THE ANELLO GNSS INS FOR AUTONOMY IN ORCHARDS

The ANELLO GNSS INS has emerged as a breakthrough solution for precision agriculture, delivering reliable and accurate inertial navigation in GPS-denied environments. This case study examines how the ANELLO GNSS INS, powered by our proprietary optical gyroscope (SiPhOG™), is transforming autonomous operations in GPS-denied orchard environments.

BACKGROUND

Orchards present unique challenges for GPS-based inertial navigation systems due to dense tree canopies that can obstruct satellite signals. Traditional GPS systems often struggle to maintain accurate positioning in these environments, leading to inefficiencies and potential errors in autonomous agricultural operations.

THE ANELLO GNSS INS SOLUTION
  The ANELLO GNSS INS combines advanced optical gyroscope technology with an AI-based sensor fusion 
  

   engine to deliver high-accuracy positioning and orientation, even in GPS-denied conditions.

Key features that make the ANELLO GNSS INS ideal for orchard applications include:

ANELLO Optical Gyroscope Technology
Unaided heading drift of < 0.5°/hr
Dual multi-band RTK-capable GNSS engines
Fault-tolerant with Triple Redundant Sensors
Ethernet and RS-232 Interfaces
Accurate positioning for up to 30 minutes in GPS-denied conditions
IP68 rating for resistance to dust, water, and chemicals

IMPLEMENTATION IN ORCHARD MANAGEMENT
Autonomous tractors equipped with the ANELLO GNSS INS can navigate precisely through orchard rows, performing tasks such as pruning, spraying, and harvesting with minimal human intervention. The system ability to maintain accurate
positioning even under dense canopies ensures consistent performance throughout the orchard.

RESULTS AND BENEFITS
Orchards implementing the ANELLO GNSS INS in their autonomous tractor systems have reported several key benefits:

Improved Accuracy
Precise navigation between tree rows, reducing the risk of damage
to trees and equipment.

Increased Efficiency
Autonomous operations can be conducted 24/7, optimizing
resource utilization.

Enhanced Safety
Reduced need for human operators in potentially hazardous conditions.

Better Crop Management
Precise and efficient application of inputs (water, fertilizers, pesticides) based on exact positioning data.
