…of location and orientation of important assets with centimeter-scale precision. Using stereo cameras and advanced algorithms, the Slamcore Aware module automatically calculates the location of the vehicle it is fitted to and then begins to create a map of the facility as the vehicle moves around. Changes to layout, position of vehicles, goods and people are automatically noted even in dynamic environments. Local “edge” visual data processing supports API Slamcore Aware does not require installation of line-of-sight antennas throughout a facility. Instead, Slamcore takes an inside-out approach that scales in line with the number of vehicles deployed, irrespective of the…
