The power supply plays a central role in the efficiency and reliability of modern warehouse systems. Gridstore relies on PowerCaps – an advanced capacitor technology. With a charging time of less than 60 seconds, a service life of over 1 million charge cycles and a replacement cycle of 20 years, it outperforms conventional battery technologies in all relevant aspects.

Thanks to contactless charging via induction, the robots are ready for action at all times and are charged during their regular movements without disrupting the operational flow. This concept not only ensures continuous warehouse operations – it also contributes to greater safety and sustainability.

What are PowerCaps?

PowerCaps are highly advanced capacitors that have been specifically developed to meet the requirements of modern automated warehouse systems. Unlike conventional lead-acid batteries, PowerCaps offer a number of compelling advantages:

  • < 60 seconds charging time – no downtime during charging
  • > 1 million charge cycles – minimal maintenance costs
  • 20-year service life – a sustainable investment

This not only means a drastic reduction in maintenance and replacement costs, but also greater system availability. Another advantage: The charging time is less than 60 seconds. This allows the robots to optimise their power supply during regular operation without interrupting warehouse operations.

Contactless charging for maximum efficiency

Gridstore relies on a contactless charging system that works via induction coils. As soon as a robot passes a charging station, the automatic charging process begins – safely, efficiently and without any mechanical wear. This contactless technology eliminates the need for manual intervention, allowing the charging process to be fully integrated into the workflow. The result is uninterrupted operation with minimal energy loss.

Charging stations: Precision and flexibility

The strategic positioning of the charging stations is another key advantage of the Gridstore system. Each charging station is installed exactly where it best supports operational processes – for example, directly in front of the workstations. This allows robots to be charged during lifting and lowering operations without incurring additional travel times. The number and placement of charging stations are planned on a project-by-project basis to ensure maximum efficiency. Thanks to their modular design, the charging stations can be easily integrated into existing warehouse structures.

Sustainability and occupational safety

PowerCaps not only offer operational advantages but also score highly in terms of sustainability. The capacitors are fully recyclable and do not produce any harmful emissions, unlike those that can occur when lead-acid batteries are disposed of. Furthermore, contactless charging technology significantly reduces the risk of potential fire hazards. Employee safety is also a key priority: The voltage-free charging process and automatic docking make Gridstore a pioneer in occupational safety and system reliability. With these solutions, Gridstore ensures an optimal power supply that combines efficiency, sustainability and safety in your warehouse operations.

Frequently asked questions about power supply

 

How long does it take to fully charge a robot?

Thanks to innovative PowerCap technology, the charging process takes less than 60 seconds. This enables the charging process to be integrated quickly and seamlessly into the regular workflow without interrupting operations.

 

What advantages do PowerCaps offer compared to conventional lead-acid batteries?

PowerCaps have a significantly longer service life of up to 1 million charge cycles and a replacement cycle of 20 years. Not only do they charge faster, but they are also safer, as they minimise potential fire risks and are fully recyclable.

 

How does contactless charging of the robots work?

Energy is transferred contactlessly via induction coils. As soon as a robot reaches a charging station, the charging process begins automatically. Tension-free docking reduces wear and tear and improves safety for staff and equipment.
