Battery powered devices

All battery-powered devices need manual battery recharging. The prohibitively high cost to send personnel out into the field to recharge batteries renders the use of these trackers uncompetitive.

Efficiency needs information but because manually recharging batteries are so costly, unpowered assets go untracked and unmonitored.

The opportunity to enjoy efficiency gains is therefore out of reach.

Solar powered devices

There are a number of providers of trackers that use solar to augment their lithium batteries. When a solar powered tracker requires recharging, solar powered device go offline because a battery cannot charge and discharge at the same time.

A well-known manufacturers boasts that their solar powered trackers can fully recharge in 7 days.

When recharging, solar powered trackers cannot do what they’ve been purchased to do.

Passive Eye

• Passive Eye has a dual system that harvests 3 types of ambient energy. One part powers the circuits while the other part is always being charged. When the first part needs replenishing, it’s recharged by the second part while at the same time it’s powering the circuits.
• When the first part is recharged, the system automatically reverts to its previous configuration.
• Uninterrupted continuity of monitoring and reporting service and NO manual battery recharging.
