Ambient Light-powered, Low-carbon Tracking

Request a sample

The MTB11 Ambient Light Harvesting BLE Tag is the industry’s first mass-produced, ambient light-powered Bluetooth low energy asset tracking tag, delivering a truly sustainable, maintenance-free solution for scalable IoT deployments. Powered entirely by ambient indoor light, it harvests light energy and converts it into electricity — a form of energy harvesting — to enable continuous tracking with no batteries, no maintenance, and no downtime. The MTB11 is a BLE tag designed specifically for this energy-harvesting approach.

Energy Harvesting: A Sustainable Power Solution for IoT

  • What is Energy Harvesting?

    F6 FindMy Key Finder
    Energy harvesting is the process of capturing ambient energy from the environment and converting it into usable electrical power, enabling devices to operate wirelessly without the need for disposable batteries or wired connections. Among various forms of energy harvesting, light harvesting is particularly well-suited for indoor IoT applications, as artificial lighting is consistently present wherever people work or gather.

  • Why Light Harvesting?

    F6 FindMy Key Finder
    By transforming indoor light into a continuous power source, light harvesting eliminates the environmental burden of battery waste while reducing maintenance costs and operational downtime. This makes light-powered solutions like the MTB11 Ambient Light Harvesting BLE Tag especially practical and sustainable for large-scale deployments in warehouses, hospitals, factories, and logistics centers.

No Batteries, No Maintenance, No Downtime

MTB11 operates entirely without a battery, converting ambient indoor light into power through advanced light harvesting technology. By eliminating batteries, it removes the risks of leakage, swelling, or chemical failure — making it ideal for sensitive environments such as hospitals, warehouses, laboratories, or food storage.
No battery also means no routine maintenance or costly replacements. Devices can be deployed at scale for years without service interruptions, significantly lowering total cost of ownership. At the same time, eliminating disposable batteries helps reduce electronic waste, supporting corporate sustainability goals and stricter environmental regulations.

Energy Harvesting & Storage

Powered by indoor light, MTB11 stores surplus energy in itself, ensuring stable and reliable operation even during periods of low light or complete darkness. This energy buffer enables continuous broadcasting in real-world indoor environments, where lighting conditions may fluctuate throughout the day. Once exposed to adequate lighting again, the system automatically recharges, keeping devices operational without manual intervention.

Slim & Compact Design

Measuring close to two-thirds the size of a credit card, MTB11 features a slim, compact design that makes it easy to integrate into a variety of deployment scenarios. Whether affixed to equipment via adhesive, hung by a lanyard, or embedded into assets, its form factor is ideal for both asset tracking and wearable identification use cases, especially where space is limited.

Long Operational Life —
Solving IoT’s Biggest Challenge: Power Anxiety

With no chemical battery to degrade over time, MTB11 offers a true long-life solution — operating 10 years or more depending on lighting conditions and broadcasting configuration. This eliminates one of the largest obstacles to scaling IoT deployments: the labor and cost associated with battery replacement. Once installed, MTB11 continues functioning autonomously, providing continuous asset visibility while freeing businesses from maintenance headaches.

Heavy-Metal-Free

MTB11 contains no hazardous heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, or lead — materials commonly used in traditional batteries. This makes it inherently safer for deployment in medical, educational, or food-related environments where contamination risks must be minimized. Its fully recyclable, non-toxic design also aligns with global sustainability standards, contributing to long-term environmental responsibility.

MTB11 Operates Sustainably Through Ambient Light Energy Harvesting

MTB11 harvests energy from ambient light and stores it. Once enough power is collected, it periodically broadcasts data via BLE. If light is insufficient, the stored energy ensures delayed but continued operation. When depleted, recharging under sufficient light restores broadcasting.

FAQs

  • Wie hoch sind die Ladeanforderungen, die Dauer und die Lebensdauer des MTB11-Tags unter verschiedenen Lichtverhältnissen?

    Der MTB11 beginnt mit der Ausstrahlung nach etwa 20 Minuten bei 1000 Lux und ist nach 16 Stunden bei dieser Intensität voll aufgeladen. Wenn der Sendebetrieb für 24-48 Stunden unterbrochen wurde, kann das Gerät nach nur 30 Minuten Aufladung bei 200-300 Lux wieder in Betrieb genommen werden, ein Niveau, das auch eine kontinuierliche Funktionalität unterstützt.
