summary

A Berlin startup builds hardware boxes and a control stack that throttle industrial loads (paper mills, furnaces) as virtual batteries to balance a national grid, proving demand modulation works in production and handles soft real‑time (minute‑scale) requirements. Initial firmware and server code run in Python, later replaced by an embedded Erlang VM and Erlang/OTP on servers; MySQL stores rectangular telemetry; a relay enables cold reset. Erlang reduces operational complexity and the team reports far fewer outages.
