Revenue model

1. Energy Harvesting Generator (EHG) Hardware Sales: WePower sells its Gemns line of energy harvesting generator modules (G100, G200, G300) to OEM manufacturers and industrial customers. These are electromagnetic induction modules designed into IoT devices to replace batteries. Sales are B2B, likely in volume to device manufacturers integrating the technology.
2. Technology Licensing: WePower Technologies is transitioning to a technology licensing model, licensing its Gemns patents and energy harvesting technology to OEMs who embed it into their own products. At CES 2025, the company announced negotiations with nine major smart home brands to license the technology into their water sensor products. Licensing fees are negotiated on a per-product, per-volume basis.
3. Integration Consulting Services: The company offers technical support and integration consulting services for OEM customers embedding Gemns technology into their devices. Technical support is provided during standard business hours for 90 days after delivery. Integration consulting may be available under separate agreements.

Core offering

WePower Technologies designs, manufactures, and licenses the Gemns™ line of kinetic Energy Harvesting Generators (EHGs)—electromagnetic induction modules (G100 industrial push button, G200 high-power industrial generator, G300 low-force slide switch) that convert mechanical motion into millijoule-class electrical energy to power wireless IoT devices without batteries. The company sells EHG modules directly to OEMs and is transitioning to a technology licensing model, embedding its patented IP into partner-manufactured products such as leak detectors, lighting controllers, smart locks, and industrial sensors.

Product overview

WePower Technologies offers the Gemns™ line of kinetic energy harvesting generators (EHGs) — a platform of battery-free power solutions based on patented electromagnetic induction technology. The product family includes three core EHG modules (G100 for industrial push buttons, G200 as the most powerful industrial-focused unit, and G300 for consumer slide switches), each generating over 3mJ of energy per activation — more than 40× typical prior levels. Reference products built on this platform include a wireless battery-free leak detector, a wireless lighting controller, door/window sensors, and vibration sensors. The Gemns EHGs are designed into IoT devices to permanently eliminate battery dependency while supporting wireless protocols including Bluetooth, LoRa, Z-Wave, Matter, Thread, and ISM.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered flagship and core.

• Focus SB LtdflagshipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 7 January 2026WePower Technologies and Focus SB Ltd announced a joint project at CES 2026 unveiling a battery-free, wireless lighting controller that eliminates the need for batteries, power wiring, and ongoing maintenance. The solution integrates the Gemns G300 energy harvester and mounts directly into existing in-wall gang boxes, enabling retrofit installation for residential, hospitality, and commercial environments. The collaboration builds on prior joint development work in the premium automotive sector, extending engineering expertise into the built-environment and architectural lighting space.
• SouthcoflagshipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 6 January 2026WePower Technologies partnered with Southco at CES 2026 to unveil a battery-free, wireless smart lock concept featuring WePower's Gemns G200 energy harvester powering Southco's locking actuator and a BLE radio without a battery. The solution eliminates the need for battery replacement and wired power, reducing maintenance costs and installation complexity for OEMs and facility operators. The technology enables scalable electronic access deployment to remote enclosures, data center cabinets, and industrial equipment.
• Z-Wave AlliancecoreTechnology or Integration · 6 January 2026WePower Technologies' Gemns battery-free Leak Detector is the first product to enter precertification under the Z-Wave Alliance's newly approved Wake on Event End Node (WOEEN) device class, which enables sensors that remain dormant until triggered by an event. The WOEEN classification, scheduled for full release on January 9, 2026, supports Z-Wave Long Range-only devices with extended range capabilities of up to 1.5 miles. This partnership validates WePower's technology within the Z-Wave ecosystem.

Broad incumbents

• ABB: Global industrial automation incumbent with overlapping wireless industrial sensor and switch portfolios. While ABB's industrial IoT and control products compete broadly with WePower's industrial G100/G200 modules, ABB does not specialize in kinetic electromagnetic harvesting.
• Honeywell: Diversified building automation and industrial controls incumbent. Honeywell's wireless sensor and lighting control offerings compete with WePower's smart home and building products, though Honeywell addresses far broader markets beyond kinetic harvesting.
• Texas Instruments: Power management IC and industrial sensor incumbent. Comparable as a supplier of underlying electronics for energy harvesting systems and industrial IoT applications, though TI does not produce competing electromagnetic kinetic generators.
• Analog Devices: Industrial sensing and signal conditioning incumbent. Comparable as a supplier of precision sensing, energy harvesting PMICs, and industrial measurement components used in the broader batteryless wireless sensor ecosystem WePower targets.
• Schneider Electric: Major building automation and electrical equipment incumbent with wireless lighting controls and industrial sensor lines. Comparable in targeting the same smart building and industrial wireless switch markets WePower addresses, with significant European exposure aligned with the 2027 EU battery ban.

Direct peers

• Cymbet: Direct peer in thin-film energy storage and energy harvesting solutions for IoT devices. Cymbet's EnerChip solid-state batteries complement harvesters like WePower's Gemns in batteryless wireless sensor applications.
• Powercast: Direct peer in wireless energy harvesting (primarily RF-based) for battery-free IoT sensors and tags. Both companies target industrial IoT and smart building OEMs seeking batteryless wireless solutions with comparable licensing/business models.
• EnOcean: Direct competitor in kinetic energy harvesting for self-powered wireless building switches and sensors. EnOcean's patented electro-mechanical energy converter and large installed base in European commercial buildings directly overlap with WePower's G100/G200/G300 modules and OEM licensing motion.

Emerging players

• e-peas Semiconductors: Belgian fabless semiconductor company specializing in energy harvesting PMICs and ambient IoT processors. Comparable in targeting batteryless IoT, though e-peas focuses on the power management IC layer rather than electromagnetic generators like WePower.
• SMK Electronics: Electronics OEM that launched its HarvestLoop kinetic energy harvesting platform at CES 2026 for industrial and wearable applications. Direct competitive reference for WePower in the energy harvesting platform market.
