Zusammenfassung:	A sensor unit (10) is configured to be mounted in the vicinity of an electric motor (20) in a food packaging machine. The sensor unit comprises: at least one sensor device configured to generate sensor data representative of an environmental parameter of the food packaging machine, a wireless transmitter for transmitting the sensor data, and a power source for providing energy to the at least one sensor device and the wireless transmitter. The sensor unit (10) provides for ease of installation and maintenance by being self-powered through energy harvesting of a magnetic field (B1, B2) generated by the electric motor (20), by use of at least one receiving coil in the power source.
