A Smart Sensor Case Study
''Rompa understood something many manufacturers don’t: every major deployment starts with a proof of concept. They were willing to help us nurture those early opportunities while already having the capability to manufacture millions of units when those programs succeed. That aligns perfectly with how we bring the Powercast EDGE platform to market.'' Charles Greene, PhD, Chief Operating & Technical Officer, Powercast

From 500 Units to Millions: How Rompa Helps Powercast Bring the Powercast EDGE Vision to Market
Rompa’s product industrialization and design for manufacturing skills help Powercast make Physical AI possible
How do you move from 500 proof of concept units to scalable production of millions of connected sensors that make Physical AI possible?
As Artificial Intelligence expands into the physical world, organizations are deploying more sensors than ever before to monitor equipment, track assets, optimize buildings, and automate industrial processes. In this case study, wireless power specialist Powercast explains how they partnered with Rompa to produce their first batch of battery-free, Bluetooth Low Energy temperature and humidity sensor tags.
The flexible PCBA tags are helping Powercast to demonstrate how low-power radio frequency energy can support wireless sensor networks without plugs, charging docks or regular battery replacement.
