Battery Independence Begins Here

As export bans tighten, CaPow offers a path beyond cobalt and lithium dependency

In a world suddenly waking up to the geopolitical fragility of the battery supply chain, CaPow’s mission has never felt more urgent—or more visionary.

China’s latest move to restrict the export of lithium and cobalt processing technologies to the United States sent a ripple through global markets. But for many in the robotics and automation space, this wasn’t just a policy shift. It was a wake-up call. The era of blind battery dependence is over. And CaPow is already building what’s next.

Why Batteries Became a Bottleneck

Batteries have long been the hidden cost center of robotic automation: heavy, slow to charge, prone to overheating, environmentally problematic, and now—politically volatile. They were once seen as a necessary evil for automation. But at CaPow, we see them as an obstacle.

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), the backbone of smart warehouses and production lines, rely on batteries that slow them down in every sense—physically, economically, and now geopolitically. As battery supply chains become a global flashpoint, the question is no longer if we need a new model—but how soon we can implement one.

The Solution: Dynamic AMR and AGV Charging with Power-in-Motion

CaPow’s Genesis platform represents a fundamental shift in how robotic systems are powered. Instead of relying on outdated models of AGV charging and AMR charging, where downtime is inevitable, Genesis delivers energy-in-motion. It allows robots to receive power continuously while moving—no docking, no waiting, and no batteries to swap.

Genesis At a Glance:

• 100% Uptime – No more production pauses for charging

• 30% ROI savings – Less idle time, fewer robots, more value

• 20% fleet reduction – Achieve full throughput with fewer units

• Zero charging zones – Eliminate wasted floor space

• Fleet-agnostic compatibility – Works with AGVs, AMRs, ASRS, pallet shuttles and more

• Up to 88% energy transfer efficiency – Even with misalignment or movement

Why This Matters Now

In a climate where strategic autonomy is the new currency, Genesis offers operational independence. Manufacturers and logistics providers can dramatically reduce their exposure to battery sourcing risks—without compromising productivity or scalability.

This is more than innovation. It’s insulation—from geopolitical volatility, from raw material shortages, and from the mounting costs of battery-based infrastructure.

The Future Is Moving—and It’s Wireless

Genesis is already deployed across North America and Europe, powering fleets in motion with results that speak for themselves. It’s not a prototype. It’s a proven, scalable solution for robotic energy transfer—and it’s redefining the standard for AGV and AMR charging worldwide.
