At the international trade fair, LogiMAT, Wiferion will showcase the wireless power supply of AGVs (automated guided vehicles) and AMRs (autonomous mobile robots). In Hall 2, stand D17, the tech company will be presenting its multi-award-winning etaLINK inductive charging systems, its new software and a wide range of use cases from well-known OEMs.

In addition to the above, over 20 manufacturers will be appearing at LogiMAT who already use Wiferion’s inductive charging technology.

Wiferion aims to improve the process reliability and productivity of automated logistics applications through the intelligent supply of power. Inductive charging technology is being incorporated into more and more industrial e-vehicles.

As Johannes Mayer, Wiferion’s Managing Director reports.“Since we were presented with the BEST PRODUCT award at LogiMAT in 2020, we have been further developing our technology to meet OEM market requirements and have been able to complete many different projects and conclude long-term framework contracts.”

Battery charging systems from the system supplier of energy solutions are now being used by over 100 OEMs and practically all the German motor manufacturers, plus the major logistics and e-commerce companies. “At LogiMAT, we are showing how our partners from various industries are benefiting from our charging solutions.”

More than 20 exhibiting OEMs have already integrated etaLINK inductive charging systems into their vehicles. These include well-known AGV producers such as SAFELOG, FlexQube, KUKA and Swisslog, Magazino, Eurotec with their Lowpad, Norcan and BHS Intralogistics.

“Among AGV manufacturers in particular, our etaLINK systems have struck a chord in the industry because of their many advantages,” explains Johannes Mayer. etaLINK is an IP65-certified, low-maintenance, enclosed system without mechanical components that, for example, causes no copper rubbing, unlike charging with sliding contacts.

“Whether it is in the motor industry, the fulfillment center or semiconductor manufacture – our inductive chargers improve the reliability of the processes.” In addition to expanding its market leadership in Europe, Wiferion has also been operating in the US market since 2022.

At LogiMAT, more than 20 OEMs are set to show how they use Wiferion inductive fast-charging systems to enable their customers to carry out maintenance-free and fully automated charging.
