SIGMATEK SLAM Navigation in Real Time - New Features
SIGMATEK's real-time localization software SlamLoc revolutionizes the way automated guided vehicle systems and autonomous mobile robots handle changes in their environment using contour-based navigation.

The system is ready for operation in just a few minutes, does not need pre-installed plans and determines a position accurate to ±10 mm and ±0.1° in real time – even with drastic contour changes.
New Software Features Implemented
To make the SlamLoc software even more precise and efficient, three new features have been added: With Freestyle Localize, the system can localize without a predetermined map, by scanning and analyzing the environment in real time. It therefore allows flexible navigation within the range of the scanner.
The function Trailer Find allows an AGV/AMR to move to an open gate in a warehouse and locate and measure the truck trailer situated there – even if it is typically located outside the predefined map. To ensure optimal loading or unloading, Freestyle Localize enables the vehicle to locate itself accurately in the trailer and act accordingly.
Thanks to Scanner Switch, SlamLoc can switch to a different scanner during operation. If a scanner is covered – by a load, for example – it is possible to switch to another (additionally mounted) scanner without the vehicle having to stop or stand still. This saves braking and acceleration processes, which in turn ensures a longer battery life.
