Trimble, VayaVision Establish Alliance to Make Intelligent Automation Even Smarter

By PR Newswire

Trimble and VayaVision, a LeddarTech Company, have announced an alliance that will bring advanced perception technology to the agriculture, construction, and mining markets. The integration of VayaVision’s raw data sensor fusion and perception software platform with Trimble’s existing industry-leading machine control technology can enable intelligent automation in complex work environments. Together, Trimble and VayaVision expect to provide an innovative hardware and software portfolio, improving autonomous machine performance for a variety of industries.

The alliance is focused on advancing data fusion for multi-sensor systems such as LiDAR, cameras and GNSS. These sensors are used to produce reliable environmental mapping, which is critical for autonomous solutions. The result is expected to enable improvements in the performance of autonomous machines operating in challenging work environments or when supporting safety-critical applications.

Both companies will collaborate to advance autonomous development and adoption with a customizable portfolio that can potentially benefit agriculture, construction and mining professionals in several ways by:

Improving operational efficiency, decreasing labor costs and reducing project timelines.
Helping customers scale their automation efforts—from driver assistance features to fully autonomous solutions.
Offering a flexible, customer-centric approach to product engineering and implementation.
Reducing customer development costs and accelerating time to market with machine automation.
Augmenting or replacing human control to create a safer work environment through path optimization, obstacle avoidance and situational awareness.
Improving sustainability by optimizing vehicle functionality and utilization with automation to reduce idle time, fuel consumption and environmental impact.
