Last-Mile Logistics | Lombardy

A high-volume logistics hub in Lombardy was handling energy demand peaks of up to 300 kW—a load that, in many Dogma projects, requires a dedicated storage system. In this case, the entire challenge was resolved without installing a single BESS: the DCS (Dogma Control System) managed the fleet’s charging solely through software intelligence, resulting in a 7% reduction in energy costs over the course of a year, without ever compromising the vehicles’ operational needs.

The Challenge

The challenge wasn’t the electric vehicle itself, but everything surrounding it.

Technical Challenge

a hub with extremely high turnover, with extreme peaks in demand reaching up to 300 kW.

The Solution

Dogma has built an energy ecosystem managed by the CSMS, featuring peak shaving capabilities and real-time monitoring of the fleet’s charging status.

Intelligent Software Management

At this construction site, the infrastructure does not include any battery energy storage system (BESS): all of the complexity is handled by the CSMS software, using Dynamic Load Management (DLM) algorithms.

Rate Optimization

The CSMS cross-references the fleet’s mission profiles with hourly fluctuations in the PUN (National Single Price), automatically postponing and concentrating vehicle charging during time slots when energy is cheapest, while still ensuring the necessary kWh to complete each shift

Operating Income

After one year of operation, this approach has led to a 7% reduction in energy costs. Emergency or priority recharges are always guaranteed thanks to MASTER RFID badges, which bypass DLM restrictions when necessary.
