Trimble and InvenSense, a TDK group company, today announced they will collaborate to deliver an advanced navigation solution that combines the Trimble ProPoint Go engine and Trimble RTX correction service with TDK’s SmartAutomotive Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) module from InvenSense. Customers can now benefit from greater accuracy and reliability in positioning and navigation across various automotive and IoT applications.
The Trimble ProPoint Go positioning engine is designed to deliver high-accuracy position and orientation data by utilising internationally accessible Trimble correction services. With quad-frequency GNSS signal support and Trimble ProPoint Go’s first-in-market Automotive Safety Integrity Level-C (ASIL-C) certified correction data, this positioning ecosystem helps companies enhance their automated driving capabilities with a focus on safety. It also improves accuracy for IoT applications such as field robotics.
TDK IMUs integrate a triaxial accelerometer and a triaxial gyroscope in a compact six-axis motion sensor to detect the linear acceleration and angular velocity of vehicles and objects with a superior level of accuracy. With its proprietary six-axis and MEMS fabrication platform, TDK inertial sensors enhance application possibilities thanks to their high-performance, compact size and low-power features.
“Together with TDK, we are bringing the power of high-accuracy and precise positioning, along with state-of-the-art ASIL-certified sensors, to help our customers build innovative solutions for the automotive and IoT markets,” said Olivier Casabianca, Vice President of Advanced Positioning at Trimble. “As we continue to expand our positioning services with TDK and other tier-one companies, we are powering the connected world while ensuring the safety and accuracy of connected systems.”
