The Problem

EV site errors reduce utilisation for the life of the asset

EV site planning errors — undersized grid connections, suboptimal charger placement, or poor site access — reduce utilisation and revenue for the operational life of the asset. In a sector where site performance directly determines network ROI, these are not recoverable mistakes.

Without DBF With DBF
Charger placement and site coverage optimised in separate workstreams
AI generates EV site layouts scored against utilisation and coverage KPIs
Grid connection and power demand estimated
Demand modelled from charger configurations before grid applications
Site access, circulation, and queuing planned intuitively
Access, vehicle routing, and queuing scenarios tested simultaneously
Future charger density assumed
Scalability scenarios tested for network growth and technology upgrades
Process

How It Works

01
Process Mapping

Upload production flow requirements, site constraints, and operational targets. DBF maps process data to spatial parameters.

02
Layout Generation

The AI generates factory layout configurations scored against production flow, efficiency, and brief compliance.

03
Flow Validation

Every production adjacency and process relationship validated before design begins. Conflicts surface at feasibility with impact scores.

04
Infrastructure Sizing

Specialist utilities, high-voltage, and MEP infrastructure demands modelled from process and production data — not estimated.

05
Compliance Checking

Safety zoning, hazardous material areas, and regulatory requirements validated at feasibility stage, not detailed design.

06
BIM Handoff

Validated factory layouts, process flows, and infrastructure data export directly to BIM, eliminating manual re-entry.

Platform

Built for EV network planning at scale

Every DBF capability is designed for the specific demands of EV site planning — where charger placement, grid demand, and site access interact to determine operational performance from day one.

Future Vision

Planning the charging networks powering transport decarbonisation

As EV adoption accelerates and charging infrastructure demand intensifies, the need for data-driven EV site planning will grow. Grid connections will become constrained, planning requirements will tighten, and the competition for high-utilisation sites will increase. DBF enables faster, smarter feasibility for the charging networks underpinning transport decarbonisation — giving network operators and developers the spatial evidence to commit earlier and perform better.
