Garbage in, garbage out goes the adage. Even the greatest AI is no good if its not fed high quality data. And what better way to collect high quality data than eyes and ears to the ground? i.e. sensors. And the best kind of sensors? Sensors that are not fussy - sensors that power themselves and don't require a ton of maintenance and battery replacements.

The EU has tightened its battery regulations. It has released new guidelines which require manufacturers to use a significantly higher proportion of recycled minerals (such as Cobalt, Lithium etc) in their batteries. This is massive. This is all set to change the landscape of the IoT world. The increase in cost might be tolerable to some but the already tenuous proposition of using battery-powered IoT might just become a tad bit too painful to stick around with for others. Now more than ever, batteryless IoT seems an even more compelling option. Not only do you get to avoid the hassle of compliance and extra $$$ with batteryless, but you also get to sidestep the battery problem altogether - no maintenance, no hatches, no replacements or recycling worries. As we inch closer to 2030, these regulations are only poised to get more stringent. Batteryless is the only way forward for IoT. #greentech #greenIoT #Cleanenergy #sustainabletech #sustainability #EU #batteriesnotincluded

We've all heard about how IoT is transforming agriculture, health, industry and consumer electronics - rendering them smart and unlocking tons of efficiency gains in the process. But not many of us know that the defense industry has been a huge user of #batteryless IoT technologies - employing them in various battlefield use-cases. In our latest post, we go over some of the more popular ways in which IoT is deployed in battlefield settings and also explore why batteries may not be the ideal power solution for the #InternetofMilitaryThings https://lnkd.in/gWDVkJB8 #Energyharvesting #Greentech #Military #Defense #IoMT #Internetofmilitarythings #IoT #InternetofThings

Our ONiO.zero chip chewed through the ULPMARK-CM benchmark, and let’s just say… we like the taste of energy efficiency. No surprise there. 😉 But what really has us buzzing? We just put RISC-V (RISC-V International) at the top for energy efficiency. And here’s the best part: We can run that benchmark all day long… on a solar cell. ☀️ A huge shoutout to our partners who helped make this possible: imec, TSMC, Cadence Design Systems, and SOFICS. Together, we’re not just beating energy benchmarks, we’re setting the standard for ultra-low power operation! 👉 https://lnkd.in/dDUxVMpf

Today's consumer is conscientious. The numbers prove it. A recent study by Mckinsey showed that today's consumers are willing to go the extra mile to make sure their purchasing decisions are aligned with their environmental concerns. The study showed that consumers were willing to pay upto 10% more for a more environmentally sustainable alternative! This flies in the face of the excuses that companies hid behind for the longest time that they aren't able to make more environmentally friendly products because there wasn't enough demand for them. Well, now more than ever, the demand's there! And consumers are not just saying this - they're literally putting their money where their mouths are! https://lnkd.in/gBwpiGuZ.

The EU changed the regulatory landscape earlier this year with its new battery regulations - the game is all set to change for products powered by coin cells, AAA's and other small batteries. This is great news in terms of sustainability but it does beg the question - if not coin cells and AAAs, what's going to power our devices? Fret not - that's where ONiO comes in! Our batteryless microcontrollers are 100% self-powered - i.e. they run on ambient energy harvested from the environment - RF energy, solar, light - you name it! This means - no batteries, no replacements, no recycling hassles and definitely no compliance headaches! Imagine your products powering themselves directly from the environment and not just meeting sustainability goals - but smashing them! That's right! Curious how we can make this work for your products? Let’s chat! 🌍🔋 #BatteryFree #Sustainability #GreenTech #BatterylessIoT #sustainabletech #gogreen #EU #nobatteriesincluded https://lnkd.in/gF-uzCGR

What does 135 Coremark/mJ mean for ONiO.zero? It means that ONiO.zero can execute 135 operations for every millijoule of energy consumed! That’s not just fast—it’s incredibly energy-efficient. Here’s why it matters: 👉 More computing work done with less energy 👉 Perfect for IoT applications where energy harvesting is key 👉 A self-sustaining chip powered by ambient energy — no batteries or external power needed We’re not just tweaking the game here – we’re changing the whole thing.

Light on 💡 , light off—all thanks to ONiO.zero and an Exeger solar cell! ⚡ In this snappy demo, we’re showing off our wireless microcontroller powered purely by light. No batteries, just clean energy. 🌞 Here’s the kicker… something BIG is brewing in the ONiO lab. This button? Just the start. 👀

Earlier this week, the ENLIGHTENED consortium gathered in Linköping, Sweden for the official project kick-off meeting. This marks the start of a three-year journey funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe programme. 🇪🇺 ENLIGHTENED aims to increase the potential of PV technology for low-power, low-light applications by demonstrating the viability of OPV-based LEH technology to enable sustainable, self-sufficient electronics and reduce reliance on disposable batteries. 🔋 The project brings together partners across Europe that will explore both scientific advancements in organic solar cells and the commercial potential of flexible hybrid electronics, with the ultimate goal of creating sustainable IoT products.

At ONiO, we're proudly heterodox. Undermining orthodoxy is what we're about. It's in our DNA. We're the kind of people that don't like limits, conditions and restrictions. We take our cues from mother nature - there is a superior order to the seeming chaos of rainforest that no manicured garden can ever hope to match. Nature - our eternal muse - in her billions of manifestations courts a magical seamlessness that astounds just as much as it baffles. A simplicity that belies the endlessly intricate complexity it contains. Our batteryless MCU - ONiO.zero - is an attempt to capture this very ethos. An ode to the wild ways of nature.
