Results for tag: "Battery Free RFID Sensors"

Within the broader spectrum of radio-frequency identification (RFID), the market for battery-free RFID sensors is an innovative niche that caters to the need for wireless data collection without the constraint of power sources. These sensors harness energy from RF waves emitted by the RFID reader, eliminating the need for an internal power supply. Battery-free RFID sensors are a growing technology designed to track environmental conditions—such as temperature, pressure, and humidity—or monitor the structural health of various materials and infrastructure without ongoing maintenance related to battery replacement. This technology is exceptionally well-suited to applications in logistics, healthcare, smart buildings, and industrial automation, where they can contribute to improved asset tracking and the monitoring of product conditions throughout the supply chain. Their adoption leverages the pervasive nature of RFID infrastructure while offering a maintenance-free method to acquire and log data. Moreover, being passive devices, battery-free RFID sensors are typically smaller, more environmentally friendly, and cost-effective over their lifetime compared to battery-powered alternatives. Notable companies within the battery-free RFID sensors market include Phase IV Engineering Inc., Farsens S.L., RFMicron, Inc. (which is now part of Axzon Inc.), and Melexis. These companies specialize in the development and manufacturing of advanced RFID sensor technology and are recognized for contributing to the expansion of applications wherein such sensors can be deployed.
