Main Content

<p style="text-align: left;">The Wireless Charger 3.0 is an inductive coupling system which provides automated,
fully intervention-free, and efficient battery charging for various kinds of vehicles, i.e. all kinds of Automated Guide
Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs / Cobots).</p><p><strong>Optimized, Efficient
Charging</strong></p><p>Using Lithium batteries, the charging process is optimized by a constant interaction
between the onboard battery management system (BMS) and the Inductive Power Supply (IPS). The track supply
only provides the instantaneously required power.</p><p>In contrast to conventional charging systems –
conductive charging contacts and “plugged” inductive systems – the Wireless Charger does not use any plugs or
paddles and is fully intervention free.</p><p>Positioning the vehicle roughly over the Inductive Stationary Pad
(ISP), the stationary coil is the only requirement. Charging can be fully automated.</p><p>Providing in-process
charging automation capability, Wireless Chargers are ideal to apply opportunity charging. Short and frequent
charging intervals do reduce the thermal load on batteries, do extend their lifetime and make reduced battery
capacities possible. Charging becomes a process integrated doing, there are no extended dead times for
charging or travelling times to designated charging locations or even swapping
batteries.</p><p>[[{"fid":"29091","view_mode":"media_50","fields":{"alt":"Wireless Charger - Functional
