nemi G+ nano – Tiny Wireless Multi-Axis Sensor with Energy Harvesting for Acceleration, Vibration and Rotation Measuremen
nemi G+ nano
nemi G+ nano is an ultra-compact, board-level wireless sensing solution designed for precise measurement of accelerations, vibrations, rotation rates, rotation angles, magnetic fields, and temperature in and around all three spatial axes. It is part of the nemi® Wireless Measurement Family and represents the smallest and lightest solution in the series, optimized for integration into space-constrained and moving systems.
The sensor integrates a high-resolution, low-noise triaxial capacitive MEMS accelerometer, a triaxial gyroscope, a triaxial magnetometer, and an internal temperature sensor, enabling full 9-DoF IMU functionality. This makes nemi G+ nano ideally suited for inertial measurement, vibration analysis, and condition monitoring in highly dynamic environments.
Thanks to the highly efficient nemi Link 2400 radio technology developed by i4M, nemi G+ nano achieves exceptionally long battery runtimes. When combined with the optional solar Energy Harvesting module with MPPT, the device can reach virtually unlimited operating time under favorable conditions.
In addition to wireless battery-powered operation, nemi G+ nano supports permanent installations via a wide-range DC voltage input or solar panel supply. The device enables transmission of live raw measurement data as well as smart data generated directly on the sensor through edge computing, significantly reducing data volume and communication effort.
With its extremely compact dimensions and very low weight, nemi G+ nano can be seamlessly integrated into the smallest installation spaces, effectively turning components and machines into smart, connected products.
Typical applications include:
-
Monitoring of rotating components such as gearboxes
-
Pitch bearing monitoring in wind turbines
-
Wireless vibration and acceleration monitoring
-
Smart machine and component integration
-
Long-term condition monitoring with energy harvesting
-
Dynamic measurements in moving systems
