What MEMSYS does

MEMSYS B.V. is a Dutch deep-tech startup spun out of Delft University of Technology and headquartered in Delft, Netherlands. The company develops broadband piezoelectric vibration energy harvesting (VEH) technology that converts machine vibration into usable electrical power, using nonlinear dynamics, compliant mechanisms, and a custom power management unit designed to start from very low input levels. With a stated team of roughly ten people across three co-founders (Hugo as Founder & CCO, Thijs as Founder & CEO/CTO, and Philip as Founder & CFO) plus embedded, electrical, mechatronics, mechanical, and product engineering functions, MEMSYS is building hardware for self-powered industrial condition monitoring.

Its commercial product set comprises three offerings: the EWS-VEH vibration-energy-harvesting sensor with battery backup (planned release Q2 2027), the EWS-B battery-powered wireless condition monitoring sensor with up to seven-year battery life, and the VEH-Standalone module sold to OEMs, system integrators, and hardware developers. Data from deployed sensors can be routed to MEMSYS's backend and forwarded to a customer's CMMS/historian or surfaced on the MEMSYS platform, supporting both hardware sales and a recurring data/software layer.

The company pursues a direct, enterprise-led go-to-market targeting reliability and maintenance teams, condition monitoring service providers, OEMs, and integrators across six marketed verticals: paper & pulp, primary metals, machinery & equipment, food & beverage, water & wastewater, and chemical & petrochemical. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contracts, and ATEX certification across the portfolio is the principal regulatory roadmap to unlock hazardous-area deployment. To date, capital has come from a €350K UNIIQ grant (July 2023) supporting a rail-inspection pilot, plus a February 2025 pre-seed from the Graduate Entrepreneur Fund and angel investors to expand the team and deepen industrial IoT partnerships.

Revenue model

1. Hardware Sales (EWS-VEH, EWS-B): Sale of wireless condition monitoring sensors - EWS-VEH (vibration energy harvesting) and EWS-B (battery-powered). Sensors route data through MEMSYS backend to customer CMMS/historian or MEMSYS platform.
2. VEH-Standalone Module Sales: Vibration energy harvesting module sold as component, development platform, or strategic partnership entry point for companies looking to move beyond batteries.
3. Data Platform / Software: Data is routed through MEMSYS backend and can be forwarded to existing condition monitoring platforms or used within the MEMSYS platform. On-site deployment option available.

Core offering

MEMSYS develops broadband piezoelectric vibration energy harvesting (VEH) technology and manufactures self-powered wireless condition monitoring sensors for industrial assets. Its product line includes the EWS-VEH vibration-powered sensor, the EWS-B long-life battery-powered sensor, and the VEH-Standalone energy harvesting module for OEM integration. The company's offering turns machine vibration into usable electrical power, eliminating batteries, wiring, and the maintenance programs that accompany them.

Product overview

MEMSYS offers a portfolio of three products based on vibration energy harvesting (VEH) technology: EWS-VEH (flagship vibration-powered sensor with battery backup), EWS-B (long-life battery-powered sensor), and VEH-Standalone (energy harvesting module for product integration). The EWS-VEH and EWS-B form a complementary pair for condition monitoring—VEH for assets with sufficient continuous vibration where zero-intervention is desired, and B for assets with low or irregular vibration requiring predictable long-term battery operation. VEH-Standalone extends the technology as a component for third-party product development.
