Control Automation Day 2026: Eliminate Friction with Wireless Power and Data

Frequent connection 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.

3:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM PT

This presentation from Danny Walters, Product Marketing Specialist at Phoenix Contact, 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.
