Inductive charging system for AMRs

The market for AMRs is expanding rapidly as companies seek to improve logistics processes and maximise efficiency. A considerable challenge lies in ensuring a reliable energy supply for growing AMR fleets. Conventional charging solutions, such as manual docking stations or mechanical contact systems, often lead to long downtimes, high maintenance costs, and limited scalability.

Wiferion – a PULS business unit – offers the CW1000, a compact and reliable contactless charging solution tailored to satisfy the needs of small AMRs. With 1kW power output, the device allows continuous and interruption-free charging, eradicating separate charging zones and allowing robots to charge directly during operations. This increases fleet uptime and reduces the number of vehicles required.

Key advantages of the device include a high positioning tolerance, allowing easy and efficient docking during charging. It offers maintenance-free operation, as no mechanical contacts are prone to wear. The fast charging initiation, within one second, ensures maximum utilisation of charging time. The compact design allows seamless integration into even the smallest AMRs. The standard cabling simplifies installation and decreases development time for manufacturers.

Thanks to its compact and flexible design, the device allows OEMs to integrate the system into AMRs and optimise the space for other critical components. This innovative solution improves robot availability and decreases failure points, improving fleet efficiency and productivity.

The CW1000 can be seen at IntraLogisteX 2025, where the company will also present battery solutions. This expands the range of applications for AMRs with fewer charging cycles, such as those employed in continuous industrial production or overnight inventory scanning, combining inductive charging with longer operating times for maximum efficiency.
