positioning engine
Location starts here
Precise location isn’t simply a measurement from a receiver — it’s the fusion of these measurements along with sensor data in real time by a Positioning Engine. We use PhD-level computations to output highly accurate positions 20 times a second even in the most challenging conditions.
purpose built
Platform aware motion model
Off-the-shelf localization software treats every device the same. We don’t. Our Positioning Engine understands the difference between a human and a drone, ensuring your device stays on track even with low cost sensors in challenging environments.
DEAD RECKONING
Confidence with or without GNSS
Our dead-reckoning algorithms bridge the gap when GNSS signals disappear. By tightly fusing IMU, odometry, and motion data, the Positioning Engine maintains precise tracking indoors, underground, and everywhere in between.
CONTINUOUS TRACKING
Keeps position stable through tunnels, warehouses, and urban canyons — even without satellite input.
MOTION MODELING
Applies adaptive filters and physics-based models to fine tune IMU models and aid in GNSS tracking.
SEAMLESS HANDOFF
Transitions smoothly between GNSS and inertial navigation for uninterrupted trajectory data.
sensor fusion
Make your sensors smarter, automatically
Our Positioning Engine continuously refines sensor inputs in real time. Using advanced fusion and filtering, it corrects bias, drift, and noise — delivering centimeter-level accuracy across IMUs, magnetometers, and wheel encoders.
AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION
Continuously analyzes and re-weights sensor inputs in real time to maintain accuracy as conditions change.
ERROR COMPENSATION
Identifies and corrects sensor-specific bias, IMU drift, and encoder scaling to keep data stable and reliable.
real-time feedback loop
Feeds corrections back into the system instantly, improving precision with every movement.
HARDWARE-AGNOSTIC
Runs on any platform
Our Positioning Engine is built to perform anywhere — from embedded modules to external processors. It delivers identical accuracy across architectures, giving OEMs control over integration, performance, and power.
CROSS-ARCHITECTURE SUPPORT
Runs natively on lightweight MCUs and high-performance processors alike.
PORTABLE CORE
Written in C/C++ for easy integration into custom hardware and software stacks.
FLEXIBLE DEPLOYMENT
Supports on-module, companion, or external configurations — without sacrificing precision.
how it WORKS
An army of PhDs for your team
The Positioning Engine runs advanced estimation in real time—Kalman filters, sensor fusion, error propagation, and motion models. It reconciles multipath, cycle slips, IMU drift, and odometry errors into a coherent pose solution that stays stable even when signals don’t.
