Industrial Sensor Problem
Wireless sensors suffer from battery-related safety risks
- Sensors with long battery lives have low data capture frequencies, which results in long gaps in critical safety data
- Sensors with high data capture frequencies have short battery lives, increasing risk of outages and raising maintenance costs
Industrial Sensor Solution
AeroCharge Long-Range Wireless Power allows wireless sensors to operate continuously
- AeroCharge patented wireless power technology allows safety sensors to be powered on at all times and never run out of charge
- Sensor data capture frequency can be increased without risking battery outages
- Devices charge over-the-air up to 12 feet away from power source
- System operates in unlicensed spectrum without causing interference to other wireless electronics
- Compliant with FCC safety standards
- No line of sight needed
Reduce Costs, Risks and Carbon Footprint
