Hyundai Glovis faced a problem common to warehouse automation: charging downtime was killing efficiency.

Their fleet of AGVs operated with a 6.75:1 work-to-charge ratio. Every seventh robot was charging at any given moment.

This meant 15% operational efficiency loss, or the need to purchase 15% extra robots just to compensate for charging downtime.

solution is wireless power transfer while robots work! 🛜

The Genesis platform uses capacitive charging pads placed in the floor where robots naturally stop during operations, in this case, at picking stations. No docking required, no deviation from routes, no excavation needed.

The test compared two identical setups.

Section A used three robots with traditional charging (operate until 40% battery, charge to 95%).

Section B used three robots with CaPow's system, charging at the picking station while operators picked items from bins.

Traditional robots lost 8.3% battery per hour and suffered 33% operational inefficiency (150 minutes downtime out of 447 minutes). CaPowered robots gained 1% battery per hour on average and achieved 100% uptime for the entire 8-hour shift.

The math on a 100-robot fleet is clear. Traditional charging means only 85 robots working at any time. To maintain full throughput, you need to buy 15 extra robots plus 15 extra chargers.

Those chargers consume valuable warehouse space and add extra downtime as robots travel to and from charging zones.

CaPow eliminates all of it. No extra robots, no chargers taking up floor space, no charging routes, no fleet management complexity.
