EnOcean was founded in 2001 as a spin-off from the prestigious research laboratory of Siemens AG, backed by a group of investors including several leading European venture capital funds: SAM Private Equity, Wellington Partners, 3i, Siemens Venture Capital, and Baytech Venture.
Advantage
The key advantage of these components is a unique combination of two advanced technologies: harvesting operating energy from the environment and the extremely low power consumption of the electronic and radio components. The net result is that EnOcean components need no batteries or external power supplies, require no routine battery replacement, and can be installed wherever needed. Maintenance-free sensors became a revolutionary milestone in the evolution of wireless sensors.
By using EnOcean technology at any stage of construction, operation, or renovation, you can take full advantage of flexible interior architecture and design, introduce new services and conveniences for the building's end users, and give designers complete freedom.
Applications
For flexibility
Switches and dimmers for lighting, heating, and alarm systems that can be easily relocated without any design, construction, or cable-laying work.
For design
Building automation devices and panels mounted on a glass partition or any other similar surface make a lasting impression. Moreover, you can confidently take on the re-engineering of historic buildings and the restoration of premises where cable laying or wall chasing is impossible and/or electromagnetic emission requirements are strict.
For safety:
Non-sparking control devices without connectors that require no power supply, for rooms that may contain gas or other flammable substances.
