This solution provides continuous power for automated robotic environments while eliminating robot downtime due to charging. The round was led by IL Ventures, a VC fund focused on disruptive technologies for legacy industries, with co-investment from Mobilion VC, Payton Planar Magnetics, Doral Energy-Tech Ventures, Mobilitech Capital, and Mr. <span class=\"xn-person\">Ray Nissan<\/span>, a prominent angel investor.<\/p>\n<p>Today, many automated solutions rely on batteries for power supply. This dependency leads to several inherent inefficiencies such as charging downtime and rampant costs due to the need for additional robots to replace the ones that are being charged. Moreover, traditional batteries have a negative environmental impact, as they create safety hazards and are an operational &#8220;headache&#8221; since they require a dedicated procurement strategy, special shipping, handling, storage and recycling.<\/p>\n<p>CaPow addresses the primary bottleneck for automation: the challenge of providing reliable, cost-effective, and non-pollutive energy. By offering consistent power flow for mobile robots, CaPow&#8217;s energy delivery eco-system allows automated robotic solutions to continuously operate with no energy depletion downtime while ending the concept of reliance on legacy batteries. CaPow&#8217;s &#8220;battery-free&#8221;, paradigm-shifting solution is being well received along the logistics value chain, as it is validated to cut down the size of the required robot fleet, enhance throughput and improve the ROI of automation.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Robotics Summit (May 10-11) returns to Boston<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.roboticssummit.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Register Today<\/a><\/h3>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Robotics Summit &amp; Expo Preview\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8TDm7ynAoPY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<p>CaPow&#8217;s proprietary solution facilitates optimal power transfer with wide and dynamic capabilities. It accommodates multiple users, as well as the presence of metal and debris in and around the energy transfer field. In addition, it supports large distances between the transmitting and receiving ends, as well as wide spatial coverage. This provides substantial power levels with optimal&nbsp;end-to-end efficiency. The value of CaPow&#8217;s technology further expands to the wider mobility market with a wide range of applications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Amir Fishelov joins CaPow&#8217;s Board of Directors as Chairman of the Board, leveraging his two decades of experience as Co-Founder of SolarEdge (Nasdaq: SEDG), a pioneer and global leader in smart energy technology.
