Hi!
I'm are looking for a battery-free hardware solution that can generate enough energy upon handling to log a timestamp into an RFID chip’s internal memory. The key requirements are:
No battery – The device should harvest energy when the envelope is moved or handled (piezoelectric, RF, or other energy harvesting methods).
Ultra-thin form factor – Must fit inside an envelope with a maximum thickness of 1 cm.
Energy-efficient – Must generate just enough power to store a timestamp in an RFID chip.
Scalability – We plan to produce 16,000 units, so the solution should be cost-effective for mass production.
Do you know about any existing components that meet these requirements? If not, would you be able to suggest a different approach?

I was thinking about the PPA line but it might be too expensive for what I'm looking for.
