Enabling Indoor asset tracking with real ROI results using light energy harvesting
summary
Case study shows an indoor asset tracking system that eliminates battery replacements by combining roll‑to‑roll indoor photovoltaics, efficient PMICs and small storage elements, and claims a measurable ROI after accounting for labor (about $25 per battery swap) and lifecycle costs versus cheaper battery tags. Deployed examples report 30→90% schedule adherence improvements, devices run autonomously with ~200 lux for 8 hours on a 10 cm² cell, and PV aging and manufacturability are discussed as practical constraints.
