At Aptella, we’re massive fans of machine control technology because we’ve seen the changes in operator confidence and productivity first hand. We’ve witnessed construction projects finished before their scheduled end date thanks to machine control and know its importance on construction projects will only grow in the coming decade. Topcon, our number one construction positioning systems partner has always been an industry leader for machine control systems. From the start, Topcon has been producing high-quality machine guidance and control systems. If you’ve worked on an excavator in the past 30 years, there’s a good chance that you’ve used Topcon technology. This is because almost all operators and fleet managers have embraced excavator guidance and control in some form
Fixposition AG, a Swiss-based supplier of high-precision positioning technology and the inventor of Vision-RTK, has joined forces with Aptella to offer customers in Australia and New Zealand the Vision-RTK 2, a fully integrated solution for vision enhanced centimetre-level positioning to accelerate field robotics. Aptella supports the construction, infrastructure, mining, agriculture and related applications where high accuracy Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning is required. The company’s agreement with Fixposition will enable customers in Australia and New Zealand to enhance positioning accuracy, particularly in challenging environments where signal is obstructed or inconsistent. The Fixposition Vision-RTK 2 solution augments GNSS signals using inertial measurement units (IMUs), visual odometry and other sensors, combining multiple technologies in a single platform to compensate
