ZAPPP Ops Pack: The foundation

A driver reports a low-charge bus twelve minutes before departure. One swap becomes two, then four, and by 09:00 the control room is managing the aftermath. Ops Pack closes the gap between the plan and the fleet's actual charge state. Continuously.

  • Schedule-vs-reality engine checks every duty against live charge
  • Overnight readiness monitoring before the first pull-out
  • Temperature-aware consumption forecasts for today's conditions
  • Tiered alerts and swap recommendations before a vehicle fails a duty
8–10 hrs forecast horizon 0 hardware required 100% schedule coverage

01 · The product

One question, answered continuously: will the fleet be ready.

Ops Pack ingests your published schedule and reads live vehicle telemetry from your OEM fleet API (BYD Fleet Link and others). It compares planned state of charge against actual state of charge for every vehicle, at every point in the duty cycle, and projects the gap forward. It is not a telematics system and not a charger tool. It is the intelligence layer between your plan and the real world.

02 · What it does

Six functions. One readiness score.

Function 01

Schedule-vs-reality engine

Every vehicle, every block, every transition: planned SOC against actual SOC. A vehicle ahead of plan is healthy. A vehicle falling behind triggers escalating alerts, graded by time to impact.

Function 02

8–10 hour SOC forecasting

Current charge, remaining duty blocks, temperature-adjusted consumption and planned charging windows, projected forward. A forecast at 06:00 that shows a critical low at 14:00 gives the controller eight hours to act, not twelve minutes.

Function 03

Overnight readiness monitoring

From the last vehicle in to the first departure out, Ops Pack tracks charging progress and flags any vehicle projected to start the day below 100%. Load balancing and power sharing are accounted for. The morning surprise is removed.

Function 04

Temperature-aware consumption

A 5°C morning can cut effective range 15–20% against the planning assumption. Ops Pack adjusts consumption by vehicle type, route and temperature band instead of trusting a fixed kWh/km figure.

Function 05

Tiered alerting

  • CRITICAL: cannot complete current block. Swap now.
  • HIGH: shortfall in 2–4 hours. Plan the swap at the next block transition.
  • MEDIUM: 4–8 hours. Prepare contingency.
  • LOW: trending down. Note it.
  • OVERNIGHT: will start tomorrow below 100%.
  • TREND: cumulative deficit over 3+ days. Find the root cause.

Function 06

Proactive swap recommendations

When a vehicle will not make its duty, Ops Pack ranks the alternatives: spare availability, proximity, candidate charge state, downstream impact. Planned intervention replaces emergency firefighting.

03 · The picture

Planned. Actual. Forecast.

One chart the control room actually watches: planned SOC as a solid line, actual SOC as live trace, and a forecast cone projecting 8–10 hours ahead. Where the cone crosses the minimum threshold, the alert has already fired, hours before the breach.

PLANNED. ACTUAL. FORECAST. Illustrative trace; the alert fires hours before the breach, not at it.

04 · The slow failure

85% on Monday. 80% on Tuesday. Thursday is the crisis.

Smart charging spreads power across connected vehicles: a bus may draw anywhere from 4 kW to 180 kW overnight depending on what else is plugged in. A small nightly shortfall compounds across the week until a vehicle cannot complete its duty. Ops Pack tracks the drift and flags it on day one, not day four.

05 · Deployment

No hardware. No install programme. The fastest product to deploy.

Ops Pack is cloud SaaS. It reads your OEM's fleet API and ingests your schedule: manual upload to start, automated hourly sync in V2. No vehicle visits, no downtime, no warranty conversations. It is the foundation EdgeAI and Depot build on, and it is where most fleets start.

Designed with GoCollective [CUSTOMER NAME, PENDING SIGN-OFF], operator of one of Denmark's largest electric bus fleets: BYD vehicles, BYD Fleet Link telemetry, Danish temperature swings from -10°C to 30°C.

06 · The stack

Ops Pack tells you the fleet will not be ready. EdgeAI tells you why.

Add EdgeAI when you need to know what the battery is actually doing: corrected SOC, state of health, degradation, remaining useful life. Add Depot when the charging bill becomes the biggest line on the energy account.
