Farsens has developed wireless sensor devices that can be used without the need of batteries on the sensors. These battery-free sensor tags are based on UHF RFID technology and are able to continuously monitor and transmit data, together with the 96-bit EPC unique tag identifier, to any EPC Gen 2 standard compliant reader.

In order to allow interested users test the products, Farsens has prepared Basic and Regular Battery Free Sensor kits. The Basic kit includes three wireless battery free sensor tags of choice while the Regular kit includes ten units of the desired product. Tags on these kits come in non-protected PCB formats for custom encapsulation or embedding in non-metallic assets/materials. Both kits include a software program that displays the sensor tag data on a computer.

There are four sensor options for the Basic and Regular choices:

Battery Free Temperature Sensor (BFTS) – any kit focused on temperature monitoring includes FENIX wireless battery-less temperature sensor tags.
Battery Free Pressure Sensor (BFPS) – pressure monitoring kits include VORTEX wireless battery-less pressure sensor tags.
Batter Free Orientation Sensor (BFOS) – when the users need a kit to monitor spatial orientation of assets KINEO wireless battery free sensor tags are shipped.
Battery Free Switch Sensor (BFSS) – any kit desired to monitor the open/close status of a mechanical switch is shipped with X1 wireless battery free switches.

Farsens designs and manufactures full passive RFID sensor solutions. Their proprietary UHF RFID IC allows Farsens to develop long range solutions for asset tracking – via the unique ID – and monitoring – via the attached sensor – without the need of any battery on the tag.
