Wiferion is the leading solution provider for mobile, wireless power supply for electric industrial vehicles and was founded in 2016 by four researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems. The battery charging systems are now used by more than 100 OEMs and by practically all German automobile manufacturers as well as the large logistics and e-commerce companies. Wiferion has sold more than 5,000 etaLINK systems in over 20 countries. These include leading providers of automation solutions such as the robotics companies SAFELOG, KUKA, and FlexQube. Numerous companies from the logistics, industry, and automotive sectors rely on Wiferion technology. The inductive battery charging systems of the etaLINK series are award-winning and have received prestigious awards such as the IFOY Award and "BEST PRODUCT" at LogiMAT 2020. Users sustainably increase their utilization and fleet efficiency by up to 32%. The flexible and scalable integration of Wiferion products eliminates unnecessary machine downtime and maintenance-intensive and costly charging with plugs. The technology is also suitable for retrofit projects for existing fleets. Wiferion's system has been designed into more than 100 different vehicles worldwide with more than 5,000 units sold globally, including installation in nearly all top European car manufacturing facilities.įor more information about WiTricity, visit For more information on Wiferion, visit About Wiferionįrom inductive charging technology to software-based energy management solutions, Wiferion offers a range of products that enable efficient energy supply for industrial trucks (FFZ), driverless transport systems (AGV), and autonomous mobile robots (AMR). In addition to offering more efficient energy supplies, Wiferion's contactless inductive charging systems eliminate safety concerns due to open contacts, trip hazards, and fire potential. "We are looking forward to partnering with WiTricity in our mission to enable the electrified economy and set a standard for wireless charging applications." Having access to WiTricity's patent portfolio will allow us to further sharpen our value proposition and accelerate the adoption of wireless charging in industrial automation," said Florian Reiners, CEO of Wiferion. "Already today, Wiferion's etaLINK wireless charging solutions are powering thousands of mobile robots around the globe. With the potential to continue 24 hours a day, 7 days a week using a factory's entire fleet without pause, industrial automation can help industries move past current supply chain disruptions to increase productivity. Not only do these technologies untether robots to enable hands-free, unattended factories, but with every industry experiencing supply chain disruptions, wireless charging can offer improved efficiencies. Wiferion's solutions are on the forefront of the shift to uninterrupted industrial automation – meaning AGVs, AMRs, and other industrial vehicles have 32% more uptime through "in-process" charging, or charging during the workflow, rather than at the end of shift. Wiferion's contactless inductive charging systems portfolio supplies entire fleets of industrial vehicles with energy, no matter the voltage, current, or battery type. Powering Efficiencies and Minimizing Supply Chain Disruptions with Uninterrupted, Automated Operations Wiferion develops wireless charging systems for a broad range of industrial applications, including automatic guided vehicles (AGV), industrial trucks, and mobile collaborative robots (AMR/Cobots), that showcase the increasing importance of autonomy. Wireless charging solutions for industrial applications eliminate safety concerns, including the elimination of exposed electrical connectorsįREIBURG, Germany and WATERTOWN, Mass., J/PRNewswire/ - WiTricity, the global leader in wireless charging for electric vehicles, today announced it has licensed its wireless charging technology to Wiferion, the leading solution provider for mobile, wireless power supplies for industrial e-vehicles.Wireless charging increases factory uptime 32% through efficiencies gained from in-process charging that allows continual autonomous operations.The agreement will allow Wiferion to use WiTricity's wireless charging IP in the space of industrial applications.Wireless charging has the potential to ease the burden of the supply chain through uninterrupted operations and industrial automation
