Energy Harvesting: A Sustainable Power Solution for IoT
-
What is Energy Harvesting?
Energy harvesting is the process of capturing ambient energy from the environment and converting it into usable electrical power, enabling devices to operate wirelessly without the need for disposable batteries or wired connections. Among various forms of energy harvesting, light harvesting is particularly well-suited for indoor IoT applications, as artificial lighting is consistently present wherever people work or gather. -
Why Light Harvesting?
By transforming indoor light into a continuous power source, light harvesting eliminates the environmental burden of battery waste while reducing maintenance costs and operational downtime. This makes light-powered solutions like the MTB11 Ambient Light Harvesting BLE Tag especially practical and sustainable for large-scale deployments in warehouses, hospitals, factories, and logistics centers.
No Batteries, No Maintenance, No Downtime
MTB11 operates entirely without a battery, converting ambient indoor light into power through advanced light harvesting technology. By eliminating batteries, it removes the risks of leakage, swelling, or chemical failure — making it ideal for sensitive environments such as hospitals, warehouses, laboratories, or food storage.
No battery also means no routine maintenance or costly replacements. Devices can be deployed at scale for years without service interruptions, significantly lowering total cost of ownership. At the same time, eliminating disposable batteries helps reduce electronic waste, supporting corporate sustainability goals and stricter environmental regulations.
Energy Harvesting & Storage
Powered by indoor light, MTB11 stores surplus energy in itself, ensuring stable and reliable operation even during periods of low light or complete darkness. This energy buffer enables continuous broadcasting in real-world indoor environments, where lighting conditions may fluctuate throughout the day. Once exposed to adequate lighting again, the system automatically recharges, keeping devices operational without manual intervention.
Slim & Compact Design
Measuring close to two-thirds the size of a credit card, MTB11 features a slim, compact design that makes it easy to integrate into a variety of deployment scenarios. Whether affixed to equipment via adhesive, hung by a lanyard, or embedded into assets, its form factor is ideal for both asset tracking and wearable identification use cases, especially where space is limited.
Long Operational Life —
Solving IoT’s Biggest Challenge: Power Anxiety
With no chemical battery to degrade over time, MTB11 offers a true long-life solution — operating 10 years or more depending on lighting conditions and broadcasting configuration. This eliminates one of the largest obstacles to scaling IoT deployments: the labor and cost associated with battery replacement. Once installed, MTB11 continues functioning autonomously, providing continuous asset visibility while freeing businesses from maintenance headaches.
Heavy-Metal-Free
MTB11 contains no hazardous heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, or lead — materials commonly used in traditional batteries. This makes it inherently safer for deployment in medical, educational, or food-related environments where contamination risks must be minimized. Its fully recyclable, non-toxic design also aligns with global sustainability standards, contributing to long-term environmental responsibility.
MTB11 Operates Sustainably Through Ambient Light Energy Harvesting
MTB11 harvests energy from ambient light and stores it. Once enough power is collected, it periodically broadcasts data via BLE. If light is insufficient, the stored energy ensures delayed but continued operation. When depleted, recharging under sufficient light restores broadcasting.

FAQs
- How do I activate and restart the MTB11 Ambient Light Harvesting Tag?The MTB11 tag is self-powered via ambient light harvesting and requires no manual switch. For first-time activation, place the tag under intense light (e.g., 1000 Lux direct sunlight) for at least 20 minutes.
- What are the charging requirements, durations, and operational lifespans for the MTB11 tag under various lighting conditions?The MTB11 begins broadcasting after approximately 20 minutes of exposure to 1000 lux and achieves a full charge after 16 hours at this intensity. If broadcasting has ceased for 24–48 hours, the device can resume operation with just 30 minutes of charging at 200–300 lux, a level that also supports continuous functionality.
