STEER Tech and KINEXON have formed a strategic partnership combining autonomous navigation software with real-time location systems (RTLS) for industrial autonomous vehicle applications. The collaboration targets depot operations, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) across warehouses, factories, and logistics centers.
Integrated systems are currently operational at sites in the United States, providing an end-to-end autonomy framework for logistics hubs.
Highlights
- Partnership integrates STEER Tech’s autonomy stack with KINEXON’s RTLS for enhanced indoor navigation precision
- Combined system supports AVs, AGVs, and AMRs across dynamic industrial environments
- Active deployments currently operational at U.S. facilities
- Solution designed as GPS alternative for indoor positioning applications
Technical Integration Details
The partnership combines KINEXON’s sensor technology and real-time position tracking data with STEER Tech’s autonomy stack and fleet platform. The integration targets improved localization accuracy and navigation reliability for autonomous vehicles operating in indoor industrial environments.
STEER Tech’s Command and Control Platform receives location data from KINEXON’s tracking systems to coordinate fleet movements and task assignments.
Operational Capabilities
The combined system delivers several functional improvements:
- Fleet coordination: Real-time visibility into vehicle status, location, and task progress
- Safety features: Enhanced obstacle detection, collision avoidance, and route optimization
- Scalability: Deployment architecture designed for large facilities with minimal integration complexity
