Battery-free temperature sensors detect busbar hot spots inside live switchgear — no wires, no batteries. How it works, which protocol to choose, and the business case.

High-voltage switchgear, GIS and transformers are sealed, inaccessible, and mission-critical. Monitoring them requires battery-free sensing — and battery-free sensing requires a team that owns the entire HW/FW/SW/RF stack. Here’s why.
Battery-free sensors are our hardest product — and the most demanding proof that we own the complete hardware, firmware, software and wireless/RF stack. Here’s why that matters for your next cross-domain project.
A practical three-question filter to determine whether your monitoring application genuinely needs battery-free sensing, or whether battery-powered or wired alternatives might be simpler and cheaper. Honest guidance on when to call us — and when not to.
What happens when a project that needs hardware, firmware, software and wireless to work together gets split across four specialists. The integration risk nobody budgets for — and how to avoid it.
The SENSEID SDK gives developers a starting point for building battery-free sensor applications in .NET and Python. What it covers, what it doesn’t, and when you’ll need custom engineering.
