Ultra Low Power Smart Shelves System

#HIGH TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT #Nordic semiconductor #STMicroelectronics

Smart electronic device for distance measurement with integrated sensor.

The system is installed directly on the target device and communicates via Bluetooth v5.4 using PAwR technology for data transfer. This system revolutionizes sensor monitoring, improving operational efficiency and performance of the machinery incorporating it.

The device enables distance measurement with an integrated sensor, ideal for item counting. The 2BiTS board is designed for retail customers with ultra-low power consumption: it allows sensor monitoring and communicates data via Bluetooth v5.4 (using PAwR technology) to a 2BiTS gateway.

Key Features

Integrated Distance Sensor

Precise distance measurement for real-time item counting. Ideal for retail, logistics and industrial applications.

Onboard Accelerometer

Intelligently detects movements and state changes, allowing the device to activate only when needed and maximize energy efficiency.

PAwR Technology

Thanks to BLE v5.4 and PAwR (Periodic Advertising with Responses), the device transmits data only when necessary with minimal overhead.

2BiTS USB Gateway

Direct USB connection to your management system for data collection and processing. Simple and integrated monitoring.

Ultra Low Power — The Competitive Advantage

The combination of accelerometer for intelligent wake-up and PAwR for efficient communication creates an extremely low-power system. The device remains in deep sleep until the accelerometer detects movement, then transmits data via PAwR with minimal overhead. The result is a battery life of several years, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring continuous operation.
