If you're headed to @Robo_Business this week, keep an eye out for @benhwaters as he hits the stage! First up is a Startup Bootcamp hosted by @MassRobotics! Next we have "Lessons Learned Building Reliable Outdoor Robots" with our friends at @burro_ai and @NextpowerInc!

Mixed fleets rarely age in lockstep. New robots arrive while older platforms keep working, leaving operators to support charging hardware across equipment with very different service histories. #Robotics #IndustrialAutomation #FleetEnergyManagement

Take a look at this snapshot of a customer's live battery cable. 103C! That can cause real harm to your employees and possibly start a fire. Durable power infrastructure should manage heat as a baseline expectation. #Robotics #FloorCleaning #FleetEnergyManagement

When you're making infrastructure decisions surrounding automation, how much are you considering risk tolerance? WiBotic CEO @benhwaters talks more about where the breakdown occurs: #Robotics #automation #riskmanagement

If you've watched #F1, you know that races can be won or lost in the pit lane. Timing, efficiency, consistency, and a bit of luck all come in to play. When it comes to your robot, ROI is won and lost in doing the little things consistently correctly #wirelesscharging #WiBotic

So many robotics developers, OEMs, and even end-users come to us to solve the mystery that is efficient, safe, certified charging. Why is this such a tricky problem to solve? @benhwaters explains! #WirelessCharging #Automation #Robotics

If you are implementing robotics, you should be looking into one-to-many charging infrastructure. This is especially important for mixed fleets to create true autonomy. How many charging points do your robots require? #Robotics #IndustrialAutomation #WirelessCharging

Battery behavior is a moving target as they accumulate cycles. Companies are deploying one-size-fits-all charging that costs time, money, & productivity Software-programmable charge profiles puts that flexibility in the infrastructure. #Robotics #AMR #FleetEnergyManagement

Every piece of hardware will eventually wear out. For robotics, wheel wear can gradually change how an AMR approaches its charging point. That means evaluating charging solutions that support wide alignment tolerance for easy docking! #Robotics #AMR #FleetEnergyManagement

When it comes to floor cleaning machines, you shouldn't worry about the type of debris they're cleaning. If your infrastructure still superheats metallic objects, it may be time to onboard a different solution to offload that risk #Robotics #FloorCleaning #FleetEnergyManagement

Missed #RAC26 (@robotics247)? Now you can watch WiBotic & @EnerSysAmericas talk on aligning charge schedules, opportunity-charging strategies, battery operating parameters, and robot duty cycles, on demand! 🔗: event.on24.com/wcc/mr/689845… #WirelessCharging #WiBotic #Enersys

A delivery robot already manages heat from its battery, motors, processors, and operating environment. Charging infrastructure should support and protect each units thermal margin. #Robotics #DeliveryRobots #FleetEnergyManagement

If you're serious about achieving true autonomy, Wireless charging supports lower wear + maintenance with no connectors to degrade, maintaining dependable fleet energy management throughout the robot’s working life. #Robotics #WarehouseAutomation #FleetEnergyManagement

Do you know what's happening to your batteries once your robot leaves the charger? Join WiBotic & @EnerSysAmericas in our session on how smarter charging and better battery management can support more productive fleets. #Robotics #BatteryManagement #FleetEnergyManagement

One way to futureproof your robotics investment is if your charging infrastructure has turnkey or even modular deployment options. This gives OEMs and operators a practical path to grow alongside their operations. #robotics #WarehouseAutomation #WiBotic

Fleet growth changes the upfront investment for robot implementation. If each unit requires its own charging dock, all of a sudden you're not just cutting a check, but also reconfiguring your floor plan to fit a sudden influx of hardware. #robotics #amr #wirelesscharging

A robot can complete a complex route structure and still arrive at the charger a little off-center. Across repeated docking cycles, small alignment differences can cause wear on contact points, as well as, efficiency drop offs for batteries. #robotics #AMR #WirelessCharging

If you have ever watched a floor-cleaning robot, you know how much dust & debris travel with it. Autonomous equipment deserves charging infrastructure built for the conditions around it. #Robotics #AutonomousCleaning #WirelessCharging
