Problem
Many connected devices rely on batteries, which require frequent charging or replacement, leading to maintenance overhead and potential data loss during downtime. This is especially problematic for remote monitoring applications where access for battery maintenance is difficult or costly.
Solution
Matrix Industries develops self-powered sensor solutions that eliminate the need for batteries in connected devices. Their core technology, Prometheus, harvests energy from ambient sources like body heat or temperature gradients, converting it into electricity to power sensors and communication modules. This enables continuous, uninterrupted data collection for applications such as health monitoring and perimeter security. The company's Perceptive product is a self-powered health wearable that tracks vital signs, while Proximity is a buried perimeter security system that detects and differentiates between humans, vehicles, and animals.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes healthcare providers needing continuous patient monitoring, security companies requiring reliable perimeter detection, and enterprises seeking low-maintenance asset tracking solutions.
