Wireless, Battery-less Sensor Systems
Transense develops and markets patent-protected sensor systems for measuring torque, temperature and pressure, wirelessly and without the need for batteries, using Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology.
As no batteries or wires are required, the sensors can be used in applications that traditional sensors cannot, such as on rotating shafts or in environments where access to the sensors is difficult or potentially hazardous.
Transense is developing the technology in conjunction with partners including McLaren Electronic Systems and General Motors, as well as via two wholly owned divisions, IntelliSAW and Translogik, targeting the high growth global electrical Smart Grid applications market and the transport industry respectively.

The Benefits of SAW Technology
SAW devices, as deployed by Transense, are realised as crystalline quartz substrates (dies) typically 6 x 4 mm by 350 microns thick. On each die up to 3 resonators, with natural frequencies around 433MHz, are laid down in thin film aluminium, using photo-lithographic techniques. Each resonator comprises a central inter-digitated transducer (IDT) with a series of reflecting strips distributed on either side. Overall resonator dimensions are 2 to 3 mm long x 0.3 to 0.4 mm wide. The spacing between individual features in the IDT and reflectors is of the order of 2 microns so you need a microscope to resolve the fine detail. SAW resonators respond to both mechanical and thermal strain by changing their natural frequency of vibration..
Helping the World's environment
- Wind energy is one of several applications of Transense's patented technology that will have a positive impact on the world’s environment.
- As Transense's passive SAW technology doesn’t require batteries there are no potentially harmful disposal issues.
- By allowing for more efficient car engines and power grids it has the potential to reduce carbon emissions.
- Maximising tyre life & performance reduces the demand for fuel as well as rubber for replacement tyres.
EL PE Engineers and IntelliSAW Announce Exclusive Distribution Agreement for India

- Category: Latest
- Published on Friday, 23 March 2012
As part of this agreement EL PE will provide exclusive distribution for IntelliSAW's innovative wireless/passive temperature monitoring system in the Indian market. In return for exclusive terms EL PE has agreed to a minimum revenue target over the next two years of USD $375K.
Existing critical power infrastructure in India is coming under increasing pressure in a period of growth in demand for power. IntelliSAW's easy to deploy, continuous monitoring solution addresses a number of deficiencies in existing switch gear monitoring solutions, enabling improved power performance of the electricity plant.
IntelliSAW's proprietary solution is wireless and does not require any power to the sensors, affording ease of installation and system commissioning while avoiding introducing any arcing or flashover concerns. Moreover the IntelliSAW system outputs data directly onto existing communication networks using standard protocols, allowing for instantaneous monitoring and control.
Ashok Bhavsar, CEO of EL PE Engineers, said: "We view IntelliSAW as a strong strategic fit with our current business. As the distributor of Doble products in India we see great synergy in adding IntelliSAW products to our portfolio. Our team is ready to leverage these strengths across India's electric power industry."
Graham Storey, CEO of Transense, commented, "IntelliSAW is pleased to add EL PE Engineering to its expanding distributor network. EL PE has considerable expertise with electrical asset management solutions and will manage the installation and after sales support of our switchgear monitoring systems for the Indian power industry. This decision serves to further our overall strategy to implement strong coverage in emerging markets. We anticipate healthy growth of our business working in partnership with EL PE."
EL PE Engineers Established in 1997 offers a team of highly experienced engineering specialists who provide solutions for electrical apparatus condition assessment of high-voltage substation and generator plants including motor, rotating plant, switchgear, transformer, HV series capacitor, cable, and network equipment taking place in the fields of energy production, transmission, distribution, and in the industry.
EL PE is a distributor for Doble Engineering Company products. Doble is the world leader in diagnostic test instruments and knowledge services to the electric power industry.
