The company’s new Active Sensor Tag collects data from a range of sensors (temperature, humidity, light, pressure and 6-axis accelerometer) which is processed and stored on local memory. A selection of wireless protocols (NFC, UHF RFID, BLE, Sigfox and LoRaWAN) then provide wireless data recovery. The solution offers a digital connected solution, with minimal environmental impact, for wearable, medical, IoT; and Industry 4.0 applications.
BeFC is a university spinoff that has developed a series of breakthrough innovations allowing the use of enzymes with carbon paper electrodes to generate energy through biocatalysis. - Dr. Jules HAMMOND.
The result of decades of pioneering research into bioenzymatic processes and properties of paper materials, the intellectual property is protected by a strong international patent portfolio. BeFC is located in the heart of the Alps, Grenoble, with both R&D and prototyping facilities.
Since its creation in 2020, BeFC has raised 5 M€ of investment, and is now developing the next generation of connected devices with our forward-thinking partners for multiple market sectors including IoT, logistics, medical, agriculture, and smart packaging.
This year’s CES Innovation Awards program received over 1800 submissions. The announcement was made ahead of CES 2022, the world’s most influential technology event, which took place 5-8 in Las Vegas, US, and online.
The CES Innovation Awards program, owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)®, is an annual competition honouring outstanding design and engineering in 27 consumer technology product categories. An elite panel of industry expert judges, including members of the media, designers, engineers and more, reviewed submissions based on innovation, engineering and functionality, aesthetic and design.
Together, power the future with nature. ©
