With its potential to create sustainable energy from biodegradable materials for a wide range of products and industries, BeFC was selected to participate in the annual CENSIS Tech Summit 2022. On September 29, 2022, BeFC was invited to present its organic, battery alternative, within the context of the Internet of Things (IoTs). Dr. Berthuel, BeFC co-founder & CPO, was one of the keynote speakers of the main discussion panel. Dr. Jules Hammond, BeFC CEO and Co-founder also attended the event to explain how BeFC is delivering an environmentally friendly, optimized solution for IoTs.
This yearly Tech Summit was organized by CENSIS. CENSIS is an innovation center and a leader in the exploitation of sensing, imaging and IoT technologies. As the number of connected devices keeps rising exponentially, nearly every kind of business you can think of can benefit and improve operationally by harnessing the power of connected objects. IoT technologies can help track and analyze data that can then be used to generate information and make informed decisions, in real time. CENSIS works with private businesses and public sector organizations of all scales to implement these enabling technologies and facilitate progress. The center also plays an important role in collaborative R&D projects as well as training industrial PhDs. CENSIS is located within the University of Glasgow in the UK, and acts as an intermediary to translate and disseminate research between academia and industry.
At the end of September, International speakers and business representatives flew to Scotland to participate in the much-awaited CENSIS Tech Summit. The Tech Summit was a time to inspire, teach and connect participants, all of whom had a vested interest in the IoT sector. The event brought together people and technologies, to discover how IOT data integration, sensing solutions and imaging can now help businesses perform more effectively.
The Internet of Things – IoT, is a disruptive evolution that is completely changing how businesses and industry function. IoT creates technology 4.0 businesses. It connects computers, equipment, manufacturing, people…together, and collects data to enable accurate monitoring and forecasting. IoT can help create new business models, improve processes, identify bottlenecks, reduce inventory costs and the risks of accidents. This connection of each component in the technology ecosystem allows businesses to make smarter and more informed decisions. In short, IoTs create futuristic factories where information flows smoothly and data circulates along the pipeline in real time, and in a clean transparent way.
During the inspiring discussion panel, Senior Scientist Dr Marie Berthuel explained how BeFC’s organic biofuel cells can benefit IoTs. BeFC, which stands for Bioenzymatic Fuel cells, has already succeeded in producing a biofuel cell of less than 1 square centimeter with an average biofuel cell of around 15 cm2. The BeFC core technology is characterized by its flexibility, and is a sustainable energy solution for a myriad of products and industries. The biofuel cell is highly adaptable, can power objects via Wifi or Bluetooth, and can optimize IoTs in various industries, with multiple applications in logistics and healthcare/medical markets. BeFC’s miniature battery is unique: it is able to meet, and sometimes exceed the needs of industry, it can do this sustainably, and it can do this cost-effectively.
