About Wiferion
Wiferion uses inductive power transfer to recharge mobile industrial equipment automatically during brief stops in normal operation. The approach removes manual plug-in steps and can reduce the battery capacity required for fleets that charge opportunistically. Product families cover lower-power mobile robots and higher-power industrial vehicles.
The Freiburg business operates as part of PULS and works with robot manufacturers and automation partners on OEM integration. Its systems are used with AMRs, AGVs, forklifts, cobots and other machines that require repeatable automated charging.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-03-10 - Market Signal - Wiferion unveils next-generation wireless charging product family at LogiMAT 2026
Wiferion announced a next-generation wireless charging product-family reveal for LogiMAT 2026. The product family is aimed at intralogistics, mobile robotics, automated warehouses and smart factories. The reveal signals continued expansion of Wiferion's wireless power infrastructure for autonomous mobile robot fleets.

Charging pads can be positioned along working routes, allowing robots to recharge during short pauses without plug or sliding contacts. The PTK1350 navigates without magnetic guide strips and uses cameras, scanners and onboard software to negotiate changing factory environments. Patika identifies the etaLINK system as standard hardware across its robots, alongside production and service facilities in Sakarya and Neuwied.
Source - 2025-04-28 - Partnership - Hikrobot integrates Wiferion wireless charging into H7 AMR
Hikrobot uses Wiferion inductive charging in the H7 heavy-duty AMR that transports large components in automotive production. Contactless charging during short process stops lets the robot take on energy without a separate charging zone or mechanical contacts. The charging configuration includes a CAN interface for real-time battery monitoring and more precise energy-management control.
Source - 2025-02-27 - Partnership - OMRON and Wiferion partner on wireless AMR charging
Wiferion’s inductive charging technology was certified by OMRON for LD-series autonomous mobile robots, allowing integrators and distributors worldwide to implement the option. The system can charge AMRs during work processes at up to 60 amps, reducing charging pauses, mechanical wear and the need for separate charging zones. A RAMP project at a large automotive manufacturing facility used the combined OMRON and Wiferion setup to reduce fleet size and floor space while supporting topper systems and mixed-fleet interoperability.

The demonstrated configuration mounted a FANUC CRX-10iA/L arm on the mobile platform. Camera-based positioning calibrated the robot to the machine; Euroboxes carried HSK-mounted workpieces.
Source - 2020-08-05 - Partnership - Sherpa adopts Wiferion charging for SHERPA-B and SHERPA-P
SHERPA-B was already equipped with Wiferion's inductive charging system for container-transport workflows. Sherpa said SHERPA-P, its pallet-transport robot, would also receive the etaLINK system as the rollout expanded. The 3 kW system supported automatic in-process charging, CAN data exchange and reported energy-transfer efficiency of 93 percent.
