Work we can talk about
Much of what we build stays under NDA. These clients have let us name them, and the rest we describe without names.
Software that runs a production line
Client · KW DampingTest machines in production
KW Damping’s production test machines run on measurement and control software we build and maintain. The machines are theirs; the measurement is ours.
A sensor where no cable can reach
Client · ZAYERPower and data without cables
ZAYER, a manufacturer of CNC milling machines and machining centers, wanted to know whether a sensor inside the machine could be powered and read without cables. Together with two partners, we built a working demonstrator that carried both power and data across the part.
Silicon design and custom ATE
An aerospace tier-1 qualified and flew silicon our team designed. A leading tyre manufacturer deployed over 10,000 sensor tags built on it, in elite competition.
Our first test platform was for our own chip, the ROCKY100. Then a chip designer came to us for the one around their own silicon: sockets, currents, voltages and RF.
Our own research, publicly funded
Research we lead with the support of public programmes, on problems our clients meet sooner or later.
KOTENSE
Two new battery-free sensor nodes for industry: one that harvests a radio signal and reports over Bluetooth Low Energy, for longer range with low-cost readers, and one with another protocol for industrial settings where Bluetooth is not the right fit. Both validated in the lab.

KOTENSE-HV
Sealed high-voltage polymer insulators are inspected by hand, from time to time, and nothing watches them in between. We are building a battery-free wireless system to monitor them from the inside, for the life of the insulator and with no maintenance.
SPRI · QB-2026/00385 · June 2026 to May 2027
KoBat
The emergency batteries on board an aircraft are sealed, and you cannot put a cell inside the enclosure to watch a cell. KoBat works on knowing their state wirelessly and without batteries. What can be measured depends on what you need to know about the cell, and that is worth asking us about.

Publicly Funded R&D Projects
At Kliskatek, we are committed to advancing the state of the art in wireless sensing, energy harvesting, and low-power electronics. Our R&D activity is supported by public funding programmes that enable us to push the boundaries of battery-free sensor technology and bring innovative solutions closer to the market.
We are grateful for the support of the institutions that make this research possible.
