Insights
The deployment of Energous PowerBridge transmitters for a Fortune 10 retailer marks a significant advancement in supply chain management. This technology addresses critical pain points in traditional systems, such as manual tracking and information gaps. By enabling real-time inventory tracking during distribution, it promises to enhance operational efficiency and reduce errors.
The transition from 2W transmitters in grocery distribution centers to 1W transmitters for transportation applications demonstrates the scalability and versatility of Energous' wireless power network (WPN) solution. This expansion suggests growing confidence in the technology's effectiveness.
Key benefits include:
- 24/7/365 digital monitoring of transportation networks
- Proactive issue resolution in real-time
- Up to
99% visibility of tracked assets - Potential for reduced carbon footprint and food waste
While promising, the actual impact on the retailer's bottom line and Energous' revenue remains to be seen. Investors should monitor for concrete metrics on efficiency gains and subsequent orders to gauge long-term value.
Energous' PowerBridge transmitter deployment represents a significant milestone in the practical application of over-the-air (OTA) wireless power for IoT devices in commercial settings. The technology's ability to provide continuous power to IoT sensors and tags addresses a critical challenge in large-scale IoT implementations: battery life and maintenance.
Key technological advantages include:
- Ruggedized, weatherproof design suitable for harsh transportation environments
- Scalability from 2W to 1W transmitters, adapting to different use cases
- Always-on, automated energy flow optimizing IoT device performance
This deployment could serve as a proof of concept for other potential customers in retail and logistics, potentially opening up new market opportunities for Energous. However, the company faces competition from other wireless charging technologies and must demonstrate clear ROI to drive widespread adoption.
Investors should watch for metrics on power efficiency, device longevity and system reliability in real-world conditions to assess the technology's long-term viability and market potential.
In legacy supply chain management systems, data is typically tracked manually with bar code scanners or paper documents, leading to information gaps and errors. As more retailers use Internet of Things (IoT) enabled devices such as scanners and tags to track products, they can create smart supply chains which improve efficiency, customer service, and profitability. Energous PowerBridge transmitter systems provide a WPN that delivers an always-on, OTA, automated energy flow that optimizes IoT device performance, enabling the retailer to digitally monitor their transportation network 24/7/365. As a result, distribution becomes more efficient, and they can proactively address shipment issues, whether on the road or in a warehouse, in real time.
“This shipment of our 1W transmitters not only establishes the foundation for a new WPN that will enhance this retailer’s transportation network visibility and control, but also strengthens our existing relationship with them, given their use of our 2W transmitters for grocery distribution optimization,” said Mallorie Burak, Interim Principal Executive Officer and CFO, Energous Wireless Power Solutions. “Our wireless power solutions are safe and cost-effective, providing companies with operational infrastructures that are always on, enabling a constant stream of real-time data, and delivering up to 99 percent visibility of all tracked assets and inventory, from the warehouse to the store.
“Energous PowerBridge transmitters are also ecofriendly. As we all work toward a more sustainable future, Energous-powered WPNs will help retailers reduce the carbon footprint of their distribution and reduce food waste, while helping ensure their customers receive the freshest possible food.”
