CaPow, a provider of power delivery solutions for the robotics field, has appointed David Scheffrahn of Ocado Intelligent Automation, John Santagate of EMP Advisors, and Matthew Wicks of Logistics Automation Advisors to its advisory board.

According to CaPow, the appointments strengthen its strategic leadership at a time when it is accelerating global adoption of Power-in-Motion, its platform that is designed to transfer energy to robotic fleets while in motion, eliminate downtime and ensure constant throughput.

David Scheffrahn, vice president of sales, NA at Ocado Intelligent Automation, brings experience from an advanced automation environment, with a focus on the practical realities of deploying and scaling robotics in high-throughput environments.

John Santagate, founder of EMP Advisors and formerly senior vice president of global robotics at Infios, has expertise in enterprise supply chain technology and a record of helping organisations modernise and orchestrate complex operational environments.

Matthew Wicks, founder of Logistics Automation Advisors, and formerly the vice president and general manager at Zebra Robotics Automation, brings experience in warehouse automation and large-scale robotics deployments across logistics and manufacturing environments to his new role.

“System uptime is a major driver for operators running mobile robot fleets at scale,” says Prof. Mor Peretz, CEO and co-founder of CaPow.

“David, Matthew and John bring the kind of real-world insight that helps translate technical advantage into operational impact.

"Their perspectives will support our next phase of growth as Power-in-Motion becomes a strategic lever for automation leaders.”
