ANT® localization
Positioning for your vehicle
Know exactly
where your
vehicle is
ANT® localization is a vehicle positioning system for automated guided vehicles (AGVs), automated forklifts and mobile robots. It can also be used to track manual vehicles. ANT® localization simply provides position coordinates to the main vehicle controller. Therefore, it suits vehicle makers who have their own control system.

Functions
Positioning
ANT® localization uses laser scanner data and odometry to localize the vehicle in the map, with permanent structures (features) in the environment acting as references. Accurate to ±1 cm / ±1°.

The following are provided as
standard with ANT® localization.
ANT® Lab Software
Every ANT® navigation system is supplied with ANT® lab, our proven vehicle and mission configuration software.
Embedded mission control
With ANT®, the transfer of mission data from computer to vehicle happens just once (instead of commands being sent continuously from server to vehicle). This vastly reduces network (e.g. WiFi) requirements.
