A New Era of Connectivity: Eliminate Friction with Wireless Power and Data

Frequent mating cycles in industrial environments put significant strain on traditional connectors. Repeated plugging and unplugging — common in robotic tooling and automated transport — leads to worn, contaminated, or damaged contacts.

These failures are often unpredictable, resulting in unplanned downtime, rising maintenance costs, and reduced system availability. In high-throughput operations, even preventive maintenance can become costly and inefficient, while legacy solutions such as slip rings or traditional wireless systems introduce their own limitations in reliability, latency, or complexity.

This presentation explores an emerging approach to overcoming these challenges: wireless transmission of power and data across a small air gap. By removing the need for physical contact, this method eliminates mechanical wear and enables reliable operation in demanding or hard-to-access environments, including enclosed or rotating applications.

Attendees will gain insight into how near-field, high-frequency communication enables real-time, protocol-independent Ethernet transmission with extremely low latency. This solution supports modern automation requirements, such as synchronized control and flexible production. The session will also examine the technical principles behind simultaneous, full-duplex data exchange and inductive power transfer, as well as the practical advantages of flexible alignment and simplified mechanical design.

Ultimately, this presentation provides a clear, technical overview of how wireless connectivity can improve system reliability, reduce maintenance demands, and support more efficient, adaptable industrial processes.
