Today, with the rapid operation of the global supply chain, ports and container terminals, as logistics hubs, are facing multiple challenges such as the surging cargo throughput, the upgrading of equipment automation, and the complication of the operating environment. Traditional positioning technologies (such as DGPS or systems based on ground beacons) have been difficult to…
In challenging industrial environments, maintaining high-precision positioning can be difficult due to satellite signal loss from vegetation, buildings, or machinery vibration. Septentrio’s AsteRx series GNSS receivers, integrated with Systron Donner’s MMQ50 MEMS IMU, offer a powerful solution to this issue. This advanced multi-sensor fusion enables consistent and accurate navigation even when satellite visibility is compromised….
At the historic Sverensburg Castle site, the Norwegian Institute of Cultural Heritage (NIKU) is combining archaeology with cutting-edge technology. Using Septentrio GNSS/GPS receivers, researchers are able to record the exact location of every medieval handicraft uncovered—even deep within the ruins—with centimeter-level RTK accuracy. This remarkable precision is vital for organizing and analyzing centuries-old data. One…
In the world of commercial offshore dredging, maintaining critical shipping routes demands pinpoint accuracy. For ocean engineering leader DEME, ensuring uninterrupted operations near busy international ports is a daily challenge—especially when radio interference from military activity distorts GNSS signals. To overcome this, DEME integrates the AsteRx4 GNSS receiver from Septentrio aboard its work vessels. With…
When mining operations in the Amazon were disrupted by unreliable GPS signals, expert Jim Elkins stepped in with a robust solution. By implementing the ARDVARC control system and replacing all existing GPS receivers with Septentrio AsteRx-U GNSS receivers, the team successfully restored full operational capability. Jim, who has worked with Septentrio GNSS receivers for over…
