Ilika transforms battery technology for Internet of Things

Ilika plc (AIM: IKA), a pioneer in materials innovation and solid state battery technology announces the launch of its Stereax(TM) M250 solid state battery. This is a new, miniaturised solid state battery technology for Internet of Things ('IoT') devices. Addressing the key challenge of always-on, self-charging and efficient energy, Ilika's Stereax(TM) battery family will enable smaller, higher energy-dense batteries to accelerate IoT products to market.

As IoT devices move from concept to reality, providing small, energy efficient solutions for home automation, transportation and healthcare is now one of the key challenges. Ilika is empowering wider adoption of IoT devices through a 'fit and forget' design that enables IoT sensors to be fitted without further maintenance, including changing batteries.

"One of the key challenges for IoT devices is enabling long life energy-efficient power sources," said Franco Gonzalez, industry analyst from IDTechEx. "The combination of energy harvesting and battery technology has been urgently needed to enable small, energy efficient solutions that can easily be installed across a wide range of locations with minimum maintenance."

Solid state batteries are key to IoT since they can be used in conjunction with all the current energy harvesting technologies whilst being able to match the energy needs for IoT devices. Many IoT devices need power in short bursts to collect and transmit data, whilst being able to support a wide range of environment temperatures. Relative to standard lithium ion batteries, solid state batteries have lower leakage currents (10x smaller) and longer life spans of up to 10 years (4x longer). They can also be integrated with other electronic components keeping the size of the end device to a minimum.

"Many IoT devices will be deployed in places that are difficult to service on a regular basis so self-sufficiency is critical," said Charlene Marini, vice president, segment marketing, ARM. "Ilika's Stereax(TM) batteries can help as the technology will enable 'leave for life' IoT devices capable of producing data over extended periods with minimal maintenance. This is where the IoT starts to shed the power tether that could restrain its spread into new and exciting off-grid applications."

Ilika has taken the solid state battery concept to the next level of evolution with its expertise in material development. Ilika Stereax(TM) batteries use patented materials and processes enabling superior energy density per battery footprint, up to 40% improvement on current solid state solutions, and increased temperature range support to over 100degC, 30degC higher than existing solid state products. Ilika's batteries do not contain any free lithium which makes them more moisture resistant.

"Building on our R&D heritage in materials science, Ilika has been developing a range of materials that have enabled us to tailor battery designs that meet the specific needs of IoT" said Graeme Purdy, CEO, Ilika. "For IoT devices to gain wide adoption they need to be able to be fitted then forgotten about, Ilika Stereax(TM) battery technology is a key to turning this into a reality."

Ilika is demonstrating the capability of it's the Stereax(TM) M250 battery in its perpetual beacon for temperature sensing at IDTechEX in Berlin between the 27-28th April 2016.

Be carefulThe price could be pumped........+ve News delays thenMM drops price dramatically in order to get their hands on your shares. Not very pleasantI Speak from bitter experience.

You're too kind.

[supernumerary] 26/4/2016 15:11

Rogk - not if the news is from ARM, you won't...

[waterloo01] 26/4/2016 15:06

Very nice to see. Topped up with a few on Friday in anticipation of this week.

[someuwin] 26/4/2016 15:02

The ARM tweet is interesting.

Especially as IKA appointed ex ARM Holding PLC's Chief commercial officer as their Chairman.

MMS have no stock, this is gonna explode

120p this week

[big7ime] 26/4/2016 14:44

Good find Leon, I always thought they are in talks
Graeham wants to adopt the ARM model
Not sure we'll get news of deals but it's close
The Analysts presentation is Fri, I don't think the share price will be this ridiculously low for long now

[someuwin] 26/4/2016 14:35

Not taking much to move it up.

Looking forward to meeting with @Ilikaplc to find out how their micro-batteries for IoT can complement #ARM tech @IDTechExShow next week

[loobrush] 26/4/2016 14:27

Looking very good here and I am expecting licencing news tomorrow especially with investors presentation planned for Thursday to let us know all the details.
Currently up 7% on minute volume-if news is as expected this should really move as not many shares in free float at the moment and small buys moving price.

[big7ime] 26/4/2016 14:12

Friday should be the real detail including news of impending licensing

[the stigologist] 26/4/2016 13:11

Breaking out

[the stigologist] 26/4/2016 13:03

Breaking out prior to what should be a massive launch event tomorrow and then Investor Relations roadshow.

[toptrump1] 26/4/2016 10:58

You out again then,
Shouldn't you be buying whilst the price is low (as you said you are a trader here)
I'd have thought waiting for lower when they are about to sky rocket is a risky game,
you know you should -
Just buy the shares Roger

[big7ime] 26/4/2016 09:50

Are we about to see a doubling or trebling of the share price by the end of the week I wonder/hope everything crossed!

Ilika plc (AIM: IKA), the accelerated materials innovation company, will be attending the IDTechEx Conference in Berlin for the global launch of its ground-breaking micro battery technology on the 27 April 2016. Ilika's new family of batteries is set to revolutionise the design of sensors for the Internet of Things (IoT).

Ilika will be showcasing the product on stand G12 at the Energy Harvesting & Storage Europe Conference at IDTechEx and also at the 'Demonstration Alley.' CEO, Graeme Purdy, will additionally be speaking about solid-state micro-batteries for IoT at the conference at 4.40pm on Thursday 28 April 2016.
