The number of registrations for e-cars is increasing rapidly and with them the demand for options to be able to charge several vehicles at the same time at the same time. Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG follows precisely this need with its Wallbox Combox and offers a system for the transparent and smart control of the charging infrastructure. The Heidelberg Combox was presented for the first time at the virtual Hanover Fair in April 2021.

The Heidelberg Combox enables the Heidelberg Wallbox Energy Control to be controlled via a network interface. It informs the user about the exact charging status via the backend system or web interface, enables precise diagnoses and evaluations and allows access to current and stored data on the charging situation. The software update of the charging infrastructure can also be carried out using the Heidelberg Combox.

The application protocol OCPP 1.6, a standard protocol for communication between central charging management and the connected charging stations, allows connection to different cloud-based backend providers. This enables remote access to the entire charging system.

Up to 16 Heidelberg Energy Control Wallboxes can be networked with one another using the Combox smart. And this in a safe and user-friendly way. This is particularly advantageous where several charging stations are controlled centrally. Apartment buildings and hotels, for example, like to equip their parking lots for tenants and customers with the Heidelberg Combox.

The Heidelberg Combox assumes the leader function when controlling the charging infrastructure and thus also the control of up to 16 wallboxes in a locally dynamic load management system. Like the Heidelberg Combox Lite, it has no charging functionality and can be installed and operated at any distance from the wallboxes.

In contrast to the Lite version, the Heidelberg Combox is designed for outdoor use. Protection against weather resistance is guaranteed by degree of protection IP54. Both winter cold down to -25 ° C and summer heat up to 40 ° C are tolerated without any problems.

The innovative and stylish design follows the well-known Heidelberg wallbox product line. The elegant housing is made of stainless steel and has status lighting.

The manufacturer Heidelberg Druckmaschinen AG promises high-quality production, following the zero-error principle. In several tests by the ADAC, products from this company in the field of e-technology have already received top marks.
