The need for fleet-wide power and data management has never been higher. Automation is soaring. Electrification is everywhere. But managing charging, batteries and fleet uptime cost effectively remains a significant challenge for growing fleets.

WiBotic provides infrastructure that every autonomous fleet needs at scale: power and data. Without reliable power and data, autonomous systems cannot provide the value they promise to businesses all over the world. In this tech talk, WiBotic CEO and Co-Founder Ben Waters will provide an overview of wireless charging for autonomous systems, and will discuss some of the decisions that robotics companies and end-users should consider when it comes to charging infrastructure.
