Dutch specialist ROCSYS has announced the start of a valuable partnership with ICT Group, a leading European provider of industrial technology solutions, aimed to accelerate the deployment of autonomous electric vehicle (AV) charging in ports and logistics operations.

As pointed out by the partners, Rocsys and ICT Group have successfully completed a compatibility validation between the Rocsys API, namely one of the core components of the Rocsys Platform, and ICT Group’s Smart Equipment Control System. This integration allows for seamless communication between both systems, enabling optimized charge scheduling for hands-free charging as an integrated part of broader vehicle operations for ports and logistics.

Statements from ROCSYS and ITC Group

“Collaboration is essential as the momentum behind electric and autonomous vehicles continues to accelerate”, commented ROCSYS CEO, Crijn Bouman. “By working with strong partners like ICT Group, we’re delivering scalable, future-proof solutions that are ready for operational deployment. The Rocsys Platform combines intelligent hardware, intuitive software, and proactive services to enable hands-free charging from day one. Built on open standards, it supports any EV type, charger brand, or IT infrastructure, including easy integration with platforms like ICT Group’s Smart ECS. Our hands-free charging solution lays the foundation for a fully automated, zero-emission future in ports and logistics.”

Karim Henkens, CEO ICT Group, added: “This is not just a technical integration, it’s a strategic step toward accelerating the digital and sustainable transformation of ports and logistics. Our  Smart ECS is used for managing vehicle tasks, routes, and energy planning. By connecting our Smart ECS with Rocsys’ hands-free charging platform, we’re enabling operators to seamlessly integrate electric and autonomous vehicles into daily operations. It’s a scalable solution that enables smarter, safer, and more efficient charging with minimal manual intervention”.
