Logistics and terminal operations

By combining centimeter level positioning with additional sensing technology, Trimble delivers seamless positioning in the most challenging environments.

Trimble technologies offer robust and reliable positioning and orientation data for guidance of manned and unmanned machines in the most challenging GNSS reception environments. Industrial environments include container ports, multi-modal terminals, factory yards, airports, and more.

Customers and partners around the world rely on Trimble to create tailored system solutions for integration into machines like RTGs, straddle carriers, reach stackers, forklifts, trucks, and other specialized machinery and vehicles needed for critical operations.

Distribution centers

Trimble solutions provide long-term precision location and awareness information. So the data must be accurate enough to prevent voids between truck containers and docks that present a fall risk or package loss.

Warehousing

Trimble GNSS technology will enable the positioning of the automated guided vehicles, even when close to metal structures where multipath effects multiply and acquire that precise position quickly when moving from indoors (GNSS denied) to outdoors.

Airports

Airports are layered with potential GNSS signal interferences. Trimble supports operations like jet bridge positioning, tarmac vehicle location, baggage claim and parking valet robots with multipath mitigation technology.

Port operations

Ports and harbors present challenging environments. Trimble’s GNSS technology supports automation for major port vehicles (reach stackers, RTGs, terminal tractors, etc.) to improve operational productivity.
