Long Life Power Platforms for Internet of Things ‑ LoLiPoP‑IoT

In LoLiPoP IoT innovative Long Life Power Platforms will be developed to enable retrofitting of wireless sensor network (WSN) modules in IoT applications. This includes the development of algorithms to perform functionalities like asset tracking and condition monitoring (for predictive maintenance). They can be used in applications such as industry 4.0, smart mobility and energy efficient buildings. 
 
The overall vision of LoLiPoP IoT is to develop Energy Harvesting/micro-power management solutions for Wireless IoT edge devices that enable long battery life sensors to be retrofitted on, in or near equipment and infrastructure. Wireless sensors are the key technology platform to enable us to collect data that will be used for anomaly detection, efficiency and performance monitoring. The trillion-sensor economy of 2025 gives us unprecedented opportunities to exploit such data bringing billions of € in savings and disruptive benefits for industry and society (reduced carbons emission, increased renewable integration, making the world a safer and better-connected place). 
 
Mid Sweden University is particularly involved in a use case on smart bearings, providing expertise and developing an energy harvesting solution that converts mechanical motion in a bearing hub unit into usable electrical energy to supply a condition monitoring system.
