Vibration energy harvesting for battery‑free wireless sensors
The WaveHarvester is a vibration energy harvesting module that powers battery‑free wireless sensors. Instead of relying on replaceable batteries, it converts machine vibrations into stable energy for long‑life industrial IoT monitoring.
From vibration energy harvesting to smart analytics
The WaveHarvester energy layer performs five stages to turn vibration into usable power for sensors and data.
00
Harvest
Captures vibration from a fan, motor, pump, compressor or other moving asset.
01
Convert
Transforms that vibration into electrical energy.
02
Store
Buffers the energy between measurements and transmissions.
03
Regulate
Delivers stable, usable power to the sensor.
04
Manage
Monitors available energy and helps match sensor activity to the energy budget.
Machine vibration → WaveHarvester → energy management → wireless sensor → existing platform.
POWER MANAGEMENT
Energy‑aware sensing means matching each wireless sensor to the vibration energy available at its location.
The result: more reliable data, fewer site visits and industrial IoT power solutions that scale without battery maintenance.
04 / STRATEGIC UPSIDE
Keep the sensor. Remove the battery.
LV Energy is not building another closed predictive maintenance platform. Sensor manufacturers already provide the sensing hardware, connectivity, analytics and maintenance software.
LV Energy adds the autonomous energy layer.
This means an existing sensor can potentially become battery-free without replacing the gateway, dashboard or maintenance workflow around it.
Keep the sensor. Keep the platform. Remove the battery.
Designed for integration, not replacement
LV Energy provides:
– vibration-energy harvesting;
– power conversion and storage;
– regulated sensor power;
– energy-management firmware;
– energy-health data;
– OEM integration support.
Our partners provide:
– the sensing function;
– wireless communication;
– gateways;
– condition-monitoring analytics;
– predictive-maintenance algorithms; – maintenance workflows.
We do not compete with industrial sensor manufacturers. We help them make their existing products easier to deploy, power and maintain.
Core applications for vibration energy harvesting
Where it fits first
The first applications are low‑power, battery‑free wireless sensors in environments with consistent vibration. These are ideal sites for energy harvesting for sensors.
Data Centers
Scalable for HVAC systems and server cooling fans. Ideal for dark, climate-controlled environments.
Railway Hardware
Powers trackside monitoring by capturing vibration from rolling stock. Cuts site costs.
Heavy Manufacturing
Optimized for rotating machinery where vibration frequency varies with load demand.
OEM PARTNERSHIP MODEL
What plug‑and‑play means for OEM sensor partners
Industrial sensors use different voltages, connectors and power profiles. LV Energy provides a vibration energy harvesting layer that integrates with your existing designs, so you can offer battery‑free wireless sensors without rebuilding your core products.
