Trimble's Dual Antenna GNSS receiver and
real-time positioning service will provide centimeter-level
accuracy for farmers utilizing autonomous equipment
WESTMINSTER, Colo., Dec. 7, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) and Sabanto have announced
the integration of Trimble BX992 Dual Antenna GNSS receivers with
Trimble CenterPoint® RTX into Sabanto's autonomy
solutions. Trimble will act as Sabanto's key autonomous technology
provider, delivering high-accuracy positioning to its fleet.
Farmers need the highest level of uptime and reliability to
avoid service disruption. Leveraging Trimble's BX992 GNSS receiver
and satellite-delivered Trimble CenterPoint® RTX
corrections service, Sabanto's autonomy solutions can now receive
centimeter-level L-Band corrections nearly anywhere in the world.
With precise positioning and autonomous operation, farmers can
realize greater productivity, minimize downtime and input costs,
and alleviate workforce shortages through the use of autonomous
vehicles.
"In 2022, Trimble Ventures announced an investment with Sabanto
focused on autonomous workflows in farming applications. This
announcement underscores our goal to invest in early and
growth-stage companies that are accelerating innovation, digital
transformation and sustainability in the industries Trimble
serves," said Finlay Wood, general
manager, off-road autonomy, Trimble. "It's exciting to witness how
Trimble's technology and our Trimble Ventures relationship can
accelerate the adoption of autonomy in the agriculture industry, as
evidenced by this next phase of our collaboration with
Sabanto."
In addition to RTX corrections, Trimble will offer correction
stream-switching enabling farmers to automatically switch from IP
to satellite seamlessly, to provide the best signal in every
environment.
"With a customer base in agriculture, as well as municipalities
and airports with a remote environment, our customers are often in
areas without reliable cell service, so a reliable correction
signal is extremely important to keeping our autonomous machinery
working around the clock," said Craig Rupp, founder and CEO of
Sabanto. "It's exciting to see our two businesses find synergies
that will improve ag autonomy, delivering a better experience for
our farmers through continuous connectivity, regardless of the
environment."
About Sabanto
Headquartered in Itasca, Illinois, Sabanto's mission is to
accelerate autonomy in agricultural machinery to solve two primary
problems: (i) the increasingly acute scarcity of labor in rural
areas and (ii) the ever-increasing capital expenses of modern ag
machinery. Sabanto's core competency lies in low-cost retrofits to
existing agricultural machines, regardless of make or model, and
the development of supporting software to maximize the utility of
autonomous technology, increasing producer ROI. Learn more at
