New printed energy harvesting device for smart packaging

17 November 2016

The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) has successfully completed HaRFest, a project to create a novel printed energy harvesting device, which will play an important role in the development of packaging with electronic functionality. Powered by near-field communication (NFC) technology, the device will draw energy from the user’s mobile telephone, facilitating the wider adoption of NFC-enabled printed electronic components. This technology is essential for realising the Internet of Things, a world in which smart objects sense information about their environment, process this information, and communicate with individuals or other electronic devices (News Item CPI, 24 October 2016).
