Wiesbaden, 23rd to 24th October 2024
Zinergy attended WIOT 2024, an event that showcases how wireless technologies and the internet of things can drive efficiencies by streamlining processes and reducing costs.
This is the first time Zinergy held a booth at the event and throughout the two days we were inundated by questions from visitors about our range of printed batteries. We showed a range of thin, safe, flexible, printed batteries that are increasingly used to power sensors and demanding wireless communication technologies, including LTE cellular telecommunications.
Andrew Matthews, Zinergy Business Development Manager, said “Many new companies we met were surprised how thin, flat, flexible batteries could power cellular communications, like NB-IoT and LTE Cat.M1, and be used to create logistics labels that communicate directly to Cloud services. At the same time, companies looking for low-cost temperature logging products were astonished to see how thin and intelligent a low-cost active temperature logging label can be”.
“We had several demonstrators on show at the exhibition. A dual frequency RFID label that could be programmed to read and record temperature values over a wide range of intervals and store the data on-label. We were able to retrieve the label’s temperature data throughout the event, showing what temperature excursions the labels had experienced as we (and our visitors) played with them! We also showed multiple Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) labels manufactured by our customers that provide continuous up-dates of location and temperature data”.
“Safety is critical for our customers. Not only are our batteries RoHS and REACH compliant, they withstand tearing, cutting, and heat without risk of fire. We showed a video at the event of our engineer literally drilling through our battery and cutting it in pieces with scissors without any risk of combustion. When visitors see just how safe our batteries are, and that we can power wireless communications for months and even years, they are able to visualize how active labels can enhance the tracking and monitoring of individual packages”.
