Traditionally requiring heavy cables, expensive connectors, and an unmanageable multitude of battery charging stations and docks, WiTricity technology changes all of that, using highly resonant wireless power transfer to directly power machinery and to streamline the charging of battery powered mobile systems and devices.
From milliwatts to kilowatts, in industrial applications ranging from low power “Internet of Things” sensors all the way up to high power unmanned industrial vehicles, WiTricity can help you realize Industry 4.0.

Seamless wireless charging for robotics & tools
Automatic wireless charging for mobile robots, AGV’s, and cordless tools and instruments, eliminating complex docking mechanisms and labor-intensive manual recharging and battery replacement.
Wireless power & communication
Direct wireless power and communication interconnections across rotating and moving “joints” – for robots, packaging machinery, assembly machinery, machine tools and more – eliminating costly and failure-prone wiring and connectors.
Usable in harsh environments
Direct wireless power and communication interconnections at points of use in harsh environments – such as drilling, mining, underwater, etc. – where it is impractical or impossible to run wires.
Improve safety of devices
Direct wireless power and wireless charging of equipment in Class 1, Division 1 explosion-proof environments. By eliminating copper contacts, wireless power can improve the intrinsic safety of many types of devices used in refineries, chemical plants, mines, and other hazardous environments.
