Minew and InPlay Launch World’s First Mass-Produced Battery-Free BLE Tracker at Sensors Converge 2025

Minew and InPlay Introduce the First Mass-Produced Battery-Free BLE Tracker at Sensors Converge 2025

SANTA CLARA, CA, June 23, 2025 — Minew, a leading global manufacturer of IoT devices, and InPlay Inc., a pioneer in ultra-low-power wireless connectivity, are unveiling their innovative MTB11 Ambient Light Harvesting Asset Tag at Sensors Converge 2025 in Santa Clara, California. Launched earlier this month, the MTB11 is recognized as the first mass-produced, battery-free Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) tracker that operates solely on ambient indoor light. This groundbreaking product offers a maintenance-free and low-carbon solution for scalable IoT deployments, eliminating the need for disposable batteries, wiring, or manual maintenance.

“The MTB11 exemplifies the capabilities of InPlay’s NanoBeacon SoC,” stated Jason Wu, CEO of InPlay Inc. “With unparalleled power efficiency and simplicity, we are facilitating battery-free wireless connectivity at scale, paving the way for the next generation of sustainable IoT devices.”

Measuring two-thirds the size of a credit card, the MTB11 is specifically designed for high-density environments such as warehouses, healthcare facilities, and manufacturing sites. It features effective indoor energy harvesting and ultra-low-power wireless performance, allowing for up to 10 years of operation depending on the configuration and available light, all without chemical batteries. With production anticipated to reach 1 million units over the next three years and an expected annual growth rate exceeding 30%, Minew aims for the MTB11 to support a new wave of truly sustainable, large-scale IoT deployments.

“The MTB11 is not just another product; it represents a significant advancement in sustainable asset intelligence,” remarked Eason Huang, Product Director at Minew. “By integrating energy harvesting technology with InPlay’s ultra-low-power BLE SoC, we have overcome two major challenges: power anxiety and signal reliability.”

### Real-World Applications of MTB11:

– **Smart Warehousing:** Attach the MTB11 to bins, racks, or mobile equipment for real-time asset visibility without the need for battery maintenance.

– **Medical Equipment Tracking:** Utilize the MTB11 to track infusion pumps or mobile carts in hospitals, ensuring hygiene and reducing power risks.

– **Smart Display Monitoring:** Enable autonomous operation of digital displays in showrooms, exhibitions, and retail spaces with consistent lighting.

– **Visitor & Personnel Management:** Facilitate indoor positioning for staff, visitors, and contractors in large facilities through BLE-based Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS).
