Abstract

Current industries leave a big ecological footprint that needs to be reduced to preserve our resources. For it, big industries are leading new researches to move to more environmental-friendly technologies. In this paper we explain an innovative technology which has the ability to introduce edge-computing in the node in combination with energy harvesting, which allows the device to work without the need of batteries. Also, as all the computations are performed in the node, it allows the use of long-range communication protocols. To demonstrate the behavior of the technology, the paper also presents two cases of use in facilities.
