About CubeWorks Inc.

CubeWorks is a venture-backed startup focused on millimeter-scale wireless sensing solutions. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Ann Arbor, MI, CubeWorks’ core technology stems from over 10+ years of ultra-low power VLSI circuit research at the University of Michigan. We offer a suite of millimeter-scale electronic sensors and microcontrollers powered by our patented ultra-low power custom ICs.

CubeWorks’ ICs boast industry-leading energy efficiency which allows our sensors to be packaged in the smallest form factors ever reported. Our smallest F-Series temperature sensor measures 2 x 4 x 2 mm3 – slightly larger than a grain of rice – and includes a battery, processor, memory, sensing interface, and wireless communication. Our sensing capability include high-precision sensing of temperature and pressure, ultra-low power audio recording and imaging, with additional sensing modalities in the pipeline. Battery-powered system lifetime ranges from months to years and is further extended with integrated harvesting capabilities. The sensors’ extremely small form factor, long battery lifetime, and uncompromised sensing precision open up ubiquitous sensing in the grand scheme of Internet of Things (IoT).
