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.
RFID sensors
“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.
