Energous Corporation (NASDAQ: WATT) has shipped its first orders of the 2W PowerBridge transmitter system to a Fortune 100 technology company. The system will enhance reverse logistics operations at the company’s distribution centers by providing always-on, advanced asset tracking capabilities through wireless power networks (WPNs).
Optimizing Reverse Logistics with IoT and Wireless Power
Reverse logistics, which includes recycling, returns management, and refurbishment, is essential to supply chain management. Energous’ 2W PowerBridge system supports this by offering continuous over-the-air wireless power and real-time data collection for Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled devices. This helps companies streamline reverse logistics processes, enabling them to proactively manage operations, plan routes efficiently, and address potential issues before they occur.
Increased Efficiency with 99% Asset Visibility
The 2W PowerBridge system features dual-band, dual-polarization antennas, which enable the transmission of higher radiated power—up to 8W Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP). This ensures up to 99% visibility of connected devices, leading to improved decision-making, better traceability, and reduced waste. Such precision significantly enhances supply chain sustainability and operational efficiency.
A Game-Changer for Supply Chain Management
Mallorie Burak, Interim Principal Executive Officer and CFO of Energous Wireless Power Solutions, stated that the 2W PowerBridge transmitter is transformative for companies managing complex global supply chains. With real-time access to asset locations and no need for batteries, cables, or wires, the system improves efficiency from origin to the last mile, reducing operational losses and improving overall supply chain management.
Energous continues to advance wireless power technology to address evolving supply chain demands across multiple industries.
