Growth and Challenges of the AMR Market in E-Commerce
The market for Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) in e-commerce is growing rapidly, as companies leverage this technology to optimise their warehousing and logistics processes, meeting the increasing demands for flexibility and efficiency. However, despite their potential, businesses face challenges, particularly regarding the energy supply for robot fleets, as traditional charging systems are often inefficient and difficult to scale. To enhance the efficiency and reliability of AMR solutions, innovative and continuous charging systems are required.
Inductive charging offers an efficient, contactless solution that maximises the operational time of autonomous robots while minimising maintenance requirements by enabling charging during operation. This eliminates charging breaks and downtime, reducing the number of vehicles needed and increasing the availability of the robots through fewer interruptions.
The new Wiferion CW1000 charging system, with a power output of 1 kW, has been specifically designed to fill the gap in compact AMR solutions. With its compact design and the integration of mobile electronics directly within the charging pad, the CW1000 offers a reliable and efficient solution for the needs of small robots. This innovation not only facilitates easy installation but also significantly enhances productivity through continuous and uninterrupted charging.
The CW1000 offers numerous advantages that make it the ideal solution for small AMR fleets. The most important include:
- High positioning tolerance
- Maintenance-free operation
- Quick charging initiation
- Compact design
- Efficient and safe charging
- Simplified installation and standard wiring
These benefits make the Wiferion system the perfect solution to tackle the challenges of energy supply in mobile robotics and significantly enhance the efficiency of the entire fleet.
The CW1000 is the first “wireless product” predominantly manufactured at our own production facility in Chomutov. This marks the beginning of a new era for PULS and our brand Wiferion.
