Sustainability is not just about using less energy. It is also about understanding where energy is being wasted. As connected infrastructure expands, sensors play a critical role in helping buildings, factories, warehouses, and smart systems operate more efficiently. They provide the real-time data needed to monitor conditions, automate decisions, and reduce unnecessary energy use. But those sensors still need power. The final part of our blog series, "Wireless Power and Sustainability," explores how wireless power can support smarter energy use by enabling more scalable sensor deployments, reducing reliance on batteries, and helping organizations build more efficient connected infrastructure.

Replacing one battery is easy. Replacing thousands is a weeks-long maintenance project: locating thousands of devices, gaining access, performing maintenance, testing, documenting, and closing the job. Then repeat every 8 months or so. At small scale, batteries can be convenient, but with larger infrastructure, they quickly become a never-ending source of operational costs and sunk time. And that's not even talking about the waste. Our latest blog explores how wireless power can help reduce battery maintenance, limit wiring constraints, and support more sustainable connected infrastructure.

Organizations want autonomous operations. But autonomy requires visibility. Visibility requires sensing. And sensing requires power. That is the autonomy gap. AI needs real-world data to make better decisions. But at scale, powering the sensors that collect that data becomes a major challenge. Batteries and wiring add maintenance, cost, downtime, and waste. To make autonomy practical, power has to scale too.

Can AI-driven sensor networks finally operate without batteries or wired power? Yes. They can. Announced ahead of Sensors Converge next week in Santa Clara, Powercast Corporation is unveiling the Powercast #EDGE platform, designed to enable large-scale, AI-driven sensor networks that run fully battery-free and wireless. As part of this platform, Powercast introduces a BLE sensor node that integrates multiple complementary technologies: RF energy harvesting from Powercast, an ultra-low-power PMIC from e-peas, BLE connectivity from InPlay Inc, and organic photovoltaic (OPV) energy harvesting from Dracula Technologies. Within this ecosystem, Dracula Technologies’ #LAYER® OPV technology plays a key role by harvesting ambient light, even in very low indoor lighting conditions, providing a complementary and reliable energy source alongside RF harvesting. This hybrid approach is especially valuable in environments where RF availability is intermittent or limited. Together, these technologies enable a more robust, fully autonomous sensor node architecture that eliminates the need for both batteries and wired power. The Powercast EDGE platform will be showcased at Sensors Converge 2026, from May 5-7, in Santa Clara. Powercast booth: #837 Dracula Technologies booth: #951 See you in Santa Clara. 🔗 Read the full press release: https://lnkd.in/dXQic-kb
