“This acquisition brings us, our partners, and our customers one step closer to a carbon-neutral future,” said EnOcean CEO Raoul Wijgergangs. “Our combined solution, including the SmartServer IoT and IoT Access Protocol (IAP) software, enables customers to leverage existing data that is already being generated in their buildings, machines, or other devices for a wide range of applications. This data can be augmented by additional energy harvesting and traditional sensors as needed to provide a comprehensive view. The solution enables understanding, control, interaction and optimization of buildings and devices. Insights gained from sensor data can be applied directly to drive actions to improve efficiency.”

The combination of experience in software, sensing, energy and communications technologies could bridge the gap between existing systems and the cloud in an open and standardized way. “I see tremendous opportunities in merging the channels of our two companies,” added Apurba Pradhan, business unit director, industrial edge computing, at Renesas. “Together, we’re building on our technologies to provide next-generation solutions. We’re excited about this shared journey on which we provide a seamless solution that paves the way for sustainable, maintenance-free and cost-effective IoT solutions.”
