ASCA - Autonomous Atmospheric Sensors
In October 2020, an autonomous system for monitoring atmospheric conditions was implemented at Wüst Technology's production site. This system addresses the crucial need for humidity and temperature control in precision electronics manufacturing. It employs a network of sensors powered by ASCA® Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) modules, which are optimized for energy harvesting in low-light environments. The OPV modules allow for cable and battery-free setup, simplifying installation and reducing maintenance costs while improving production quality. These flexible and lightweight modules can be seamlessly integrated into electronics using adhesive tape. This integration enhances functionality and autonomy by utilizing surrounding light energy, effectively mitigating battery-related environmental impacts. The system enables real-time monitoring and data-driven adaptation of production processes, aligning with core manufacturing goals.In October 2020, an innovative and autonomous monitoring system that tracks changes in atmospheric conditions, such as humidity and temperature, was installed at Wüst Technology on the production site. For this German, micro-precision, electronics manufacturer controlling these parameters is a major challenge. This is why, the electronic system is connected to a network of sensors that is fully powered by ASCA® Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) modules, an especially efficient energy source for low-light environments.
Since they do not require a battery or a cable, the sensors are simple and easy to install, resulting in a decrease of maintenance costs and an increase in production quality.
Thanks to ASCA® photovoltaic solutions, it is possible to recover the surrounding light energy (Energy Harvesting). It is thus possible to limit the maintenance costs related to the increased use of batteries and to limit the environmental impact, while gaining in functionality and autonomy.
