Summary of Innovation

AGVs, AMRs, and industrial trucks can now be charged without any contact quickly and safely. As a leading provider of mobile, wireless power supply for industrial e-vehicles in Europe, Wiferion is revolutionizing the automated charging of AGVs and AMR with etaLINK. The etaLINK 3000 inductive fast-charging system is the world's first production-ready, contactless battery charging system with an efficiency of 93% in its class. With the flexible and scalable technology, vehicles are fully charged automatically during the shortest stops; also known as in-process-charging. No longer will AGVs and AMRs be tethered to plugged-in wires for long unproductive charging pauses. This innovation translates to productivity increases up to 30%. Maintenance-free, automated charging is no longer futuristic; efficient automated charging processes are available today. Last year Wiferion won the most prestigious intralogistics awards in Europe, including the “LogiMAT 2020 - Best Product in Intralogistics.” the company also won the “IFOY-AWARD – Best Start-up” (International Intralogistics and Forklift Truck of the Year) and the “Handling Award – Best Intralogistics Product.” etaLINK 3000 can be installed quickly and easily at logical and intuitive points in logistics and production environments. Loading and unloading processes or short downtimes are used for in-process charging. Vehicles have sufficient energy 24/7. This fully charged capacity is particularly important for manufactures, 3PLs, and distribution centers which operate 2 or more shifts.

Innovation Statement

etaLINK 3000 is the most important innovation at ProMatDX because it defies conventional charging technologies: The system can charge any kind of battery and automatically provides the right power (24 or 48 volts). The system will become the one and only fully automated, maintenance-free energy supply for all industrial e-vehicles and establish a new standard in intralogistics.

Applicability

ProMatDX attendees MUST embrace the Wiferion in-process charging technology which finally makes AGV, AMR and industrial trucks charging equally autonomous.
