Wireless power for AMR
(autonomous mobile robots) makes them even more productive

Equipped with our etaLINK series wireless power systems, AMR does not require any restrictive plug or sliding connections. Our energy solution consists of a wallbox and a charging pad, which is installed at frequently frequented places in the logistics and production environment. The powerful mobile electronics are very compact. The patented receiver coil, the mobile charging unit and energy storage device can be integrated into the mobile robot for inductive charging in a space-saving way.

If an AMR approaches a charging point placed in the logistics environment, the energy supply starts fully automatically in less than one second. etaLINK has an efficiency of 93%, so mobile robots can use even the shortest stops for efficient energy supply. Furthermore, the charging station can also be approached omnidirectionally.

The new wireless power technology from Wiferion enables “in-process charging”. Here, autonomous mobile robots receive short intermediate charges during the ongoing production and logistics process, thus keeping the energy level of the systems constant. The vehicles can perform their transport tasks in continuous operation without interrupting the logistical processes for charging breaks.

One charging station can operate different batteries with 24 to 48 volts, and the charging characteristic is freely programmable.

The Wiferion products communicate with the vehicle components via an integrated CAN interface. This guarantees an optimal charging process without heat development and a high process reliability, as well as all necessary data is transmitted.

AMR are efficient in handling small goods and products. Compact dimensions are decisive for this. Smaller batteries allow mobile robots to be designed even slimmer.

Since our wireless power products keep the energy level of the robots constantly high, we reduce the capacity ranges of the batteries. The required capacity of the battery used is reduced by up to 30%.

Our charging system is maintenance-free, as we have developed it without mechanical sliding contacts. This is a great advantage for robotics and AGVs, because oxidized plugs or broken cables often lead to solution downtimes. Accordingly, inductive charging makes your automation even more reliable.

Flexibility and fast implementation in the company characterize the mobile robots, so delays due to necessary construction measures of traditional loading technologies are counterproductive.

The etaLINK system from Wiferion can be installed in an extremely flexible manner. The charging pads can be attached in a few days to walls on the floor, on driveways, in parking areas or loading and unloading stations. New placements due to changing layouts can be implemented quickly with just a few simple steps.
