The energy harvesting RF-switches from ZF can be used in a variety of applications such as industrial and building automation, in the mobility sector or for medical technology. The tiny dimensions of the core element – the ZF Generator – enhances the use in applications with limited space.
Designed for global use, the switches provide an excellent alternative to wired or battery-powered systems. The advantages are clear: Design freedom with a maximum of flexibility, sustainability without battery disposal and a significant reduction of time and cost efforts due to the avoidance of maintenance work.
