Renesas Electronics Remote Industrial Process Monitoring System

Renesas Electronics Remote Industrial Process Monitoring System is a self-sustainable system for monitoring remote industrial processes. Dissipated heat can be recycled to electrical energy and power the electronics system used for monitoring and transmission of process data.

Features

  • Self-sustainable process monitoring system eliminating wiring
  • Energy harvesting control circuit with built-in MCU ensures ultra-low power consumption
  • System power is generated by a thermoelectric generator (TEG)
  • Back up energy through a battery and supercapacitor for no harvesting periods
  • On-board long-range (LoRa) transmitter with mesh network support ensuring wide range transmission with ultra-low power consumption
  • Optimized system architecture using the interleaved operation of sensor and data transmission via LoRa for balancing power in the system

Applications

  • Remote industrial process monitoring where power is not available and system is not easily accessible
  • Predictive maintenance
  • Flow rate, temperature, gas, humidity monitoring
