Development of Circuit Boards for Low-Energy Microcomputer

摘要

As a measure against an aging facility or detection measures for obsolete facilities with signs of fault, the market expects new services using more advanced facility data mining and data analysis. In order to realize monitoring under circumstances which are considered difficult to monitor, we focused on technologies of low power consumption and harvesting energy. With the progress of mobile phones, smartphones, and PC tablets, it has become easier to realize low power consumption for computer systems. As a result, energy existing in external sources can be harvested so that energy can be actively utilized as a power source for computer systems. Against such technical background, we made a prototype of monitoring equipment based on such low power consumption and energy harvesting technologies.
