EnOcean is a German company that specializes in energy harvesting wireless technology. Here's a breakdown of what that means and what the company does:
What is Energy Harvesting?

• Energy harvesting is the process of capturing small amounts of energy from external sources like motion, light, or temperature differences and converting that energy into usable electrical energy.

• EnOcean is a pioneer in energy harvesting technology.
• Founded in 2001, EnOcean GmbH is a spin-off of Siemens AG, headquartered in Oberhaching, near Munich, Germany, with a subsidiary in Salt Lake City, UT.
• The company develops and manufactures batteryless, wireless sensors, switches, and controls. These devices don't need batteries because they harvest energy from their environment.

• Self-Powered Devices: EnOcean's products are self-powered and maintenance-free.
• Energy Sources: They use miniaturized energy converters to obtain energy from sources including:
• Mechanical motion
• Indoor light (using solar cells)
• Temperature variations (using thermoelectric converters)
• Ultra-Low Power: The technology is designed for ultra-low power consumption, making it suitable for wireless sensors and sensor networks.
• Wireless Communication: The harvested energy is used for wireless communication, transmitting data to receivers or other devices.

• Building automation systems: This is a primary application, enabling wireless control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), and other building systems.
• Industrial automation:
• Smart homes:
• Transportation:
• Logistics
• LED Lighting Control
• Internet of Things (IoT): EnOcean provides sensor-to-cloud solutions.

• Sustainability: EnOcean's technology promotes sustainability by enabling batteryless devices and reducing the need for wiring.
• Open Standards: EnOcean uses robust radio technology that complies with open standards.
• OEM Partnerships: They has many partnerships (over 300 customers).
