Customer challenge: map fiber connections The Municipality of Vindeln, Sweden, needed a simple and cost-effective solution for documenting newly installed fiber network infrastructure with centimeter-level accuracy. Traditional high-end total stations and professional surveying equipment can be very expensive, making it impractical to equip every field crew member with a precision mapping device.  The goal was […]

Overview As part of our mission to support accurate positioning solutions in challenging environments, ArduSimple was proud to contribute GNSS technology to an outdoor Street View mapping project carried out by 360tvr for Kyushu Electric Power Transmission and Distribution Co., Inc. The project focused on creating digital maps of 10 remote islands located in the Tokara

Overview This customer project comes from Aryonix, founded by Alexandre Cavaleri. Aryonix develops a real-time rendering engine capable of creating cinematic, photorealistic and immersive 3D environments from photographs. Aryonix collaborated with Downhill Wings, a project dedicated to exploring, mapping and filming downhill routes for inline skates, longboards and other gravity sports. The project uses a

Table of contents A sailing yacht equipped with a Raymarine EV-100 autopilot has been successfully upgraded with a high-precision GNSS system based on an ArduSimple receiver and CAN bus (NMEA 2000) interface. The system is currently installed and operating on board. It provides GNSS positioning data directly to the vessel’s NMEA 2000 network, where it

Table of contents Description Before starting a road or any other heavy construction project the site ground has to be settled in the first place. Otherwise the site ground might move during the construction process causing instability and affecting the materials. To settle the site ground a heavy layer of sand is placed on top

Survey objective: precise mapping of drainage and soil conditions Across several Finnish municipalities, the Maa-Akatemia (Soil/Land Academy) team studied how water moves through farmland and how soil structure influences it. Their goal was to give farmers and local authorities clear maps showing the condition of drainage systems and soil health — two key parts of

Researchers at Umeå University tested how RTK GNSS can support artificial intelligence (AI) control systems in large forestry machines (full article is available here). The goal was to check if a vehicle control system trained only in computer simulation could work directly on a real 31-ton forestry forwarder without further tuning — a process called

What are PAPI lights? PAPI Lights (Precision Approach Path Indicator) are a set of four bright lights installed next to a runway. They help pilots know if they are exactly on the correct descent path while landing. Here’s how they work: Each light can shine either white (if the pilot is above the correct angle)

Why accurate strawberry yield mapping matters Knowing how many strawberries are growing in a field — and exactly where they are — is critical for farmers and researchers. It helps them plan harvest schedules, manage workers, and optimize production. Traditionally, this counting is done manually, which takes a lot of time and is often not

The challenge: how to test autonomous robots reliably Testing autonomous agricultural robots is not easy. Farmers and researchers need to know if these machines can work safely and stay inside defined areas (geofences). Existing test setups were limited: they were fixed in place, could only track one object, and did not work well in real
