Meet the WiPr-es
Batteryless Pressure Sensor Energy from Heat, Telemetry from Pressure
WiPr-es
WiPr-es operates by converting a minimum 5°C temperature gradient between industrial process lines and the ambient air into electricity via patented 'Self-Powered' technology. Designed on the 'Plug & Forget' principle, it is the world's most efficient pressure monitoring solution, entirely eliminating battery swaps, cabling networks, and periodic maintenance costs.
Generates its own electrical power utilizing thermoelectric energy harvesting from as little as a 5°C thermal gradient. Requires no external power supply or batteries.
Requires zero post-installation maintenance, fully eliminating battery replacement operations and associated process downtime. Lowers operational expenditures.
Ensures uninterrupted data transmission across metal obstructions in harsh factory settings via BLE and LoRa protocols. Zeroes out cabling expenses.
Operates reliably in chemical-rich and humid locations with its IP68 protection class and ATEX intrinsic safety compliance.
High Expense of Cabling and Setup
Each new pressure monitoring node in industrial facilities generates high infrastructure expenses—including conduits, panel modifications, and labor—frequently reaching 3-4 times the cost of the sensor. WiPr-es zeroes out these expenses.
Operational Burden of Battery Swaps
Executing periodic battery replacements across facilities with thousands of sensors imposes a massive operational load. WiPr-es introduces the era of 'maintenance-free telemetry' through its batteryless architecture.
Inaccessible and Hazardous Areas
On moving machinery or in hazardous zones where cabling is impossible, WiPr-es continues to stream telemetry autonomously by drawing power from surface heat.
Thermoelectric Power Conversion
WiPr-es harvests its own electricity from hot pipelines via advanced TEG (Thermoelectric Generator) technology exploiting Seebeck effects. It guarantees operational continuity by delivering 184 μW of power even at low ΔT values.
Flexible Communication Protocols
Collected data is streamed wirelessly over BLE or LoRa protocols. LoRa technology provides a highly reliable factory-floor wireless coverage range of up to 100 meters, through heavy steel density.
Real-Time Decision Support
Monitor pressure fluctuations instantly with a fast 500ms refresh rate. Detect pressure and tank-level changes on your SCADA or dashboard before they occur, preventing production losses.
Establish the plant of the future today with Industry 4.0 compliant, carbon-neutral, and maintenance-free telemetry.

Frequently Asked Questions
WiPr-es incorporates an advanced thermoelectric generator (TEG) utilizing Seebeck effects. It directly converts the existing temperature gradient (ΔT ≥ 5°C) between the hot pipeline or machinery surface and the ambient air into electrical energy, generating its own power without batteries.
Our sensor features an extremely efficient power management system. If the temperature difference falls below the critical threshold, it dynamically reduces the transmission frequency to save power. If your process runs completely isothermal, you can choose the battery-powered WiPr-es B model from the same family.
Traditional battery-powered sensors demand periodic battery swaps every 1-2 years, generating labor costs, production downtime, and waste battery disposal issues. WiPr-es zeroes out these operational costs. It is proven to pay for itself rapidly by avoiding a single critical process shutdown.
WiPr-es utilizes LoRa and BLE protocols. Under LoRa, it can transmit data up to 100m within dense metallic industrial zones and up to 1000m in open areas. It integrates fully and securely with your existing SCADA or PLC networks via ESCOM-es gateways (Wi-GaTe).
No. WiPr-es features different 'Clamp-on' mounting options that allow external installation without interrupting pipeline flow. If pressure port connection is required, it fits G 1/4" or NPT thread fittings in seconds.
WiPr-es is engineered on the 'Plug & Forget' principle. Since there are no batteries to drain or moving mechanical parts to wear out, it requires no periodic maintenance. Keeping the sensor surface clean from excessive dust accumulation is sufficient to maintain heat transfer efficiency.
