Energy harvesting

Energy harvesting

Energy harvesting-based systems are designed to extract enough energy from even weak energy sources (light, thermal, kinetic, magnetic field sources) to power various wireless autonomous devices, namely wearable electronics and wireless sensor nodes. We offer the expertise to create solutions specifically designed for efficient operations with a variety of low power harvesting sources.

Ambient light energy

Ambient light energy

Tissot Smart-Touch watch model combines power generation using ambient light with Bluetooth connectivity. Solar cells covering the watch face collect the energy necessary to power the quartz movement, several sensors as well as the large LCD screen. Our electronics are so efficient that the watch is able to recharge even under indoor or office lighting conditions.

Thermal energy

Thermal energy

Thermoelectric energy harvesting technology allows converting industrial or ambient waste heat into electricity. In production lines, pipelines, or machine monitoring applications or heating systems, even small temperature differences can be used as energy source for wireless sensors or IoT monitoring devices.

Energy from mechanical movement

Energy from mechanical movement

A piezo-electric actuator built into the button of the remote control, when pressed, generates enough electrical energy to power and operate a wireless link that control a computer, TV or other device.

Magnetic field energy

Magnetic field energy

Augmented RFID is all about enabling a new set of use cases, from industrial to healthcare to smart homes, deploying functionally enhanced battery-less RFID and IoT devices, which draw their energy from the magnetic field to operate.
