Trimble and TDK group company InvenSense have entered a partnership to deliver an advanced navigation solution that combines the Trimble ProPoint Go engine and Trimble RTX correction service with the TDK SmartAutomotive inertial measurement units (IMUs) module from InvenSense.

The solution is expected to deliver high-level accuracy for automotive and IoT applications including autonomous vehicles, drones and industrial machinery.

The Trimble ProPoint Go positioning engine is designed to deliver high-accuracy position and orientation data by using internationally accessible Trimble correction services. With quad-frequency GNSS signal support and Trimble ProPoint Go’s automotive safety integrity level-C (ASIL-C) certified correction data, this positioning ecosystem is said to help companies enhance their automated driving capabilities with a focus on safety. It also helps drive accuracy for IoT applications such as field robotics.

TDK IMUs integrate a triaxial accelerometer and a triaxial gyroscope in a compact six-axis motion sensor to detect the linear acceleration and angular velocity of vehicles and objects with a high level of accuracy. With its proprietary six-axis and MEMS fabrication platform, TDK inertial sensors are said to enhance application possibilities.

“Together with TDK we are bringing the power of high-accuracy and precise positioning along with state-of-the art ASIL-certified sensors to help our customers build innovative solutions for automotive and IoT markets,” said Olivier Casabianca, vice president for advanced positioning at Trimble. “As we continue to expand our positioning services with TDK and other Tier 1 companies, we are powering the connected world while ensuring the safety and accuracy of connected systems.”

The integrated solution can be adapted to a wide range of applications, such as automotive positioning, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X), field robotics and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), offering high versatility.

“Inertial and positioning data have become critical in enabling automation, improving efficiency and monitoring conditions,” said Stefano Zanella, automotive motion VP and general manager, TDK. “Building on almost a decade of collaboration with Trimble, we are delighted to take our efforts to the next level: by offering an integrated solution, we empower customers to accelerate deployment, streamline integration and maximize the value of this transformative technology.”

The TDK automotive safety IMU components, developed as SEooC according to ISO 26262, are suitable for applications with requirements up to ASIL-D. In addition to its six-axis solution, TDK provides quality-managed solutions that also include a three-axis magnetometer in a nine-axis solution.
