Rotterdam, 17 february 2025 - We are proud to announce our investment in Memsys, a deep-tech company from Delft that is transforming industrial monitoring. Founded by Thijs Blad, Philip Seijger, and Hugo Romer, Memsys develops vibration energy harvesters that power industrial sensors by harnessing machine vibrations. This eliminates the need for batteries, reducing costs, minimizing maintenance, and making industrial operations more sustainable.

Why We Invested in Memsys

In industrial settings, condition monitoring sensors typically rely on batteries to track machine performance and maintenance needs. Replacing these batteries leads to high costs, production downtime, and significant environmental impact. Memsys provides a scalable and sustainable alternative by converting machine vibrations into energy, allowing sensors to operate continuously without battery replacements. This reduces operational costs, enhances efficiency, and contributes to a more environmentally friendly industry.

‍

What sets Memsys apart is its technological breakthrough: while existing solutions can harvest energy from a single vibration frequency, Memsys has developed a system that captures energy across a broad frequency range. This makes their technology more adaptable, widely applicable across different industrial environments, and highly scalable.

Memsys’ Technology

Memsys has developed an advanced vibration energy harvesting technology that provides industrial sensors with a continuous energy source. By converting machine vibrations into electricity, Memsys eliminates the need for battery replacements while significantly enhancing sensor performance. With this self-sustaining power source, sensors can collect data more frequently and with greater accuracy, allowing companies to optimize maintenance strategies and prevent unexpected failures.
