Imagine a tiny computer that never needs a battery change because it eats light, heat, or vibrations from the air around it. It's like a solar calculator but for smart sensors that can see and think on their own. This means no more digging through thousands of devices to replace dead batteries in a factory.
IoT deployments at scale are hindered by finite battery life, leading to high maintenance labor costs and significant environmental waste from battery disposal.
An integrated IoT platform combining energy harvesting, edge computing, and computer vision. This includes a proprietary microcontroller and a communication interface optimized for power management circuits.
If you are a factory operator dealing with high labor costs for replacing thousands of sensor batteries — this project developed an integrated IoT platform that harvests ambient energy to provide autonomy. This removes the burden of manual battery maintenance across the facility.
If you are a device maker dealing with poor customer experience due to frequent battery replacements — this project developed ultra-low power microcontrollers and image sensors. This allows your products to run indefinitely using energy from the environment.
If you are a sensing firm dealing with the environmental hazard of disposing of used batteries in the wild — this project developed energy harvesting circuits. This enables the deployment of autonomous nodes that don't leave toxic waste behind.
It eliminates the labor costs associated with replacing batteries in large-scale IoT deployments. By using ambient energy, devices become autonomous.
Yes, the project addresses the challenge of IoT nodes expected to reach trillions by 2035 by providing a scalable, battery-free semiconductor solution.
Based on available project data, the company has developed a proprietary communication interface and a proprietary microcontroller, though specific licensing terms are not listed.
The system integrates a power management integrated circuit (PMIC), a microcontroller, and an image sensor into a single platform.
The project period runs from 2023-02-01 to 2025-07-31, indicating the industrialization phase is currently active.
The project is led by a single Belgian SME (E-PEAS), resulting in a 100% industry ratio. This lean structure suggests a direct path from R&D to commercialization without the typical delays of academic partnerships.
