LUNA GEBER ENGINEERING SRL
Italian SME engineering energy harvesting systems and ruggedized IoT sensors for industrial and smart mobility applications.
Their core work
Luna Geber Engineering is an Italian SME specializing in sensor systems, IoT hardware, and electronics packaging for demanding operating conditions. They develop smart sensor and energy harvesting solutions that enable IoT devices to operate in harsh industrial and mobile environments. Their work spans from ruggedized electronics packaging for manufacturing floors to nanomaterial-based energy harvesting systems that power next-generation connected devices. They contribute engineering expertise to European consortia focused on smart mobility, industrial IoT, and self-powered sensor networks.
What they specialise in
CHARM focused on tolerant smart systems for IoT/AI in challenging environments; sensor expertise also applied in Energy ECS for smart tyres and vehicle systems.
CHARM project specifically addresses packaging technologies for industrial IoT sensors in manufacturing settings.
Energy ECS covers V2G, smart grid integration, EV charging, and bi-directional charging — a newer direction for the company.
How they've shifted over time
Luna Geber entered H2020 in 2020 with a focus on ruggedized electronics — packaging technologies and sensor systems for industrial IoT in harsh manufacturing environments (CHARM). By their second and third projects, they shifted decisively toward energy harvesting, smart nanomaterials, and mobility applications including electric vehicles, V2G, and smart tyres. The trajectory is clear: from making sensors survive tough conditions to making sensors power themselves in mobile and connected environments.
Moving toward self-powered IoT and smart mobility systems — expect future work at the intersection of energy harvesting, electric vehicles, and autonomous sensor networks.
How they like to work
Luna Geber operates exclusively as a consortium participant, never as coordinator, which is typical for a specialized SME contributing targeted engineering skills to larger research efforts. With 72 unique partners across just 3 projects, they work in large European consortia (averaging 24+ partners per project). This breadth of partnerships suggests they are a flexible, integration-ready contributor rather than a project driver — easy to bring into a new consortium without prior relationship.
Despite only 3 projects, Luna Geber has collaborated with 72 distinct partners across 16 countries, giving them a surprisingly wide European network for a small company. This reach comes from participating in large-scale Innovation Actions and Research & Innovation Actions with broad consortia.
What sets them apart
Luna Geber sits at a specific intersection that few SMEs occupy: ruggedized electronics engineering combined with energy harvesting and smart materials expertise. While many companies work on IoT sensors or on energy harvesting separately, Luna Geber bridges the gap — making self-powered sensor systems that survive real-world conditions. For consortium builders, they offer a practical engineering partner who can translate nanomaterial research into functional hardware for industrial and mobility applications.
