ARCHITECTURE & SECURITY

Built for safety-critical infrastructure

Voltic EMS runs directly on-site, separating real-time energy control from fleet management and analytics in the cloud.

The result: reliable operation even without internet, sub-second response times, and a minimal attack surface.

PLATFORM OVERVIEW

How the layers connect

Voltic Edge handles real-time energy control on-site, Voltic Cloud manages configuration and analytics remotely, and connected assets communicate through standard industrial protocols.

SECURITY

Secure by design

Voltic's architecture prioritizes infrastructure safety, deterministic behavior, and operational resilience - while using the cloud for visibility and management.

Voltic uses a local-first architecture where all safety-critical energy decisions are executed on-site by the Energy Management System (EMS). Local control is always primary, and cloud communication is asynchronous.

Energy control logic is executed locally only

Cybersecurity by design - Voltic Edge operates inside the local network, reducing external exposure and risk

The cloud enhances visibility and management - the local EMS guarantees safety and stability

Electrical limits are always enforced, with role-based access and secure authentication.

Immediate reaction to electrical limits and load changes

Protection of breakers, cables, and infrastructure

Deterministic behavior in safety-critical scenarios

Role-based access and secure authentication

Unlike cloud-only solutions, Voltic Edge keeps operating locally even when internet connectivity is unavailable, ensuring safe and predictable charging behavior.

Loss of internet does not affect safety or load enforcement

Charging infrastructure defaults to safe states on failures

Continued operation during connectivity outages - charging remains stable even without internet
