Texture Launches Device Cloud to Make Energy Device Fleets Grid‑Ready from Day One

NEW YORK — September 8, 2025 — Texture today announced Texture Device Cloud, a fully managed, energy‑native backend that helps energy device manufacturers ship faster and scale fleets that are credible to utilities and partners from day one, not just "cloud‑connected." Device Cloud packages Texture's proven capabilities into a manufacturer‑ready platform designed for grid interoperability, security, and enterprise governance.

As distributed energy resources and connected grid devices — from smart meters to inverters and batteries — multiply across the grid, manufacturers face mounting pressure from utilities, financiers, and partners to ship hardware that integrates seamlessly with grid operations, not just basic cloud connectivity.

Device Cloud at a glance

• Core cloud infrastructure out of the box: hosted OAuth2, secure device identity and key provisioning, real‑time telemetry ingest, control APIs, fleet monitoring/alerting, optional firmware tracking, and hosted developer docs.
• Energy‑native context baked in: market prices, emissions, weather, constraints; reusable program logic for eligibility, consent, dispatch readiness, and verification; cross‑party integrations (utilities, VPPs, CCAs, financiers); and enterprise governance with role‑based access and audit trails.
• Grid‑ready workflows: customer/enrollment, asset/telemetry health, program/dispatch (coordinating devices to provide grid services) with real‑time verification, and privacy‑preserving compliance/reporting for partners.

"Device makers shouldn't have to sink a year of engineering into cloud infrastructure their customers never see," said Victor Quinn, Co‑founder & CTO of Texture. "With Device Cloud, energy device manufacturers get secure identity, real‑time telemetry and control, and the grid context and compliance partners demand—so they can focus on shipping great hardware."

Why it matters for manufacturer economics

Device Cloud helps energy device manufacturers skip 6–12 months of backend buildout, avoid $500k+ in sunk infrastructure cost, and launch with grid readiness that shortens enterprise sales cycles and partner due diligence. Unlike basic cloud platforms, Device Cloud includes the energy‑specific features—like utility coordination and compliance reporting—that partners demand.

Availability

Texture Device Cloud is available today. It has been built alongside manufacturers across EVSE, batteries, inverters, meters, and more, with opinionated defaults where reliability and compliance matter most.

About Texture

Texture is an AI-native energy operations platform that turns fragmented energy data into coordinated, actionable intelligence. The platform integrates data from distributed energy resources (DERs)—like solar panels, batteries, and EV chargers—as well as smart meters, inverters, and other grid-connected devices alongside core operational systems. All of this flows into a unified data cloud that powers the workflows energy companies use every day—enrollment, dispatch, compliance, and real-time coordination across partners. Texture helps utilities, developers, manufacturers, and grid-service providers replace silos with a single coordination layer that reduces costs, strengthens reliability, and unlocks new revenue.

Texture will be at the RE+ Conference in Las Vegas this week with a full team on site to discuss Device Cloud and other platform capabilities.
