Provides continuous power delivery
Founded by Prof. Mor M. Peretz, Dr. Eli Abramov, and Dr. Alon Cervera, CaPow pioneers continuous power delivery, facilitating a perpetual power sourcing solution disrupting the way automation solutions are designed and deployed.
Many automated solutions today rely on batteries for power. This reliance causes several inherent inefficiencies, such as charging downtime and exorbitant costs due to the need for additional robots to replace those that are charged.
The Israeli company addresses the primary bottleneck for automation.
By offering consistent power flow for mobile robots, CaPow’s energy delivery eco-system allows automated robotic solutions to continuously operate with no energy depletion downtime.
The company’s proprietary solution facilitates optimal power transfer with wide and dynamic capabilities.
Additionally, it supports large distances between the transmitting and receiving ends, as well as wide spatial coverage, providing substantial power levels with optimal end-to-end efficiency.
“At IL Ventures, we align closely with CaPow’s mission of creating a sustainable, battery-free power supply for the industry,” says Yoni Heilbronn, Managing Partner at IL Ventures. “We are excited to invest in an exceptional and proven technology, which is a game changer for the entire robotic power landscape.”
