LoLiPoP-IoT provides first version of its White Paper

The EU Chips JU project LoLiPoP IoT provides the first version of its White Paper. As a public deliverable it is part of the project's dissemination strategy. In this White Paper, LoLiPoP-IoT presents the first version of its documentation of the central, publication-ready outcome, embedded within a structured document to support the dissemination of the project’s technological advances and value propositions across several underlying use cases (UCs). An improved and updated version will be submitted as journal paper in June 2026.

The White Paper (available here) begins by introducing the motivation for the LoLiPoP-IoT project, framing the need for long-life power platforms in terms of scalability, sustainability, and alignment with the European Union's Green Deal, circular economy and digitalization objectives. The core White Paper section (section 5) outlines UC-based summaries across the three main WSN value add application functionalities of asset tracking (AT), condition monitoring (CM), and energy-efficient (EE) buildings for enhanced user comfort. The central idea behind the development of the LoLiPoP-IoT white paper is to emphasize and exemplify the impact of early collaboration between stakeholders to co-develop multi-source, micro-power EH and adaptive edge algorithms that would collectively enable multi-year or energy-autonomous WSN node operation with substantial reductions in battery replacements, maintenance overhead, and energy consumption. Furthermore, the deliverable clearly explains the cross-use-case leverage and its associated impact. It highlights the value additions achieved through shared and interoperable technology building blocks. The document also outlines common integration methodologies and identifies clear pathways toward standardization and large-scale adoption. Overall, this deliverable serves as an integrated, research-oriented record of the LoLiPoP-IoT project’s industrial impact, providing a coherent foundation for communicating the LoLiPoP-IoT White Paper to the broader ecosystem of academics, developers, researchers, and industry partners (service providers, system integrators and installers as well as end users)..

About LoLiPoP-IoT:
In LoLiPoP-IoT innovative Long Life Power Platforms are being developed to enable retrofitting of wireless sensor network (WSN) modules in IoT applications. It comprises energy harvesting (light, heat, vibrations, RF) and micro-power management platforms as well as application optimised WSN modules. The partners work on minimizing power consumption and maximising use of the ambient energies to assure long battery life of the WSN modules, in many cases full power autonomy. The APPLICATION (industry 4.0, smart mobility and energy efficient buildings) Use Cases drive the development of algorithms to perform FUNCTIONALITIES like asset tracking, condition monitoring (for predictive maintenance) and energy/comfort optimization in buildings.

LoLiPoP-IoT creates an ecosystem of 40 developers, integrators and users from 10 European countries to develop these platforms thinking about power/battery life, ease of installation and maintenance. The project is driven by 10 laboratory- and field-based use cases to initially demonstrate their technical viability and then potential impact.
