The excavator can stay at home
At HANNOVER MESSE 2026, ProtoDevs GmbH is redefining the efficiency of urban infrastructure. The Karlsruhe-based company is presenting off-grid infrastructure solutions that offer full interactivity with a record-breaking power consumption of just 2.5 watts.

As the world moves toward ultra-low-power IoT and climate-neutral cities, ProtoDevs claims to offer the most energy-efficient and fastest-deployable interactive solution on the market. Since early 2025, the company has installed over 3,000 units. ProtoDev’s customers, including parcel locker operators, achieve full integration within just two to three months. An additional 3,000 units are planned for 2026.
High energy efficiency: The company’s proprietary software enables a full 7-inch touchscreen system to operate on just 2.5 watts, allowing for three to five years of autonomy without a power connection. This efficiency is intended to provide a decisive competitive advantage in the parcel locker market and enable rapid global scaling and deployment at locations where a power connection is either impossible or too costly.
In addition, the solution offers further key advantages. Adapted to increasingly extreme weather conditions, it operates across a temperature range from minus 30 degrees Celsius to plus 70 degrees Celsius. All circuit boards are also equipped with a professional protective coating against moisture and dust. A responsive, touch-enabled terminal designed for outdoor use serves as an intuitive user interface. The plug-and-play urban infrastructure eliminates the need for costly excavation work and complex utility permits.
