Industrial IoT
Industrial IoT Overview
Wireless power transfer solutions from Energous enable the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) by eliminating wires, cables, and disposable batteries, expanding the usefulness of sensors, electronic locks, asset trackers, and myriad other devices that keep plants running smoothly and safely. With Energous, customers are experiencing a new world of easy-to-use, low-maintenance, wireless power. Cords, wires, and disposable batteries inhibit productivity in a fast-paced industrial environment, creating safety hazards, harming the environment, and slowing or halting production entirely if a battery dies or a cord comes unplugged. Energous for IIoT offers wireless power technology with multi-device charging capabilities, enabling near-, mid-, and far-field charging and power transfer solutions, such as harvesting.

Â
Improved Inventory ControlÂ
Energous wireless power transfer solutions can enable sensors on raw materials or parts to detect low supply levels and automatically trigger reorders based on usage. These sensors also can monitor environmental conditions like temperature and humidity to help prevent losses.
Increased Audit AccuracyÂ
Automated counts of inventory enabled by wireless sensors eliminate human error and provide complete, up-to-date counts while also providing more accurate product location and availability data than manual counts can.
Maximize Sales OpportunitiesÂ
Real-time inventory visibility ensures that manufacturers can commit to orders confidently knowing stock levels are accurate. Continual counting also helps optimize just-in-time manufacturing schedules by ensuring the required components are in stock.
Â
Waste ReductionÂ
Perpetually powered wireless monitoring of equipment status can detect inefficiencies or failures early, preventing wasted resources and downtime.
Greater Cost EfficiencyÂ
Wireless power delivery across the factory floor removes the need for wiring and conduits during reconfiguration or renovation, significantly reducing reconstruction costs. The elimination of wired power sources also improves worker safety.
Improved Brand Reputation
Adopting wireless power solutions that reduce waste and emissions can boost your reputation as a sustainable and eco-friendly brand.
Â
Sensor Placement FlexibilityÂ
IoT sensors can be configured based on the existing warehouse setup, not the other way around. Placing sensors in easy-to-reach areas helps organizations streamline project management while increasing safety and reducing accidents.
Lower Maintenance Costs
With IoT sensors, companies have item-level data about every physical item in the warehouse, including details on maintenance status and location, empowering thorough tracking and predictive maintenance capabilities that maximize equipment investments.
Enhanced Safety and ReliabilityÂ
 IoT sensors augment humans to ensure every variable is monitored for reliable, safe processes. They can detect environmental hazards, enforce procedure compliance, and enable machine-to-machine (M2M) communication so equipment can enact automated failsafes without human intervention.
Â
Streamlined Distribution
With an automated supply chain management system, sensors underpinned by proven wireless power solutions enable a fast, streamlined distribution process. Boxes can be inspected as they pass through the warehouse with a simple scan, with no delays.
Error Mitigation
Sensors and transmitters attached to boxes and powered wirelessly over the air constantly share data so packing and shipping teams can ensure the right items are shipped to the right destination on time.
End-to-End Visibility
Visibility is crucial to keep 100% inventory accuracy and identify and mitigate bottlenecks in real time. Tracking sensors backed by RF-based wireless power solutions are always on and delivering troves of data and deep business insights to take efficiency to the next level.
Â
Real-Time Product Information
When it’s time to locate items to build and ship pallets, speed is critical. With ESLs, warehouse workers need not look further than the sleek, easy-to-read displays to know what’s in each container and easily find additional products to get everything loaded and out the door fast. Energous wireless power solutions keep these displays always on and updated in real time.
Enhanced Efficiency
ESLs enable automatic shipment verification, so operations don’t slow down to scan barcodes or check individual shipments for accuracy. Item-level data enables full transparency and information sharing across the organization, so teams can make crucial business decisions quickly. With proven wireless power solutions, organizations can ride enhanced efficiency to new heights.
Error Mitigation
Mistakes impact revenue and customer satisfaction because shoppers will go elsewhere if they can’t find the products they want. They have a negative impact on sustainability when products go to waste, and extra trips to the distribution center use more fuel and increase emissions. ESLs ensure full end-to-end live visibility to achieve 100% accuracy.
