Modular positioning solutions for autonomy

Customise your positioning system to scale with you from development to production.

An autonomous farm machine in a field

Advancing autonomy in off-road applications like agriculture comes with its fair share of challenges. Every step forward reveals new obstacles, and even when solutions are found, the result isn’t always the most efficient or scalable path to production.

At Hexagon, we deliver robust, field-proven positioning solutions that offer the accuracy and reliability needed to move from concept to production with confidence. Our products are designed to scale and integrate seamlessly into your equipment, providing advanced solutions tailored to the demands of the agriculture industry.

Modularity

Our modular approach ensures that your investment in agricultural equipment, whether manually operated or autonomous, remains valuable over time. NovAtel’s SMART Antennas combine a board-level GNSS receiver and GNSS antenna into a compact, high-precision, and rugged enclosure. Built to last, these versatile systems allow you to add firmware options as your needs evolve, while benefiting from ongoing performance improvements through regular updates.

Support

Beyond delivering exceptional technology, Hexagon is committed to your success. Our dedicated support team is ready to assist with integration, training, and troubleshooting, ensuring your systems perform at their best and are optimised for your application.

What type of positioning solution are you looking for? 

If your main concern is positioning and you don’t need high-accuracy heading. Take a look at our single antenna solution.

If you're looking for both precise positioning and high-accuracy heading, even when the vehicle is stationary or moving slowly. Explore our dual antenna with integrated heading solution.

But if you’re unsure about which solution best fits your needs, no problem! Contact our sales team. They’ll help you identify the right solution for your current setup and future plans.
