Solar Powered Sensor That Could Make Predictive Maintainance More Dependable

Canada based Nanoprecise, a predictive maintainance and condition monitoring firm that uses AI and IoT technology extensively for its work, has launched what it claims is the world’s first, Zone 0 compliant^* light energy harvesting sensor, MachineDoctor^™ LUX.

According to a company release, this state-of-the-art cellular sensor addresses the pressing need for sustainable solutions. Designed to function seamlessly in both indoor and outdoor settings, the MachineDoctor LUX sensor draws power from available ambient light sources, eliminating the inconvenience of battery replacements often faced in the field, while reducing the sensor’s overall environmental footprint.

The sensor’s Smart Power Management combines light energy harvesting via self-contained solar panels, with a long life Lithium-Ion battery to ensure uninterrupted data collection even in variable to low-light conditions. Because of this proprietary dual power system, the MachineDoctor LUX is self-sustainable, boasting a lifespan of up to 10 years.

“We are thrilled to reveal the world’s first 6-in-1, e-sim, light harvesting condition monitoring sensor, as a testament to our commitment to innovation and  sustainability,” stated Sunil Vedula, Founder & CEO at Nanoprecise Sci Corp. “By offering a solution that operates off ambient light, we are not only enhancing operational efficiency, but also supporting our customers and partners in their efforts towards a greener future.”

The versatility of the Zone 0 compliant^* sensor extends beyond its energy efficiency. With cellular connectivity via e-sim and a non-intrusive installation process, Nanoprecise  hopes that the sensor will be an ideal choice for a wide range of applications. From indoor facilities to outdoor installations, the patent pending MachineDoctor LUX sensor empowers businesses to access real-time data insights without the limitations of battery dependency.
