Introduction
Logistics is the backbone of modern commerce, and warehouse automation has become the engine driving efficiency. But while robotic fleets are now common, one persistent barrier remains: energy delivery. Traditional charging methods force robots to pause operations for hours each day, inflating fleet sizes and slowing throughput.
CaPow’s Genesis Power‑in‑Motion and GEMS (Genesis Energy Management System) solves this by eliminating charging downtime. This combination turns energy into an invisible layer of infrastructure, enabling 24/7 autonomous logistics at scale.
Here’s how advanced warehouse automation can transform logistics efficiency- and why energy innovation is the missing piece.
1. The Hidden Cost of Downtime
Most autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) must stop every 6-8 hours for 1-2 hours of charging, leading to 20-30% productivity loss. This forces operators to add extra robots and chargers, raising capital and operational costs.
Genesis removes this bottleneck by powering robots while they move, eliminating scheduled downtime entirely.
2. Power-in-Motion for Continuous Operation
Genesis uses capacitive wireless power transfer to deliver 500 W of energy in motion, with 50% misalignment tolerance and speeds up to 5 m/s
Robots no longer need to detour or dock for charging. They simply run, continuously, unlocking new levels of efficiency.
3. Optimizing Energy with GEMS
GEMS goes beyond hardware. It provides:
- Real-time energy monitoring
- Predictive maintenance alerts
- Integration with Warehouse and Energy Management Systems
- Support for Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) to turn energy into a managed subscription
This ensures optimal energy use while minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.
4. Reduce Fleet Size by 20%
With traditional charging, companies oversize fleets by 20-25% to offset downtime. With Genesis, every robot operates continuously, enabling leaner fleets and significantly lowering CapEx and OpEx.
5. Reclaim Valuable Floor Space
Charging docks eat into prime warehouse space. By removing them, operators free up room for inventory, staging areas, or additional throughput capacity.
6. Extend Battery Lifespan
Genesis charges batteries in their “sweet spot” (60-70%) instead of deep cycling. This extends battery life up to 3×, reducing replacement costs and improving sustainability.
7. Case Study: Tier 1 Manufacturer
Manufacturer deployed Genesis across two facilities, achieving:
- 20% fleet reduction
- Over €2M in annual savings from reduced operational losses and fleet size
- Seamless retrofitting without disrupting workflows
This is proof that logistics efficiency gains are not hypothetical- they are real, measurable, and repeatable.
8. Energy-as-a-Service for Scalable Growth
With GEMS, energy management can be delivered as a subscription model (EaaS). This removes upfront infrastructure costs, simplifies scaling, and guarantees optimized energy performance across multiple sites.
Conclusion
Advanced warehouse automation is about removing every barrier that slows robots down.
By combining Genesis Power-in-Motion with GEMS energy intelligence, logistics operators can:
✅ Eliminate downtime
✅ Reduce fleet size and costs
✅ Extend battery life
✅ Scale operations seamlessly
