Case studies
Nordian’s innovative OEM board and PX9 solution, leveraging u-blox’s ZED-F9P GNSS and NEO-D9S modules and PointPerfect correction service, offer a game-changing approach to addressing these challenges.
The agricultural and heavy machinery sectors are undergoing a transformation as precision technology becomes a cornerstone of operational efficiency. However, implementing high-accuracy GNSS solutions remains a complex challenge for many Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and businesses in these industries. Nordian’s innovative OEM board and PX9 solution, leveraging u-blox’s ZED-F9P GNSS and NEO-D9S modules and PointPerfect correction service, offer a game-changing approach to addressing these challenges.
While many companies are familiar with the impressive capabilities of u-blox’s F9P and companion NEO D9S L-band receiver, not all are aware of the critical role that the PointPerfect correction service plays in delivering global centimeter-level positioning accuracy. Nordian’s solution takes this technology to the next level by addressing common blockers such as seamless L-band access, reference frame conversion and ionospheric adaptations. The result is a robust, plug-and-play platform that removes development barriers and makes high-precision positioning both accessible and scalable.
The Building Blocks of Nordian’s Solution
These features enable high-precision positioning that is ready to use out-of-the-box, significantly reducing the time, cost, and complexity of development. |
1. Plug-and-Play Simplicity
Nordian’s OEM board and PX9 solution are designed for seamless integration. By offering a fully optimized, pre-configured platform, Nordian removes the development burden for OEMs and businesses. This is particularly valuable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that lack the resources for extensive in-house engineering.
2. Cost-Effective High Precision
Traditional high-precision GNSS solutions can cost thousands of dollars annually, limiting their accessibility to only the largest players in the market. With PointPerfect, Nordian’s solution offers similar or better accuracy at a fraction of the cost, opening the door for businesses and operations to adopt precision technology. This democratization of high-precision GNSS not only saves on cost but also enables medium-sized farms to capitalize on a range of benefits including in the agriculture industry to: reduce fuel consumption, cut waste, and minimize environmental impact.
3. Adaptability Across Applications
Nordian’s platform supports a wide range of applications, from precision agriculture to mining and surveying. Its compatibility with standard 20-pin connectors and legacy receivers ensures easy adoption and replacement of outdated systems, making it a future-proof investment.
4. Reliability in Challenging Conditions
In industries like agriculture and mining, where connectivity is often unreliable, Nordian’s solution excels. It combines cellular and satellite correction delivery, automatically switching between the two to maintain seamless performance. Features like "SmoothTrack," which ensures uninterrupted operation during temporary signal losses, make the system especially reliable for critical applications like auto-steering in tractors.
5. Enhanced User Experience
Nordian’s dashboard simplifies the user experience by automating key management and subscription activation. With secure serial number tracking, customers gain access to precise positioning services without worrying about unauthorized usage. This streamlined approach eliminates the technical complexity often associated with high-precision GNSS systems.
