Development path from evaluation to production — Stage 1: KL-OSIRIS as a free evaluation tool for one tag at a time; Stage 2: SENSEID SDK in .NET and Python for building custom multi-tag applications with reader abstraction and sensor data decoding; Stage 3: production with custom engineering, antenna design, housing, and feasibility study. Includes a comparison of what the SDK provides versus what you build yourself, and a list of supported readers.

SENSEID SDK: Building Custom Applications in .NET and Python

2026-05-212026-05-18 by Mikel Choperena

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.

EVAL-SNFC-RHAT evaluation board specifications alongside a comparison of all three Kliskatek product lines — SenseID (EPC C1G2), SenseBLE (BLE burst) and SenseNFC (NFC) — showing that SenseNFC uses NFC field energy from smartphones, requires no fixed infrastructure, and operates at near-field range by design.

SenseNFC Evaluation Guide: Tap Your Phone to Read a Battery‑Free Sensor

Getting Started: Your First Battery‑Free Measurement with KL‑OSIRIS

2026-05-212026-04-21 by Mikel Choperena

Step-by-step guide to taking your first battery-free sensor measurement with KL-OSIRIS, Kliskatek’s free evaluation software. Connect a reader, place a tag, see live data in under 30 minutes.

Side-by-side comparison showing EPC C1G2 path (single RFID reader with same-band TX and RX, higher cost) versus BLE burst path (separate RF transmitter and BLE gateway in different bands, lower combined cost), with a section showing what stays the same: sensor, accuracy, range, and data.

The Economics of Battery‑Free: RFID Reader Cost vs RF TX + BLE RX

2026-05-212026-04-14 by Mikel Choperena

Why UHF RFID readers cost more than RF transmitters plus BLE gateways, when each option makes economic sense, and how to think about total cost of ownership for battery-free sensor deployments.

Decision framework comparing EPC C1G2 (SenseID), BLE burst (SenseBLE) and NFC (SenseNFC) across eight criteria — energy source, communication, data band, infrastructure, reader cost, read pattern, range limit and fixed infrastructure — with three decision questions at the bottom.

Choosing Your Protocol: EPC C1G2 vs BLE vs NFC for Battery‑Free Sensing

2026-05-212026-04-07 by Mikel Choperena

How to choose between EPC C1G2, BLE and NFC for battery-free sensor deployments. A practical framework based on infrastructure, cost structure and use case — not technology hype.
