Energous Announces New Partners to Accelerate Adoption of Over-The-Air Wireless Power Technology
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Energous Corporation (NASDAQ: WATT), a pioneer in scalable, over-the-air (OTA) wireless power networks, today announced new partnerships with Annukin, Ecobyte, and Peak Technologies to help accelerate adoption of the company’s solutions worldwide. Energous wireless power transmitters transfer electrical power over-the-air to energize IoT-enabled devices for asset and inventory tracking and management—without the need for batteries, wires, or cables.
As more companies consider Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications to better manage their supply chains, they are faced with a significant challenge: how to efficiently and effectively power the small form factor devices needed to track critical asset and inventory data (e.g., location, temperature, humidity, etc.). Energous wireless power transmitters transfer electrical power over-the-air, delivering an easy-to-deploy and easy-to-maintain wireless power network for IoT applications that charges multiple, battery-free devices at any distance, at the same time.
“Annukin, Ecobyte, and Peak Technologies joining the Energous partner ecosystem represents a significant step forward in our ability to provide global solutions that address the growing need for cost effective, reliable, and consistent power for internet-connected devices and IoT applications in supply chain, retail, and healthcare settings,” said Mallorie Burak, Interim Principal Executive Officer and CFO of Energous. “Joining forces with experienced partners accelerates access to the Energous solutions that provide the fundamental building block – wireless power – to customers looking to optimize and build the warehouses of tomorrow and energize a new generation of battery-free IoT-enabled devices, from retail sensors and asset trackers to air quality monitors, motion detectors, and more.”
Annukin is an IT services and consulting partner in Latin America that specializes in IoT and smart spaces. The company recently completed a successful Proof of Concept for Energous with a Mexico-based retailer, building an Energous-powered asset tracking and management system that improved asset tracking coverage by more than 92%.
Ecobyte develops, hosts, and supports IT systems for the world of returnable packaging. The company focuses on the tracking of multi-use packaging assets in the retail, food, and manufacturing industries, developing solutions for supply chain visibility within companies or over a complete logistics chain. As an Energous System Integration Partner, Ecobyte will offer a complete end-to-end asset tracking solution to meet the growing demand for better supply chain visibility in Europe.
Peak Technologies is one of the industry’s largest providers of end-to-end technology solutions that modernize factories, optimize warehouses, and revolutionize retail experiences. The company provides consultancy on business processes, hardware, software and turn-key solutions for equipment repair, life cycle support, technology, vertical/application and business services.
