Growing Demand for Semiconductors

As an indispensable component of virtually all electronic devices, global demand for semiconductors has surged over the past decade. In response, manufacturers face the ongoing necessity to optimise their processes continually. Recognizing this imperative, two of our customers—leading global manufacturers hailing from Europe and Korea—have embraced automation through robotics.

Facing Charging Limitations

Both clients have an existing a fleet of robots equipped with specialized arms, each powered by floor-mounted contact charging docks. However, upon transitioning these robots into mobile units within their cleanrooms, a significant challenge emerged: excessive power consumption leading to frequent downtime for recharging.

Enabling Opportunity Charging

To tackle this pressing issue, Xnergy’s innovative wireless charging solutions have proven pivotal in enabling “opportunity charging.” This approach empowers the robots to autonomously charge during brief pauses in their operations, effectively minimizing downtime and optimizing productivity.

The compact design and universal compatibility of the solution facilitate seamless integration into their current fleet, enabling both manufacturers to leverage their existing resources to the fullest extent without incurring any additional costs.
