EnOcean demonstrates self-powered wireless systems
EnOcean will show self-powered wireless switches, sensors and actuators, as well as energy harvesting wireless sensor systems based on their wireless standard on the sub 1 GHz band (ISO/IEC 14543-3-1x). The company’s batteryless devices facilitate highly flexible, maintenance-free applications for global use in building automation, smart homes, LED lighting control and industrial applications.
Together with leading industry partners, such as IBM, and other EnOcean Alliance Members, EnOcean is working on developing innovative building systems for the IoT. In combination with intelligent IoT systems such as the IBM Watson IoT Platform, self-powered sensor systems help optimize the utilization of buildings, create new service models and make buildings more flexible, more energy-efficient and altogether more cost-effective.
“To bring sensors to the cloud, EnOcean´s self-powered wireless technology is crucial for collecting large amounts of reliable sensor information”, says Andreas Schneider, CEO of EnOcean. “Maintenance-free sensor solutions based on EnOcean modules will significantly facilitate the transition to big data analytics and the Internet of Things. In close collaboration with strong partners, we will continue developing exciting new self-powered, maintenance-free applications for our customer’s sensor solutions in the IoT.”
Systems based on the EnOcean wireless standard (ISO/IEC 14543-3-1X) introduced by the EnOcean Alliance on the sub 1 GHz band has proven to be a resounding success in building automation and smart homes, due to its high reliability and a radio range of up to 30 meters. Self-powered wireless sensor systems help to make buildings more flexible, more energy-efficient and more cost-effective.
To further develop self-powered wireless systems with EnOcean radio standard in sub 1 GHz for the Internet of Things, EnOcean is in close collaboration with IBM, a strong partner with longstanding expertise in cloud-based services and IoT. EnOcean is one of the first IBM Business Partners to use the mark “Ready for IBM Watson IoT”.
The IBM Watson IoT Platform brings a fully managed, cloud-hosted service to self-powered EnOcean-based sensors enabling maintenance-free systems for Real Estate Management to increase operational, financial and environmental performance of facilities. Standardized sensor profiles help ensure the interoperability of more than 1,500 products from the EnOcean eco-system, making it possible to develop interoperable systems.
Cognitive buildings represent the next generation of sustainable building systems. The IoT adds new dimensions to classic building automation by transmitting sensor data to cloud-based IT platforms that link the data with other information available on the Internet and smart data analysis tools. Intelligent buildings will soon be able to integrate IoT devices on their own, generate vast amounts of data and use them to optimize the building. This gives an entirely new dimension to services and business models.
