Sahyadri files patent in path breaking innovation achieving <3 cm resolution navigation system
With Industry 4.0 emerging, Auto Navigation Vehicle (AGV) is currently an area of immense interest. Positioning determination is a key challenge in AGV systems. Many technologies exist in determination of position like Wifi, Bluetooth, Ultrawide Band, Ultrasound and RFID. These technologies have merits and limitations like accuracy, range, tracking and so on.
