-if site planning and Pleevi EMS, which optimises charging, batteries, PV and building loads and recalculates every 15 minutes. Components are Pleevi Edge as on-site controller, Pleevi Studio as web platform and an optional white-label driver app. Named partners include Soudal, Jan De Nul and Aertssen.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Simulation: Runs what-if analysis and planning for charging sites.
- EMS: Optimises EV charging, batteries, PV and building loads every 15 minutes.
- Edge controller: Executes optimisation on site through Pleevi Edge.
- Studio: Provides a web platform for insights and reporting.
- Driver app: Offers an optional white-label app for drivers.
- Use cases: Covers workplace, depot, fleet and DC fast charging with BESS.
3. Potential application
- Factories and office parks scheduling employee charging around solar output.
- Logistics depots charging electric vans overnight within grid capacity.
- Parking operators pairing DC fast chargers with battery storage.
4. Benefits
Optimises charging against price, grid capacity and solar output in one engine. The smarter E AWARD 2026 finalist page reports over 20% cost savings versus conventional load management. Integrates battery storage and other building loads. Supports workplace, depot, fleet and public parking sites.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Grid connection limits and peak tariffs push sites with many chargers to adopt smart scheduling and on-site storage. Vietnamese factories, offices and logistics depots adding solar and chargers face similar capacity constraints.
