Wiferion will become a new business unit, PULS Wireless, and the current operational team will remain in Freiburg, Germany, selling to and servicing global accounts.

PULS, a technology and market leader in power supplies for industrial applications, is taking over the industrial wireless charging business of Wiferion, an energy solution supplier powering mobile robots and autonomous industrial vehicles through wireless charging. Wiferion will become a new business unit, PULS Wireless, and the current operational team will remain in Freiburg, Germany, selling to and servicing global accounts.

Wiferion's platform is now enhanced with the capabilities of PULS, a technology-driven company based in Munich and Chicago, and existing customers will benefit from the company's global presence in manufacturing and application support. The addition of Wiferion's technology to the extensive PULS portfolio will provide customers in the manufacturing and intralogistics industries unprecedented fleet efficiency that is maintenance-free, reliable and flexible, helping companies to increase productivity while reducing their day-to-day costs.

"For both companies, efficiency and reliability are key. Since PULS already has a strong presence in intralogistics, Wiferion's wireless charging solution is the ideal addition to the existing product portfolio to address a similar customer base," said Matthieu Ebert, former VP of Wiferion's North American subsidiary who will now serve as director of product and technology of the PULS Wireless business unit. "There is an innate compatibility between Wiferion and PULS that will ensure success for future applications and our existing customers."

"As a pioneer, Wiferion has successfully developed inductive charging to maximize the performance of industrial electric vehicles such as autonomous guided vehicles, autonomous mobile robots and forklifts, and thereby gained the leading market position. With the additional capabilities of PULS, we want to make this system the global market standard and will invest significantly," says Bernhard Erdl, managing director and owner of PULS GmbH.

Inductive wireless charging is moving toward a standard power platform, and Wiferion has established itself in the U.S. market as a leading supplier of solutions for the mobile wireless power supply for industrial trucks, autonomous guided vehicles and autonomous mobile robots. Wiferion gained nearly 30 new U.S. customers this year.

Wiferion's etaLINK series of inductive battery charging systems eliminate unnecessary machine downtime and the need for high-maintenance, expensive wired charging. From production logistics, through fulfillment and warehousing, to agriculture and shipping, Wiferion has already sold charging systems in more than 20 countries. The system has been designed into more than 100 different industrial EV and mobile robots, with thousands of units sold globally, including installation in several renowned European and U.S. automotive manufacturing facilities.
PULS employs more than 100 developers and has global production and sales locations to take Wiferion's charging technology and scalability to a new level. With the additional capabilities of PULS, the goal is to make this wireless charging system the global market standard.
