Exeger’s Powerfoyle defend allows limitless battery life in growth initiatives utilizing Nordic’s Thingy:91 prototyping platform. Swedish photo voltaic cell know-how firm Exeger has developed an add-on ‘defend’ for Nordic Semiconductor’s Thingy:91 mobile IoT prototyping platform and related growth boards. The defend supplies customers with plug-and-play mild vitality harvesting capabilities for his or her product design venture.
The ‘Powerfoyle Defend’ is predicated on Exeger’s resilient and versatile photovoltaic (PV) cell materials, Powerfoyle, which might ship mild vitality harvesting of indoor or outside mild with out the necessity for direct daylight.
Information-driven energy administration optimisation
Information captured from the defend can be utilized to find out the ability administration profile of the machine, and for optimising energy administration efficiency primarily based on always altering mild situations and battery stage. This energy administration profile allows builders utilizing the Nordic Thingy:91 and appropriate growth boards to increase the ability price range of their product and construct a better and extra sustainable resolution.
Empowering app growth
Exeger additionally provides a Powerfoyle software program growth equipment (SDK) to its clients and companions, that means they’ll construct native apps to indicate the acquire and drain of their solar-powered machine beneath various mild situations.
“The Powerfoyle Defend is the results of a long run strategic partnership between Nordic and Exeger to deliver sustainable pondering to product design, eradicating ‘battery nervousness’, and in the end changing the pricey and wasteful want to interchange batteries,” says Thomas Holmberg, regional gross sales director EMEA, Nordic Semiconductor.
Self-sufficient designs with Thingy:91
Relying on the applying and the vitality consumption price range the machine is programmed to realize, the Thingy:91 and Powerfoyle Defend allows designs to be utterly self-sufficient, with no should be charged via standard means or by battery substitute.
“It is a partnership a couple of greener and smarter future, and each our corporations share the same imaginative and prescient in the case of sustainability, energy effectivity, and a related world,” says Oscar Hemberg, chief product integration officer, Exeger. “Nordic was a great companion for this initiative combining low energy connectivity with our distinctive Powerfoyle photo voltaic cell know-how and getting it into the fingers of builders constructing on the profitable Nordic Thingy platform.”
