Development Of Energy Harvesting Material For TPMS Sensors (Energy Harvesting Europe 2017)

Silent sensors have started a one year project with the University of Bath

and CPI in Sedgefield to develop energy harvesting materials that will be

used for tyre monitoring sensors. This project is funded by InnovateUK. The

materials will be designed to either be embedded in the tyre or added as a

patch post manufacture. The focus will be on piezoelectric materials which

will be produced using printed electronic techniques. In parallel power

management and storage will be developed to run the sensors. The project

raises a number of challenges and we look forward to presenting the results

in April 2018.

Silent Sensors is an innovative IOT (Internet of Things) company with a focus on tyres and tyre management. We have a number of exciting opportunities covering holistic tyre lifecycle management, in particular the development of RFID tagging, sensors and energy harvesting, all of which significantly reduce the total cost of operations of a fleet of vehicles, whether they be construction equipment, trucks, busses or cars.
