The sensors bluetooth play a crucial role in Internet of Things (IOF) devices, but there is a limitation. They need a battery or some other valuable source of energy to work.
It seems that in our world there is a somewhat odd source of energy, since the industrial semiconductor manufacturing company Wiliot made a tab that contains a Bluetooth sensor that works to collect energy from ambient radio frequencies and does not require any kind of batteries or other power source.
All the energy needs of ARM chips are based on one printed antenna in a small comeye paper or plastic and thus can transmit information such as weight and temperature, without any kind of battery.
The battery-free approach could lead to construction stickers on various products, where this possibility does not exist so far. Clothes, for example, could warn you when they are about to be damaged by high heat in the wash, or even transport companies could track products until they arrive outside your door. And since there are only minimal extra materials involved in making a battery-free Bluetooth, these tabs would be particularly low-cost.
The bluetooth tabs are expected to be ready for use in 2020. To that end, Wiliot has just completed strategic funding alliances of $30 million with companies Amazon Web Services, Avery Dennison and Samsung.
Wiliot financiers believe this technology will succeed and in the near future you will see these tabs in wide use.
