Solving issues in equipment monitoring system

Stand-alone powered sensor systems combined with energy harvesting

All-solid-state batteries do not require periodic replacement. Therefore, when used as the power source for a stand-alone power supply system for equipment monitoring system, the frequency of battery replacement can be reduced. All-solid-state batteries are also suitable for installation in harsh temperature environments because of their wide dischargeable temperature range of -50 to +125 deg. C. By taking advantage of these features, stand-alone powered systems can be realized in which energy-harvested power from sunlight, indoor light, vibration, heat, etc. can be stored in all-solid-state batteries to power sensors.

For example, in industrial equipment such as pumps, boilers and compressors, vibration can be monitored by attaching an independent power supply system and a sensor to them. If there is something wrong with the equipment that is causing unusual vibration and the vibration can be detected as a predictive sign of failure, maintenance can be performed before the equipment breaks down and equipment downtime can be avoided.
