PULS Acquires Start-Up Wiferion

Wireless charging specialist Wiferion becomes our new business unit PULS Wireless. Wiferion’s customers will benefit from our engineering resources and global presence in production and application support.

PULS has always been at the forefront of innovation in power supply technology. Recently, we have taken the unique opportunity to expand our business with a new technology, which is promising for many of our customers: wireless charging of autonomous guided vehicles and mobile robots.
 
On 1 October 2023, PULS finalised the acquisition of Wiferion and their wireless charging business and technology. Wiferion becomes our new business unit PULS Wireless, with an operational team in Freiburg (Germany). 

This new wireless charging technology will provide unprecedented fleet efficiency, and is maintenance-free, reliable and flexible. It will become an integral part of any automated production, helping companies to increase productivity while reducing their day-to-day costs.
 

By adding Wiferion’s technology to the already extensive PULS portfolio, we will be able to offer future-proof solutions to the manufacturing and intralogistics industries with our FIEPOS (Field Power Supply) and inductive charging systems which will revolutionise these markets.
