Gaute Myklebust joins the ONiO board of advisors

OSLO, NORWAY, July 07, 2021 - At ONiO, we are committed to advancing semiconductors and championing sustainability. Much as we’d all like to live in a greener world, good intentions are simply not enough. We’re not going to build a more sustainable world unless we harness the power of our tech tools and channel them in the right way.This is exactly what we’ve been trying to do at ONiO at every step of the way -find the best ways to use the immense potential of IoT technology towards creating more positive outcomes for ourselves and our planet.That’s why we’re super pumped to announce the launch of our batteryless Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs). Excuse us for saying so ourselves, but these futuristic little things are nothing short of groundbreaking - they are 100% self-powered and need zero batteries.Here’s why that’s pretty neat - traditional shelf labels typically use two coin cells each. A typical convenience store uses about 6000 of these - that’s 12,000 coin cells regularly being dumped into oceans and landfills just from one convenience store! Scary right? That’s why we think our batteryless ESLs are revolutionary - with these labels; there’s just no question of batteries. In one fell swoop, they prevent hundreds of thousands, if not millions of batteries from ending up as toxic waste.<blockquote>At ONiO, we always knew that meaningful sustainability requires more than just talk; it's about setting tangible goals and meeting them. By offering retailers a viable and reliable batteryless option, we’re essentially doing just that - taking a decisive step towards a world with little less toxic waste! - Kjetil Meisal, CEO</blockquote>It doesn’t stop there either - because they don’t need battery replacements, these labels save retailers a whole bunch of time and money while also making for an engaging and futuristic in-store experience for the customer. Because they’re batteryless, they allow for a sleeker design which in turn slashes BOM costs.Our ESLs are built around the incredible ONiO.zero, the world’s most energy efficient batteryless microcontroller. ONiO.zero harvests ambient energy from radio waves and light. This signifies that these innovative devices will operate effectively even in low-light environments, such as the bottom store shelves, all while eliminating the inconvenience associated with battery replacement.Alright here’s more - these ESLs also integrate seamlessly with our all-inclusive gateway solution giving you full warehouse coverage.We think ONiO’s batteryless ESLs are nothing short of a landmark in sustainable tech - A no-nonsense eco-solution that actually brings value to the table for both retailers and consumers. Retailers can now enjoy a more sustainable, reliable solution, while customers benefit from real-time pricing and inventory updates. In short, what we’re trying to say is, everybody wins!For more information about ONiO's batteryless ESLs, visit onio.com or contact Pedro Guimaraes.<div class="raw-html-embed"><a href="https://youtu.be/T_9ZYJWSIlU" class="resource resource--black"> Watch the Demo Video <svg width="21" height="21" viewBox="0 0 21 21" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" class="svg">

Uniting Wireless Batteryless Microcontrollers with Eco-Friendly Supercapacitors for a Sustainable IoT Future.

ONiO is thrilled to announce we've been granted an award by the <a href="https://www.forskningsradet.no/en/">Research Council of Norway</a> for a pioneering endeavor: developing batteryless sensor systems tailored for Precision Agriculture. These innovative sensors are set to revolutionize monitoring by focusing on key soil characteristics crucial for farmers - specifically, soil moisture, temperature, and nutrient content. Our goal? A transformative leap forward in deploying expansive sensor networks that smartly bolster agricultural practices. The plan is to engineer hardware that’s both affordable and simple to install - imagine sleek, low-profile units that can be effortlessly placed and left to do their job, gathering and transmitting data over their lengthy lifespan without the need for any wires, batteries, or maintenance whatsoever.The project is expected to pave the way for way more sustainable agriculture operations&nbsp; - influencing water and nutrient management, slashing the reliance on various inputs (like water, fertilizers, chemicals, and energy) and, by extension, significantly diminishing the environmental impact, all while boosting crop yields.Leading this venture is ONiO, in collaboration with <a href="https://sensonomic.com/">Sensonomic</a> and <a href="https://web.trondelagfylke.no/mare-landbruksskole">Maere Agricultural School</a>. Our role at ONiO is to spearhead the development and execution of all hardware aspects for these novel systems, leveraging our proprietary self-powered electronics technology. Sensonomic, with their expertise in crafting algorithms and software solutions for farmers, will play a crucial role in converting raw data into practical advice for enhancing farm productivity. Meanwhile, Maere Agricultural School is set to offer its facilities as a testing ground, aiding the consortium in deploying these systems under authentic agricultural conditions, from greenhouse environments to open-field settings.This project is receiving a generous boost from the Research Council of Norway, with a grant allocation of 11.9 million NOK under the <a href="https://www.forskningsradet.no/en/call-for-proposals/2023/innovation-project/">Innovation Project for the Industrial Sector program</a>, supporting our vision of smarter, more sustainable agriculture.
