ZF develops innovative technologies that enable energy-efficient and sustainable use of switches. With energy harvesting, the company offers a groundbreaking solution to reduce energy consumption and maintenance effort in various application areas. The technology uses mechanical energy to generate radio signals \u2013 completely without cables or batteries.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By eliminating the need for external power supply or batteries, these solutions contribute to the reduction of CO\u2082 emissions and operating costs. Given the increasing demands for sustainable energy concepts, ZF&#8217;s energy harvesting technology enables the operation of wireless switches based on the electromechanical principle: a mechanical movement \u2014 such as pressing a switch \u2014 generates an electromagnetic field that serves as a power source for the radio signal.<\/p>\n<p>The energy harvesting technology from ZF is used in various fields:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Building automation: Wireless lighting and shading control to optimize energy consumption.<\/li>\n<li>Industry: Maintenance-free switches for machines and production systems.<\/li>\n<li>Smart Home &amp; Smart Cities: Intelligent control systems for windows, doors, and lighting.<\/li>\n<li>Mobility: Application in public transportation, automobiles, or bicycles for intelligent control solutions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By using energy harvesting technologies, businesses and households can not only reduce their operating costs but also actively contribute to environmental protection. The maintenance-free, battery-free radio switches from ZF offer a flexible and durable solution for industrial and building automation. With these technologies, ZF is setting new standards for a sustainable future and enabling intelligent, energy-independent systems for numerous application areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Auerbach.
