Hyundai Cradle and Capow have completed a PoC test

Hyundai Cradle, the innovation arm of Hyundai Motor Group (HMG), and Capow, a provider of power delivery solutions for the robotics field, have successfully completed a proof-of-concept (PoC) test examining the elimination of automated guided vehicle (AGV) and autonomous mobile robot (AMR) downtime.

The PoC featured head-to-head testing of Capow’s Power-in-Motion technology versus traditional contact-based charging systems. During the test, when the Power-in-Motion technology was deployed, Hyundai Glovis eliminated downtime.

According to Capow, this result will enable leaner, more productive fleet management, and reduce reliance on bulky charging systems.

“We observed measurable improvements in efficiency and uptime using Capow’s solution as compared to traditional charging systems,” says Jiman Kim, senior manager at Hyundai Glovis Future Innovation and Technology Centre.

“This aligns with our goal of adopting innovative and practical technologies that streamline operations and reduce costs.”

Charging downtime has long been a bottleneck for logistics automation, forcing companies to maintain redundant fleets and absorb higher costs.

Capow’s Power-in-Motion system is designed to ensure uninterrupted AGV and AMR operations by transferring power en route through modular floor antennas, keeping robots in an energy-positive state, reducing reliance on large lithium-ion batteries, and minimising environmental impact.

“Achieving tangible improvements in efficiency and reduced downtime in Glovis’ operations reinforces the value we deliver to the market,” says Prof. Mor Peretz, CEO and co-founder of Capow.

“The PoC results from their fleet validate the benefits of our Power-in-Motion technology, and we look forward to continuing our work with Hyundai Glovis to redefine the landscape of logistics automation.”
