Daimler Trucks Mexico Integrates Wireless Charging for AMRs

Edited by: an_lymons vilart

Mexico, [Date] - Daimler Trucks Mexico has integrated wireless charging into its production line for Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs).

In collaboration with FlexQube, PohlCon, and Wiferion, the company implemented a contactless energy supply system. This system charges AMRs directly during operational pauses.

The FlexQube AMR fleet transports materials across the assembly line, covering approximately 250 meters. The robots recharge during brief stops at designated points, lasting 3 to 4 minutes.

PohlCon's Wireless Charging Protection System (WCPS) and Wiferion's inductive charging technology are embedded in the factory floor. Charging initiates automatically when a robot halts over the charging pad.

This integration eliminates separate charging zones, conserving space and reducing maintenance. The system ensures continuous operation without energy-related downtime, enhancing efficiency and safety.

Matthieu Ebert of Wiferion noted that in-process charging creates the basis for new energy efficiency without interrupting operations. This initiative optimizes the performance and efficiency of autonomous systems in manufacturing.
