MEMSYS
MEMSYS is a Dutch startup founded as a spin-off from the Delft University of Technology. It is our mission to develop the technologies and applications for self-powered devices. In our vision energy harvesting will become a platform to enable thousands of IoT products. Everything that moves or vibrates contains kinetic energy. Motion energy harvesters can extract this energy and use it to recharge batteries. In many low-power applications this can result in self-sustaining systems that never run out of power. At MEMSYS we have the technology and know-how to develop systems that can efficiently and reliably extract energy from the vibrations of moving assets. We’re currently developing a product for the railway sector. Our technology enables our self-powered sensors to automatically and reliably monitor defects such as flat spots or thermal overload.
