Autonomous Industrial Sensors

2015 / Confidential

Industrial IoT is rapidly growing to surpass Consumer IoT

Cisco estimates that by 2020 there will be 50 billion connected devices that will transform cities and homes, reducing operation and energy costs.

According to Cisco, over the next 4 years, IoT data traffic is estimated to surpass Connected Things.

By 2020, there will be 50 billion connected devices, and the amount of data traffic these connected devices will create is increasingly greater.

Industrial companies face underlining challenges with IoT implementations

PowerSensors are powered by batteries that need to be replaced or that degrade after too many charge cycles.

ConnectivitySensors require connectivity to provide any real value because they are “dumb”.

ComputingSensors are not programmable to perform any meaningful computations individually or collectively.

MaintenanceMaintenance is required for large-scale and out-of-range deployments

Network SaturationM2M hardware and services are being created to allow every sensor to connect to the internet.

Cloud dependenceCloud services are required to perform the heavy-lifting for dumb data that is collected.

Edyza makes industrial IoT more feasible by overcoming these challenges

Edyza is creating the next generation autonomous sensors that enable IoT applications previously considered impossible due to power, connectivity, and computing requirements.

PowerAmbient energy harvesting through solar, kinetic, radio, or thermal with power stored in supercapacitors

ConnectivitySmart mesh network among sensors that optimize for energy and shared computing with gateways that connect to the cloud

ComputingVirtual machines for the operation of apps and third-party SDKs while providing deep learning and neural networking capabilities

Edyza’s Sensors solve all three challenges at once to create a truly unique sensor platform

• Deploy and Forget• Self calibration• Self Test• Ambient Energy Harvesting

• Mesh Network• Distribute connectivity and computing• Unlimited wireless range without SIM cards

• Over The Air App Updates• Multiple apps

Power

Current power options are limiting the way sensors are used in industrial IoT

Replaceable Batteries Rechargeable Batteries A/C or D/C power

Replaceable batteries have limited lifespans if coupled with computing capabilities.

Rechargeable batteries have degradation issues and do not have large capacities.

Certain sensors with computation or connectivity requirements have a traditional power source.

Edyza sensors harvest ambient energy and store power in supercapacitors

Photovoltaic (Solar)

Radio Frequency

Kinetic (Vibration)

ThermalSupercapacitor

Processor

• Hardware floating point units allow energy-efficient computation

• Machine learning to optimize for available power (intake + storage)

• Supercapacitors store energy between electrostatic force allowing millions of charge cycles without degradation

• Store excess power for low ambient energy periods

Connectivity

Industrial IoT cannot rely on the cloud for critical real-time applications due to a variety of factors

• Power outages, broken links, bandwidth constrains and latency limit the cloud’s relevance in industrial IoT

• The unavailability of the cloud can cause serious failures in systems

• Fog computing allows real-time applications without requiring the cloud for computation

• Computation is performed within the edge network of gateways, sensors, and actuators

Edyza’s intelligent mesh networking enables sensor networks to perform critical functions without the cloud

Auto-switching between ANT+ and BLE to connect to other sensors, gateways and even smart phones

Mesh network allows our sensors to have unlimited range without needing a SIM card on every sensor

Our patent-pending mesh algorithm balance the utilization of any individual relay path thereby improving network reliability

Our SDK can run on any third-party gateway allowing retrofitting our sensor solution with existing infrastructure

Computing

Massive amounts of “dumb” data is being collected by industrial IoT• Colossal amounts of data are transferred to the cloud for computation

which could otherwise be done on the local network itself

• Various computations can occur on the devices themselves, such as aggregation, pattern recognition, and even predictions

Edyza sensors have virtual machines to allow for the loading of industrial fog computing “apps”

Every sensor has a Python virtual machine that can run industry-specific applications

With its over-the-air (OTA) capability, Edyza can deploy and update applications on every sensor

Our apps can integrate directly with cloud partners such as AWS IoT, IBM BlueMix’s NodeRed, and Google TensorFlow to leverage deep learning capabilities

Plant Factory Market

WinterGreen Research: Vertical Farming, Plant Factory Market Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2014 to 2020

Pilot for agriculture-focused sensors is Freight Farms (backed by Spark Capital)Freight Farms is building farms inside shipping containers.

Edyza is providing sensors that harvest energy from the fluorescent lights within the shipping containers and collect temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and CO2.

The partnership will entail building proprietary apps that are loaded onto these sensors built for Freight Farms and then licensed to any other green houses and plant factories.

Edyza “LadyBug” for plant factories is our first pilot sensor
