In many industries, UHF RFID is used to track assets, monitor inventory, and streamline logistics. But what if RFID tags could do more than just identify objects? What if they could also sense the environment—without batteries, maintenance, or custom infrastructure? That’s exactly what we’ve built with Kliskatek SenseID. What Is SenseID? SenseID is a family of battery-free, wireless sensor tags that … Read more

From Sensing to Acting At Kliskatek, we’ve spent years developing batteryless wireless sensors that bring visibility to the physical world. But sensing is only half the story. The next frontier is actuation—using harvested energy not just to observe, but to interact with the environment. Imagine switching a circuit on or off—without wires, without batteries, and using only the energy … Read more
In the age of ubiquitous connectivity, sensors are the backbone of automation, monitoring, and smart systems. Yet, powering these devices remains a challenge—especially when batteries introduce limitations in size, maintenance, cost, and sustainability. Energy harvesting offers a compelling alternative: capturing ambient energy to power low-consumption electronics, enabling truly autonomous wireless sensors. What Is Energy Harvesting? Energy … Read more
Battery-free wireless sensors are transforming how we monitor and automate the world around us. But designing them is far from trivial. At Kliskatek, we’ve learned that creating reliable, maintenance-free devices requires a deep understanding of energy constraints, communication protocols, and system-level optimization. In this article, we’ll explore the key challenges in designing battery-free sensors—and how … Read more
When Disaster Strikes, Time Matters Natural disasters don’t just disrupt—they expose the fragility of our infrastructure. From hurricanes to earthquakes to wildfires like the 2023 Maui disaster, the hours and days that follow are critical. The faster we can assess damage, the faster we can recover. But traditional inspections are slow, manual, and often miss hidden … Read more
