• How to harvest enough energy through heat or light to eliminate batteries.
• The opportunity to further improve on steam as an efficient method of energy transfer.
• Use cases for steam (heat) powered sensors and the industries they operate in.
• Case study that quantifies the cost and value created by monitoring steam traps which then enables us to compute a return on technology investment and the payback period.
