Your datacenter runs on thousands of batteries.
Every temperature, airflow, and leak sensor depends on a battery that will fail, require replacement, and create operational overhead. The WaveHarvester removes that dependency by using the vibration your infrastructure already produces.
Battery maintenance is not a line item. It is a hidden system.
It lives in:
Technician hours
Maintenance planning
Access coordination
Operational risk
Facility type | Racks | Sensors | Annual battery cost | 10-year cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Hyperscale campus | 10,000 | 80,000 | EUR 475,000 | EUR 4,750,000 |
Large enterprise | 2,000 | 16,000 | EUR 95,000 | EUR 950,000 |
Medium datacenter | 500 | 4,000 | EUR 23,750 | EUR 237,500 |
Edge / Small colo | 100 | 800 | EUR 4,750 | EUR 47,500 |
A dead sensor is not a minor issue. It is a blind spot.
In an environment where uptime is critical, missing data creates risk:
Undetected temperature spikes
Leading to localized cooling failure and hardware damage.
Airflow imbalance going unnoticed
Reducing overall PUE efficiency and increasing energy waste.
Delayed incident response
The cost of failure is not the battery. It is the consequence.
Why this problem is accelerating
Sensor density is increasing across all datacenters. AI workloads drive higher rack densities, which increases cooling demand and system complexity.
More sensors means more batteries means more maintenance means more risk.
The problem is already growing. Doing nothing increases cost every year.
The vibration environment your datacenter already has
HVAC and CRAC/CRAH units
continuous vibrations at 25-60 Hz
Server cooling fans
60-200 Hz, especially in high-density AI/GPU racks (10-140 kW)
Raised floors and structural elements
broadband mechanical energy from plant rooms
Acoustic energy
datacenter noise levels of 70-80 dBA provide supplementary input
The trend toward higher rack densities for AI workloads amplifies this advantage. More compute power means more cooling, more cooling means more vibration, more vibration means more harvested energy. The business case strengthens with every rack density increase.
Every battery you eliminate is a battery that does not enter the waste stream
Facility | Batteries/year | CO2 saved/year | CO2 saved/10 years |
|---|---|---|---|
10,000 racks | 20,000 | 1,200 kg | 12,000 kg |
2,000 racks | 4,000 | 240 kg | 2,400 kg |
500 racks | 1,000 | 60 kg | 600 kg |
100 racks | 200 | 12 kg | 120 kg |
Prove battery-free operation in your environment
We do not run experiments. We validate outcomes.
Intake (Free)
We assess your facility remotely and determine fit.
Measurement
We map vibration profiles and identify optimal placement.
Performance pilot
We deploy WaveHarvester units alongside your sensors and validate continuous operation.
Outcome
Within 90 days, we prove whether your sensors can operate without batteries in your environment.
If performance thresholds are not met, the pilot is partially refunded.
