Battery-free AoA tag cuts costs and downtime in industrial tracking

inVirtus Technologies has launched the EosFlex Beacon. Developed in collaboration with Epishine, EosFlex combines AoA positioning with a self-powered design, setting a new standard for sustainable, precise, and maintenance-free asset tracking.

As industrial companies move away from manual tracking methods that slow operations and deliver no real-time visibility, EosFlex provides an advanced alternative. By combining BLE with AoA technology, the beacon enables exact indoor positioning in real time. This provides companies a powerful tool for accurate, automated asset tracking across large industrial sites.

Powered by Epishine's indoor solar cells, EosFlex eradicates the necessity for batteries, reducing downtime and costly maintenance while ensuring an always-on solution. With e-peas' advanced power management, the device harvests and stores energy from indoor light, enabling stable and autonomous operation for up to three weeks in complete darkness.

"An early use case with Thales has shown clear results, saving 30 minutes on part movements, up to two hours when locating equipment, and cutting vehicle and shelter setup from hours to seconds, said Raphael Pantais, CEO at invirtus Technologies. "We are proud to bring this breakthrough to market together with Epishine and e-peas."

EosFlex is available in several sizes and customisable colours, making it straightforward to adapt the beacon to a wide range of industrial environments and applications. Designed with sustainability at its core, it avoids silicon and rare earth materials while supplying reliable performance powered only by indoor light.

To experience EOSFlex with full AoA compatibility visit SIDO (17–18 September, inVirtus Booth O406 and e-peas Booth E218) and The Things Conference (23–24 September, Booth B05).
