    CPI, Reelables Partner for Smart-labeling Project Using Novel Battery-on-Circuit Technology

    Used to track shared objects in workspaces.

    CPI, Reelables Partner for Smart-labeling Project Using Novel Battery-on-Circuit Technology
    CPI, Reelables Partner for Smart-labeling Project Using Novel Battery-on-Circuit Technology
    Printed Electronics Now staff05.12.20
    CPI announced a new collaborative project with Reelables to demonstrate a novel technology for printing smart Battery-on-Circuit labels, used to track shared objects in workspaces. 
     
    This low-cost power source will eliminate the need for expensive and bulky external batteries for printed electronics, overcoming a key barrier to their widening application, mass production and industry growth.
     
    Existing asset tracking solutions on the market require time-consuming installation procedures and are often expensive to use. 
     
    The London-based SME, Reelables, has invented a smart-label that can be easily attached to objects and tracked automatically through a phone app. 
     
    The smart-label incorporates a key manufacturing innovation that allows a battery to be inserted directly alongside the wireless tracking circuit on a thin plastic film. 
     
    The low-cost battery technology is formed by electrochemically coating and laminating two plastic films together, which can power a wireless smart-label for more than a year.
     
    Funded by Innovate UK, an initial 12-month feasibility study will be carried out, combining the expertise of Cisco and the Digital Catapult, with each partner bringing unique skills and capabilities for technology innovation. 
     
    CPI will provide expertise from both its electronics and formulation business units to support the development of the battery device, including anode coating, electrolyte formulation, cathodic slurry formulations and coatings, device assembly, and the testing of battery cells. 
     
    In addition, CPI will compile a written report detailing how the technology will be manufactured at larger scales and its potential in the printed electronics market. 
     
    The successful development of the smart, Battery-on-Circuit labels will enable a new, growing workforce of geographically disperse employees to track shared objects ranging from tools and demo kits to portable medical equipment.
     
    "The ability to coat a lithium-based battery on the same substrate as our wireless circuit would be a breakthrough manufacturing win for track and trace applications across multiple industries. It would enable long-lifespan Internet of Things (IoT) devices to be made at a very low cost," Reelables CEO Brian Krejcarek said. "We’re particularly excited to be working with CPI to figure out how this can be done under ambient manufacturing environments in the presence of atmospheric oxygen and water – the key challenge when working with lithium-based electro-chemistries."
