Core offering

Wiferion develops and sells proprietary inductive (contactless) wireless charging systems and lithium battery storage solutions for industrial electric vehicles, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and forklift fleets. Its core product line includes the etaLINK 3000 (3,000W) and CW1000 (1,000W) inductive charging pads, the etaSTORE LFP and LTO battery systems, and the etaTRAY forklift battery retrofit solution, all designed to enable in-process, maintenance-free charging in warehouse, logistics, and production environments.

Product overview

Wiferion offers a portfolio of inductive (wireless) charging systems and lithium battery products for industrial electric vehicles and mobile robots. The core charging product line includes the etaLINK 3000 (3,000W) and CW1000 (1,000W) inductive charging systems, which enable contact-less, automated in-process charging with 93% efficiency and positioning tolerance of 40mm. These systems are complemented by the etaSTORE battery family (LFP and LTO chemistries), the etaTRAY retrofit battery tray for forklift conversion, and the Discover Battery line. The products support continuous 24/7 operation across AGVs, AMRs, forklifts, and automated guided vehicles in warehouse, logistics, fulfillment, and production environments.
