AMR stands for autonomous mobile robots in German. The Chinese AMR manufacturer Hikrobot has now announced that it will integrate Wiferion's wireless charging technology as a new industrial standard into its AMRs.

Hikrobot from Hangzhou, China (near Shanghai), a leading provider of mobile robots and industrial image processing, reportedly has 1,450 AMR types, covering a wide range of applications in automotive production, logistics, electronics manufacturing, and photovoltaics. To prevent efficiency losses due to charging breaks for its AMRs, particularly in the automotive sector, Hikrobot relies on wireless charging technology from Wiferion. The inductive charging technology is already being used in the heavy-duty AMR H7, which transports large components in automotive production.

Our customers in the automotive industry expect maximum availability from AMRs. Inductive charging is the best solution for this.

Zongqi Wand, EU Solution Manager at Hikrobot

The advantages of inductive charging are obvious: Mobile robots can work without interruption. Additionally, open contacts can be eliminated, which increases safety and reduces maintenance effort. And because fixed charging zones are no longer necessary, companies gain valuable space for other processes.

Mixed AMR Fleets no Longer a Problem

Another advantage of the Hikrobot AMR: this Chinese manufacturer relies on software interoperability with the universally applicable VDA 5050 interface. With the standardized inductive charging technology, AMRs from different manufacturers can use the uniform interoperable charging infrastructure, which facilitates the operation of mixed AMR fleets and reduces investment costs for different charging infrastructures.

Wang: "With inductive charging, we create a future-proof energy supply for our AMRs. Our customers benefit from more efficiency, more flexibility, and a technology that has established itself as an industry standard."
