Energous Corporation, d/b/a Energous Wireless Power Solutions, launched the e-Sense tag, a battery-free, maintenance-free wireless sensor for location and temperature monitoring in retail, supply chain, and logistics environments.
“Adding e-Sense to our product portfolio positions Energous as a full-stack provider of wirelessly powered sensing and infrastructure solutions for tracking interconnected devices in the ambient IoT ecosystem,” says Mallorie Burak, CEO and CFO of Energous. “This tag eliminates both the maintenance burden and environmental impact of batteries while providing enterprise-grade sensing and connectivity at scale – enabling businesses to bring intelligence to products, pallets, and packages in their supply chains at scale.”
Key takeaways:
· With the introduction of the e-Sense tag, Energous now offers a complete ambient IoT platform consisting of wirelessly-powered, battery-free sensors, RF-based energy transmitters, and cloud-based monitoring software. This integrated system enables uninterrupted, real-time visibility across supply chains without relying on batteries, manual maintenance, or conventional wired infrastructure.
· The e-Sense tag operates using energy harvested from Energous’ wireless power network. It features a compact 4x5 cm form factor; is fully encapsulated and waterproof; and is engineered for re-use in high-volume, operationally-complex environments.
· The tag continuously reports temperature and location data to Energous’ cloud platform and is optimized for retail, transportation, and cold chain applications.
Sensor data from the e-Sense tag is transmitted to e-Compass, the company’s secure, cloud-based asset intelligence platform. The platform offers real-time monitoring, device management, zoning, reporting, and support for historical data analysis.
