Generate Power from Conveyor Motion for Industrial IoT Sensors

Reducing Wiring Costs by Generating Power from Conveyor Motion

Introduction

Predictive Maintenance Challenges at the Site

In recent years, various sensors such as vibration sensors and temperature sensors have been developed for predictive maintenance of belt conveyors. 

By integrating these sensors with IoT technologies, remote monitoring and diagnostics have become increasingly common.

To reduce installation costs, signal transmission is often made wireless.

However, one challenge still remains: the power supply.

Conveyor Power Generator

Even when wireless communication is used, power cables are still required for the sensors. As a result, the full advantages of wireless monitoring cannot always be realized.

But what if the required power could be generated locally at the site?

If power could be supplied directly at the conveyor, the benefits of IoT-based monitoring could be maximized.

Our conveyor power generation solution makes this possible.

By generating electricity from the motion of long belt conveyors, significant reductions in wiring and installation costs can be achieved.

What is a Conveyor Power Generator?

Conveyor Power Generator is a compact generator that converts the mechanical energy of the moving conveyor belt into electrical power.

It provides a reliable local power source for auxiliary equipment such as sensors, monitoring devices, warning lights and control units, eliminating the need for external wiring or power supplies.
