Topcon Positioning Systems and Fixposition entered into an agreement to collaborate on integrated technology for future product offerings. It will enable users of Topcon technology to avoid disrupting workflows.
“Topcon provides high-precision GNSS (global navigation satellite system) positioning technologies for geomatics, construction, and agriculture applications worldwide. Working with companies such as Fixposition, specialists in Visual RTK (real-time kinematic) and visual-aided positioning, helps create added value,” said Ron Oberlander, head of the Topcon Geomatics Platform.
“Customers are increasingly working in environments where satellite connection can be challenging, and need consistent, reliable positioning to maintain productivity,” Oberlander said. “Fixposition offers technology that augments satellite positioning, beneficial for users even while working in indoor-outdoor transitions, without disrupting workflows by combining RTK GNSS with artificial intelligence to ensure position accuracy. We see this AI-enabled technology as an innovative integration with our next-generation GNSS solutions.”
“We’re proud to supply Fixposition’s xFusion, vision and multi-modality fusion positioning technology to support Topcon’s next-generation GNSS solutions,” said Zhenzhong Su, CEO and co-founder of Fixposition. “We look forward to bringing this new solution to market, helping surveying professionals among which in agriculture deliver faster results and get more done without compromising quality, even in GNSS-challenging environments.”
Fixposition has been integrating Topcon RTK corrections into its Vision-RTK sensors since 2023, when the companies announced an agreement providing Fixposition customers in North America and Europe with access to the Topnet Live RTK corrections service network.
