OxTS will be joining Innovatrix as a Silver Sponsor for the 4th Autonomous Off-Highway Machinery Technology Summit, taking place in Berlin, Germany on May 21-22, 2025. We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with them again for the third time to deliver this event for the European off-highway industry.

OxTS is passionate about inertial navigation and how they can help their customers with their technology. Using two decades of experience in combining the best of high precision GNSS receivers and world-class inertial navigation expertise, OxTS’ GNSS/INS products are supplied with a comprehensive software suite including powerful data analysis and post-processing applications. 

At OxTS, Inertial Navigation Systems have been their focus for over 25 years. Rather than use expensive sensors, like Fiber Optic Gyroscopes (FOG) or Ring Laser Gyroscopes (RLG), they’ve always opted to develop advanced sensor fusion algorithms and sophisticated calibration techniques to squeeze the necessary performance out of more economical, smaller and lighter sensors. The result is a more commercially-viable range of options that can be deployed at scale.

Every OxTS GNSS/INS provides accurate position, orientation and dynamics measurements in real-time at up to 250 Hz. While each model offers a unique set of specifications and characteristics, they all leverage an OxTS inertial measurement unit and dual-antenna RTK GNSS capability, can be shipped internationally without requiring an export licence, and qualify for free-of-charge support from the OxTS Support team.

The range of software solutions that helps OxTS GNSS/INS users get the most out of their devices include:

• NAVsuite: When a user purchases an INS from OxTS, they receive the NAVsuite application software free of charge. NAVsuite allows a user to configure, monitor, post-process and analyse their INS data. This includes: NAVdisplay, NAVdisplay beta, NAVsolve, NAVgraph and NAVbase. NAVsuit can be used to interact with your OxTS device, configure devices for all applications, monitor multiple devices in real-time, troubleshoot on the fly, and collect data from market-leading hardware.
• OxTS Georeferencer: OxTS Georeferencer is a software tool developed by OxTS that combines navigation data from an INS, with LiDAR data from a range of sensors to create an accurate georeferenced point cloud. Through a simple ‘drag-and-drop’ method, OxTS Georeferencer will take a processed navigation trajectory file (from both OxTS and third-party INS devices) and at the touch of a button, use it to georeference LiDAR data to create a LAS point cloud file that can be viewed in many third party LiDAR software packages. OxTS Georeferencer also has a built-in boresight calibration tool that will align the coordinate frames of the sensors on a payload to eliminate pointcloud blurring and double-vision.
• OxTS ROS Drivers: The ROS (Robot Operating System) provides open-source libraries and tools to help software developers create autonomous and robotic applications. The OxTS ROS Driver provides an interface for OxTS INS products, such as the AV200, and decodes the NCOM output to provide position, velocity, orientation and other navigation data in the ROS message format for consumption in a wider ROS network. The interface allows developers to easily integrate the OxTS systems into their stack and utilise the combined GNSS and IMU sensor fusion for precise position, localisation, and dynamic control. 
• RT-Range Suite: The RT-Range software enables Engineers to configure accurate ADAS test scenarios, that are compatible with industry safety standards such as Euro NCAP, IIHS and others. Engineers can survey lanes to generate map files, configure detailed 2D profiles of Hunter and Target vehicles, as well as map up to 12 independent sensor points and their field of view on the Hunter vehicle. Alongside real-time monitoring systems and a post-processing application, the RT-Range software provides precise Vehicle-to-Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure measurements for end-to-end ADAS testing.

Services

OxTS offer end-to-end support services to power the performance of your INS. They provide calibrations, support and training for INS and RT-ANA products with customers being able to choose between two different calibration services: a basic version or an ISO 17025 calibration. OxTS also offer custom development projects, offering cooperation on any bespoke products to integrate OxTS products and board-sets into existing or future systems.

Connect with OxTS here to discover how they can help use their expertise to support your leap into an autonomous future.

To meet with OxTS and discuss your off-highway vehicle solution needs, network with peers and solution providers and attend talks from industry leaders, book your place to attend the 4th Autonomous Off-Highway Machinery Technology Summit will be taking place May 21-22, 2025 in Berlin, Germany.
