ENERGY HARVESTING
by environmental energy are no longer theoretical, they’re in use today. Even more demanding use cases such as wireless keyboards, electronic shelf labels, and LoRaWAN or MIOTY-based end node sensors are being addressed with this technology. By leveraging low-power communication protocols like BLE 5.4 and 802.15.4, developers can further reduce energy consumption and extend system life. e-peas also collaborates closely with system-on-chip (SoC) vendors to provide complete, optimised solutions for various communication standards, ensuring seamless integration into modern IoT architectures. Simplify development with miniature evaluation kits To accelerate adoption and reduce design complexity, e-peas offers miniature evaluation kits (EVKs) across its product range. These kits give developers a hands-on opportunity to explore how energy harvesting can be incorporated into their existing designs. With minimal footprint and simplified power architecture, the EVKs provide a tangible path to upgrading products from battery-dependent to battery-free.
The emphasis is on creating ultra-efficient systems with the smallest possible bill of materials and form factor, key requirements for mass deployment in space- and cost-sensitive environments like smart homes and commercial buildings. The path forward: cleaner, leaner IoT As IoT continues to expand, energy harvesting is emerging as a critical enabler for sustainable growth. The shift away from battery-reliant designs is not only a technological evolution but an environmental and economic imperative. e-peas’ power management innovations, built on over 15 years of research and backed by a growing ecosystem of partners, are providing OEMs with the tools to develop reliable, autonomous systems that meet both current performance demands and future regulatory expectations. With proven applications across a diverse range of smart home and building technologies, energy harvesting is no longer a niche solution, it’s a practical, scalable strategy for powering the next generation of intelligent devices.
