Optimum Energy Device For Wireless Sensor Node (Energy Storage Innovations USA 2016)

Number of sensor nodes are needed for IoT in order to collect various information.

Murata's small energy device(UMA series) has optimum characteristics for energy

harvesting compare to other exisiting storage devices such as supercapacitors or

Li-ion batteries. It enables high efficient and maintenance-free sensor node in small space.

On exhibit will be the UMA series of small energy devices that are tough, long-life, and capable of fast charging and discharging. Two types will be available, laminate-type and cylinder-type, to suit specific application requirements. Their use, combined with energy harvesting, in the implementation of maintenance-free sensor nodes, will be featured.
