EPC Gen2 + Sensor Integration: Two Standards‑Compliant Paths (EPC‑embedded vs. User Memory)
How Kliskatek designs both approaches—and when each one shines.
What “Battery‑Free” Really Means in IoT — Clearing the Confusion
“Battery‑free” doesn’t mean “no energy.” It means sensors harvest energy on demand (often from sub‑1 GHz RF) and buffer it (e.g., in capacitors/supercapacitors) to take a measurement and backscatter the data. That subtle difference is what makes deployments practical, compliant, and maintenance‑free.
Automating with Insight: Battery-Free Switch Monitors for Smarter Processes
Visibility Is the First Step to Automation Switches are everywhere—light controls, safety interlocks, mechanical locks in warehouses. Yet in many industrial environments, we still rely on manual checks to know whether a switch is open or closed. At Kliskatek, we believe automation begins with visibility. That’s why we’re introducing battery-free RFID switch monitors—a simple, scalable … Read more
Top 5 Energy Harvesting Techniques for IoT Devices
Explore the top 5 energy harvesting techniques for IoT devices. Learn how solar, thermoelectric, piezoelectric, RF, and kinetic energy harvesting are powering the future of IoT.
Smarter Irrigation: Saving Water with Batteryless RFID Soil Sensors
Water Is Precious. Let’s Treat It That Way. As climate change accelerates and global food demand rises, water is becoming one of the most critical—and strained—resources in agriculture. Traditional irrigation systems, even automated ones, often lack the intelligence to adapt to real-time soil conditions. The result? Overwatering, inefficiency, and unnecessary waste. At Kliskatek, we believe … Read more
Smarter Together: How Hybrid Technologies Strengthen Wireless Sensor Networks
There’s No One-Size-Fits-All in IoT In the design of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the key question is no longer “Which technology is best?” but rather “Which combination of technologies best addresses the specific constraints of the application?” At Kliskatek, we’ve found that hybrid architectures—those that integrate multiple communication protocols and energy strategies—are essential for building … Read more
Designing RFID Systems with Sensor Tags: What You Need to Know
RFID Sensor Tags ≠ Standard ID Tags RFID systems are everywhere—from inventory tracking to access control. But when you move from ID-only tags to sensor-enabled tags, the game changes. At Kliskatek, we specialize in batteryless RFID sensor tags that harvest energy from the reader’s RF field. These tags don’t just identify—they sense. And that means … Read more
Smarter Cooling: Batteryless Thermal Monitoring for Data Centers
Energy Efficiency Starts with Visibility Data centers are the backbone of digital infrastructure—but they’re also among the most energy-intensive facilities on the planet. As workloads grow, operators face mounting pressure to reduce energy consumption, lower cooling costs, and improve sustainability without compromising uptime. One of the most effective strategies? Thermal monitoring. Yet traditional solutions often … Read more
Keeping Rotors Cool: Battery-Free Sensors for Smarter Machines
Monitoring Where It Matters Most In industrial environments, temperature is often the first sign of trouble. But when it comes to rotary machines—like electric motors and generators—monitoring the most critical parts isn’t always easy. At Kliskatek, we’re helping manufacturers go beyond traditional monitoring by embedding batteryless wireless temperature sensors directly into rotating components. The result? Smarter machines, longer lifespans, and … Read more
