In a significant move towards fully autonomous supply chains, the two companies are joining forces to leverage their co-developed technology, incorporating ground-penetrating radar for precise positioning of autonomous equipment under diverse visibility conditions.
This $40 million partnership uniquely grants BTG exclusive rights to implement GPR's core technology within port operations.
Diek Neurdenburg, CEO of BTG Positioning Systems, highlighted the transformative impact of their latest absolute positioning measurement system on the industry. Neurdenburg stated, "Our new system is a game-changer, offering a level of precision and reliability equivalent to our traditional systems but without the necessity for additional infrastructure. This breakthrough opens avenues for wider acceptance of autonomous guided vehicles and gantries, contributing significantly to the efficiency and safety of container terminal operations."
