Five SenseID evaluation boards — EVAL-SID-AT (ambient temperature), EVAL-SID-CTN (contact temperature), EVAL-SID-RHAT (humidity and temperature), EVAL-SID-ACC (3-axis accelerometer), and EVAL-SID-MGF (magnetometer) — each at 50 euros, compatible with commercial EPC C1G2 readers and KL-OSIRIS software.

Complete guide to the SenseID evaluation board family. Five battery-free sensor tags using EPC C1G2 — temperature, humidity, accelerometer, magnetometer and contact temperature — all at 50 € and compatible with commercial RFID readers.

Three-step workflow for KL-OSIRIS — connect hardware, launch the software, take measurements — with a list of compatible SenseID and SenseBLE evaluation boards and a summary of what you get in 30 minutes.

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.

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.

Diagram showing one shared sensing core at the top branching into three protocol paths — SenseID (EPC C1G2), SenseBLE (BLE burst) and SenseNFC (NFC) — each with different infrastructure requirements but identical sensing capabilities.

SenseID, SenseBLE and SenseNFC use the same battery-free sensors. The difference is the communication protocol and the infrastructure you need. Here’s how to choose.

“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.
