ArduSimple launches GNSS starter-kit with centimetre precision positioning

Aimed at those looking to test ‘proof-of-concept' with high precision positioning - Works seamlessly out-of-the-box in Europe and US -

ArduSimple today announced the availability of a range of GNSS starter-kits enabling anyone in Europe or the US interested in testing or integrating high precision centimetre accuracy for a service or product proof of concept (PoC).



Building a PoC for increasingly common applications such as autonomous vehicles where high levels of positioning accuracy is required is often a complex process. Finding compatible antennas that are tuned correctly, CPUs, modems that connect to GSM, sourcing a global SiM and then finding a suitable RTK correction engine that works in multiple regions and then mounting this all on a board is a lengthy and costly process.


Solving this issue, ArduSimple has pulled together all the components and services required into a range of starter-kits that work - straight out of the box.


Working anywhere in Europe and the US with a 4G signal the simpleSSR - Starter Kit includes:


1 simpleRTK2B-F9P V3 board

1 u-blox ANN-MB-00 Antenna for GNSS Dual Band with cable (IP67)

4G radio module with NTRIP client including RTK-SSR engine (XBee socket compatible)

2x 4G antennas with integrated cable

1x SIM card with 1-year subscription

1-year subscription to u-blox PointPerfect SSR service

Price: €799.00 / $849.00



Commenting on the start kit launch, Marc Castillo, Senior Consultant at ArduSimple, said: "Bringing together the components, high precision accuracy and connectivity in Europe and the US in one simple out-of-the-box solution will significantly speed up the process of PoC projects. We've reduced the complexity enabling engineers to focus on the feasibility of their project."

The ERT150 - Dorner's Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors

The next evolution in Dorner's Edge Roller Technology conveyor platform, the ERT®150, is ideal for small and light-load assembly automation, as well as medical and medical-device assembly application. The ERT platform is the only pallet conveyor of its kind available with an ISO Standard Class 4 rating for cleanroom applications. Earning the ISO Standard 14644-1 Class 4 rating means Dorner's ERT150 will conform and not contribute to the contamination of cleanrooms to those standards. As implied by its name, the ERT150 (Edge Roller Technology) uses rollers to move pallets through the conveyor smoothly with no friction (a byproduct often seen in belt-driven platforms). The conveyor's open design eliminates concerns of small parts or screws dropping into rollers and causing conveyor damage or jamming. The ERT150 is suited to operate in cleanroom environments requiring a pallet handling conveyor. It is capable of zoning for no or low-back pressure accumulation and is ideal for automation assembly applications within industries including medical devices, electronics, consumer goods among others.
