        January 5, 2023 - Ahmers Osram (SIX Swiss Exchange: AMS), a leading global provider of optical solutions, and Energous Corporation (NASDAQ: WATT), a leading global developer of RF charging technology for wirelessly powered networks, announced that they will join forces to develop a wirelessly powered multispectral light sensor for controlled environment agriculture (CEA) and vertical farming. The joint solution, based on Emmis Osram's AS7343 multichannel spectral sensor and Energous' WattUp PowerBridge transmitter, will be exhibited at CES 2023 in Las Vegas, January 5-8, 2023, where it will be demonstrated live at the Energous booth.
         Today, IoT devices such as light sensors are widely used in environments such as controlled environment agriculture and vertical farming, which can be limiting or difficult to deploy due to their use of replaceable batteries and power cords, as well as the need to manually maintain batteries," said Cesar Johnston, CEO of Energous. Energous' WattUp PowerBridge wireless power technology provides reliable power to multiple devices simultaneously, allowing for a more flexible, waterproof design that reduces the burden of powering them." Emmis Osram is a leader in optical solutions, offering products such as high-quality light sources, optical components and optical sensors. Through this collaboration, Ahmers Osram and Energous will jointly develop a wirelessly powered multispectral light sensor to help agricultural practitioners optimize their lighting solutions for optimal yields. The sensor will also have the ability to calculate photosynthetically active radiation (PAR).  Technological advances in vertical farming and controlled environment agriculture are increasing every day, and there is a growing need to adopt wirelessly powered sensors to free sensing applications from batteries," said Wim Renirie, vice president and general manager of the AWS business line at Amax Osram. With wireless-powered sensors, growers are able to control lighting in a more efficient manner. Through our partnership with Energous, we are demonstrating the benefits of this multi-spectral light sensor solution that can help solve battery issues and improve efficiency in plant lighting such as vertical farming."
