Autonomous Sensor Deployment Project

 

Ilika plc (AIM: IKA), the advanced solid-state battery technology company, announces it has entered into a demonstration project to deploy its Stereaxâ M250 batteries to power an autonomous wireless sensor for environmental sensing and asset tracking.

 

Ilika will receive c. €260,000, which will cover all its costs from Horizon 2020, which is the European Commission's research and innovation programme. In this project Ilika will collaborate with four commercial partners, Lightricity (PV cells), e-peas (power management), Microdul and Penta (sensors) and three research organisations, IMEC, CERTH and Zurich University.

 

The project objective is to use a combination of Stereaxâ batteries and photovoltaic cells to power a smart sensing card with multi-sensing capabilities covering imaging, CO2 sensing and temperature measurement. In addition, the card will be designed with security features to ensure low vulnerability, user and device authentication, intrusion prevention and detection and overall enhanced cyber-secure operation. The device will be designed for deployment in smart cities (air quality management), smart homes (indoor air quality and comfort), smart work places (indoor comfort, occupancy and productivity) and industrial environments (HSE monitoring during inspection activities).

 

Graeme Purdy, Ilika CEO, stated: "This is a great opportunity for Ilika to work with other commercial organisations from the Internet of Things ecosystem in Europe with a view to bringing its Stereax® M250 batteries to market. The sensor applications have been carefully selected to demonstrate the lower total cost of ownership achievable by using a combination of energy harvesting from a photovoltaic cell in conjunction with a Stereaxâ M250 battery."
