Energous and Identiv Partner to Enable Real-Time Asset Tracking for Logistics and Supply Chain Applications - Seite 2

“For logistics companies carrying temperature-sensitive goods, accurate reporting from IoT sensors is paramount and this can only be accomplished if the sensors are consistently and reliably powered. This partnership incorporates Energous’ PowerBridge technology and facilitates a constant source of wireless power to each of Identiv’s ID-Pixels tags without the need for additional maintenance,” said Giampaolo Marino, vice president of marketing and business development at Energous. “This partnership offers logistics companies a solution that not only increases the overall efficiency of IoT sensors, as there is less downtime due to no battery drainage, but also lowers the total cost and increases ROI.”

Energous’ RF-based wireless charging technology not only addresses the broad challenges of the cold chain but also zeroes in on the specific needs of refrigerated transport, a critical aspect for companies that operate extensive fleets of reefers. In the logistics of perishable goods, maintaining an even, optimal temperature throughout the entire length of a refrigerated trailer is a significant challenge. Energous and Identiv’s joint wireless charging solution offers a groundbreaking advantage by enabling continuous, real-time temperature monitoring throughout different sections of a reefer. These innovative sensors can ensure that temperature-sensitive goods are transported under consistently ideal conditions, a vital capability for preserving the integrity of perishables like food, pharmaceuticals, and other sensitive products.

“Our partnership with Energous seeks to create a solution that will bring greater accuracy and reliability to cold chain applications in the logistics industry. Together, we are developing a wirelessly powered IoT solution that can be deployed within hours instead of days,” said Amir Khoshniyati, VP and GM of IoT Business at Identiv. “With no additional hardware costs or specialized training required, logistics companies can save both money and time.”

Energous and Identiv discussed this new partnership along with supply chain optimization and the asset-tracking industry in a recent webinar. To listen to the webinar replay, please register here.
