Energy harvesting ambient energy managers
(AEM family)

Depending on the environment your device operates in, it usually has one or several energy harvesting sources it can recharge from. We develop top-performing power harvesting technologies that derive, store and optimize energy to make your device energy-autonomous so your customers would enjoy self-rechargeable devices.

PHOTOVOLTAIC

Energy harvesting from various light sources: sun, bulbs, natural indoor light, etc.

THERMAL

Harvesting energy from various thermal sources: waste heat, human heat, motor, etc.

VIBRATION

Power harvesting from various vibration sources: motors, railroads, cattle, etc.

RADIO FREQUENCY

Harvesting power with various RF sources: 868MHz, 915 MHz, 2.4 GHz, etc.

WHERE TO BUY

WHAT IS ENERGY HARVESTING?

Energy harvesting is the process of harvesting energy from ambient power sources. The energy is extracted, managed, and delivered to a low-power electronic device, or it is stored for later use. This process is performed by an energy harvester, taking care of transforming the ambient energy into electrical power, an AEM, and a rechargeable storage element.

WHAT IS AN AEM?

An Ambient Energy Manager, also know as an AEM, is one piece of the energy harvesting system. It manages the power from the energy harvester to the storage element and, eventually, to a low-power hardware device. The AEM, managing the available power with low losses, enables harvesting power from ambient sources adapted to an IoT device.
