CaPow’s Wireless Charging Revolutionizes Retail Warehouse Robotics

In the fast-paced world of retail logistics, uptime is everything. With customer expectations for next-day delivery and 24/7 fulfillment only increasing, traditional warehouse automation systems — especially those relying on charging docks — are beginning to show their limits.

That’s where CaPow, an Israeli startup, enters the scene. Its Genesis system delivers wireless, in-motion energy to robots, eliminating the need for conventional charging breaks and boosting warehouse throughput.

In a written reply to RetailMeetsAI.com, Rebecca Barel, Vice President of Marketing at CaPow, shared:

“Genesis provides continuous power to robots while they're operational, effectively eliminating downtime. Our clients have reported up to a 45% increase in operational efficiency.”

This solution is particularly relevant for retailers operating high-velocity distribution centers where every minute of productivity counts. By retrofitting existing fleets and avoiding bulky battery swaps or fixed charging infrastructure, Genesis helps logistics teams reduce both operational overhead and facility congestion.

Moreover, CaPow’s wireless system extends battery life by preventing overcharging and regulating energy delivery on the move. In scenarios where space is tight and throughput is king, removing stationary charging zones can free up real estate for storage or process optimization.

The company’s recent unveiling of the Genesis Antenna XL — capable of powering fleets across large-format warehouses — underscores its commitment to scaling with retail logistics needs. As robotic fleets continue to proliferate in the retail sector, from dark stores to micro-fulfillment hubs, CaPow’s approach offers a rare blend of speed, sustainability, and flexibility.

“Robots shouldn’t rest — and neither should innovation,” Barel noted.
