In modern industry, being precise is the key to getting more done. Whether you are driving a tractor through a rice field or using an excavator on a busy city construction site, accuracy matters. Even a few centimeters can be the difference between a job that is "just okay" and one that is perfect.
That is why we are excited to introduce StellarFusion, our new global positioning service. Using the latest state-space augmentation technology, StellarFusion breaks down the barriers of location and poor signals. It delivers reliable signals to achieve centimeter-level positioning accuracy no matter where you are in the world.
What Is StellarFusion?
StellarFusion is more than just a correction signal; it is a smart, software-based correction service platform. In addition to a massive amount of data from ground base stations, the platform also combines data from multiple satellite sources and uses a powerful cloud engine to fix location errors instantly.
By sending these corrections through the internet, satellites, or a mix of both, StellarFusion makes sure working machines stay on the right path, even in areas with no local base stations.
Three Modes, Zero Limits
Every job site presents unique challenges. Some have 5G signals everywhere; others are in "dead zones" where even a cell phone won't work. StellarFusion offers three distinct service modes to ensure you are never left without a signal.
StellarFusion NRTK: High-Speed Network Precision
Designed for regions with stable network connectivity and dense base station distribution, the NRTK (Network RTK) service is the most accessible high-precision solution. It is currently available across Europe, North America, South America, Oceania, China, and Japan, with more regions coming soon.
- Cost-Effective: Achieve centimeter-level accuracy via a simple software update. No additional hardware is required for most FJD autosteering and guidance systems.
- Zero Configuration: True "plug-and-play" functionality. Once powered on and connected to the internet, the system configures itself automatically.
- Optimized for Leveling: When within 3 km of a base station, vertical accuracy reaches within 2.5 cm, making it a game-changer for land leveling and drainage projects.
StellarFusion Orbital: Precision from Satellites
What happens when you are in a remote desert, a mountainous region, or a vast "no-man's land" without an internet connection? StellarFusion Orbital is the answer. This satellite-based augmentation service delivers corrections directly from satellites to your receiver.
- Global Land Coverage: Works across the entire global landmass, requiring no internet or local base stations.
- Impressive Accuracy: Delivers horizontal accuracy of <3 cm and elevation accuracy of <6 cm.
- Hardware Ready: Requires specific hardware setup and is optimized for FJD devices, such as the FJD StarNav Satellite-Based GNSS Receiver.
StellarFusion Hybrid: The Combo of NRTK and Orbital
Currently under development and coming soon, StellarFusion Hybrid represents the future of seamless positioning. Requiring additional hardware support, it combines the rapid convergence of Network RTK with the wide-area reliability of satellite corrections.
- Seamless Switching: Use Network RTK in town, and as you drive into the suburbs or onto a highway where signals might drop, the system automatically switches to a satellite link.
- Uninterrupted Uptime: Guarantees centimeter-level positioning with rapid response times throughout the entire journey.
Versatility Across Industries
StellarFusion isn't just for one type of machine; it is a universal solution for the era of autonomy. Here are some typical scenarios where StellarFusion can work seamlessly:
Precision Agriculture
StellarFusion helps everything from self-driving tractors to smart sprayers work with precision. By staying accurate within 2.5 cm, the system helps farmers stop wasting fuel and chemicals on overlapping rows. This means farmers can get the best possible harvest from their land, even when working on tough terrain or in difficult lighting conditions.
Construction Machinery
On tough jobsites, precision saves time and money. StellarFusion provides high-accuracy positioning for excavators, dozers, and pavers. This allows for automated grading and digging that adheres strictly to digital site plans, reducing the need for manual staking.
Surveying & Mapping
For surveyors, time is money. StellarFusion works with handheld measuring equipment to provide global, high-accuracy positioning right out of the box. They don't need to spend hours setting up local base stations; and they can just turn on their device and connect with StellarFusion to start mapping.
Lawncare & Public Works
Robotic mowers and autonomous street sweepers require stable positioning to navigate complex urban environments. StellarFusion enables these machines to plan and execute precise routes, ensuring every corner is covered safely and efficiently.
Flexible Access for Any Job
At FJDynamics, high precision should be available to everyone, whether you are a solo contractor or managing a huge fleet of machines. That is why StellarFusion offers flexible plans that fit the way you work.
You can choose a daily pass for a quick project or a yearly plan for a full farming season. This "pay-as-you-go" style means you only pay for the service when you actually need it, making it an affordable choice for any business.
Unlocking Global Accuracy with StellarFusion
Precision is no longer a luxury reserved for those with perfect signals. With StellarFusion, centimeter-level accuracy is now accessible, flexible, and truly global. From the field to the jobsite, our NRTK, Orbital, and Hybrid modes ensure you never lose your way.
