Analysis:
WiBotic is one of only a handful of wireless battery charging solution providers, and WiBotic was one of the first to come to market with its wireless charging solutions. The company recently received a CE mark approval for its charging solutions and is actively expanding beyond the U.S. market into Europe.

As interoperability between robots gains acceptance, the mobile robot market has expanded beyond homogeneous deployments to environments where multiple vendor solutions are operating within the same workspace on a manufacturing, warehouse or front-of-house retail space. Within this heterogeneous operating environment, it doesn’t take long for the active space to become cluttered with unique and proprietary charging stations for each individual robot.

WiBotic offers a solution that essentially provides a “universal charging” function that every mobile robotic device can leverage to recharge its batteries. Now, with the addition of WiBotic Commander, the entire heterogeneous fleet’s energy management can be managed with a single, unified solution. – Mike Oitzman
