The paper presents how 8power's work on energy harvesting technology enables a step change in sensor performance. 

The Smart Systems Integration conference, held in Cork, Ireland, on March 8 and 9, brings together a wide range of industry experts to present and discuss the integration issues of miniaturised systems when using Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), ICs and Electronic Components.

CEO of 8power, Antony Rix, said: “It’s great to be recognised as a thought leader in the field of Vibration Energy Harvesting. Certainly, as a company, we are working very hard to overcome several tough integration challenges. This work has offered us opportunities to create some new IP. Our proposed paper will discuss getting a new technology product in to the market.”
