The utilisation of autonomous haul trucks with GNSS/INS technology represents a significant advancement in the field of logistics
There are several key reasons why Steer chose Septentrio's AsteRx SBi3 Pro+ for its autonomous navigation equipment:
FUSE+ Technology: This technology enables precise positioning to be integrated with other sensors, including heading, pitch and roll INS, to provide highly accurate positioning and orientation angles.
Multi-frequency Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS): The AsteRx SBi3 Pro+ can access multiple satellite constellations to provide advanced positioning capabilities, especially in areas where satellite visibility is low, such as near cliffs .
Positioning redundancy and integrity: FUSE+ provides positioning redundancy and improved positioning integrity for safe autonomous navigation with INS sensors.
FUSE+ provides position redundancy and improved position integrity for safe autonomous navigation with INS sensors.
Dead-zone repositioning: In areas where the sky is obscured by high cliffs, machinery or tree canopies, dead-zone repositioning using INS ensures continuous positioning capability.
Durability: Ruggedised and durable.
Durability: Rugged receiver designed for harsh industrial environments and can withstand high-intensity impacts.
Anti-jamming and anti-spoofing technology.
Anti-jamming and anti-spoofing technology: GNSS receivers incorporate renowned anti-jamming and anti-spoofing technology, AIM+, to ensure signal stability and security.
