AEInnova develops autonomous industrial monitoring devices for predictive maintenance. Its flagship device InduEye is battery-free, self-powered, and capable of edge computing for real-time vibration, thermal, and steam-trap monitoring, powered by waste heat with optional solar or wind energy. It uses LoRaWAN or NB-IoT/LTE-CAT M for communications and streams data to cloud dashboards with analytics, alarms, and environmental impact analysis. The system aims to reduce downtime and maintenance costs through non-invasive, self-sustaining monitoring. Certifications include CE and ATEX/IECEX, with FCC ongoing. The technology is deployed across sectors such as oil and gas, aluminium, steel, paper, rubber, water treatment, and energy, with customers including Repsol, Cepsa, ArcelorMittal, Enel, and others. AEInnova has been recognized as a leading EU scale-up with multiple awards and EC funding, and participates in EU R&D initiatives related to energy harvesting and high-temperature IoT.
Lightricity’s mission is to enable a scalable and sustainable IoT by providing the world’s highest efficiency light energy harvesting technology and battery free IoT devices.
Lightricity has unique indoor PV technology that is up to 6 x more efficient than the nearest commercially available competition under low light levels.
