The Wiferion etaLINK wireless charging system may be the most important ProMatDX innovation reported manufacturing journalist TR Cutler in the recent issue of LogisticsMatter magazine. Read the full article here.
From April 12 -15 ProMatDX, the largest material handling event, will take place virtually. It will feature dozens of AGV vendors. Julian Seume, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) for the German-based inductive wireless power company Wiferion, shared the company is a finalist for the ProMatDX Innovation Award as Best New Product featuring the etaLINK 3000 – wireless charging system.
Wiferion in process charging eliminates the plug-in charging making AGVs truly autonomous. In process charging eliminates the waste of AGV downtime – the fleet is always working AND charging. In process charging is cost-efficient because full vehicle deployment means a reduced fleet count ensuring a rapid ROI.
For OEMs of AGVs and industrial trucks implementing inductive charging technology solves the wear and tear issues caused by conventional charging methods as well as making vehicles fully autonomous. For end-users of AGVs and industrial trucks, inductive charging in combination with lithium batteries can improve fleet availability by more than 30%.
Wiferion educational session at ProMatDX will take place on Tuesday, April 13 at 9:00-9:30 am CDT.
