“The deployment cost and maintenance costs, maybe they [companies] don’t think about that in the development part. But if you do, and this results in long battery life, then the maintenance costs will be lower and it will be a win for the total business,” Rosqvist explained. Depending on the use case [1], the battery choice will vary. There are two types of batteries used for wireless IoT sensors: single-use primary batteries and rechargeable secondary batteries. The key difference between the two types being that in secondary batteries the chemical reaction used for power can be reversed to recharge the battery. Requirements for these batteries include low maintenance, scalability, and ease of deployment.
have become the focus of reducing power consumption and optimising battery power as the need for devices that can be left for long periods of time with little maintenance grows. Sweden-based company Qoitech creates developer tools for battery testing, energy optimisation and predictive battery life analytics. The work of companies like Qoitech, in short, looks to support companies who want to optimise the power consumption of their devices and subsequently reduce how often batteries need to be replaced. Björn Rosqvist, Chief Product Officer said that optimising power consumption saves battery replacement costs, waste and deployment cost, and maintenance costs.
