Accerion

🚀 How we guarantee Triton’s performance and improve our floor compatibility Delivering consistent performance is our top priority. We’re committed to optimizing robot performance across various environments—from the rough concrete floors of warehouses to the unique surfaces in production facilities. To guarantee consistent performance and reliability, we’ve developed a thorough 3-point process: 🏅 Guaranteed Performance for Whitelisted Floors: For concrete and other approved floors, Triton’s performance is guaranteed. 🧪 Floor Qualification: We know that every environment is different. That’s why, for floors not on our whitelist, we conduct a quick and simple floor qualification procedure. This step ensures Triton works seamlessly in your specific environment and helps us expand our whitelist. 🔧 Adaptation: If the results don’t meet expectations for your specific floor type and use case, our flooring partners are ready to assist. They’ll help adjust the floor to meet Triton’s requirements, ensuring you get the most out of our technology (and provides us with valuable insights to continually improve our software). We challenge you: get in touch with us and send us pictures of the most challenging environment you encountered in your operation👇

🔧 Developers, developers, developers When it comes to configuring Triton, the Accerion Control Center offers a powerful graphical interface. It's perfect for tasks like sending maps to Triton or adjusting network settings. But when you're deep into integrating Triton into your robot, a command-line tool can be a preferred. We heard you. That's why we've developed a command-line interface (CLI) that: 🎯 Is freely available in our SDK (https://lnkd.in/eCE2bB2t) 🔗 Connects to a sensor using either IP address or serial number 🔄 Lets you easily toggle modes and send/get files Whether you're developing your robot solution with Triton or need to batch transfer maps to a fleet, our CLI is designed to streamline your workflow. Developers, what’s your go-to: GUI or CLI? Let us know in the comments👇

🚀 Multi-story Navigation Simplified with Triton As warehouse automation continues to surge, optimizing space is more crucial than ever. Multi-story warehouses are becoming more common, with robots moving between floors via elevators. But how does Triton handle the complexity when each floor shares the same footprint and coordinate system? 🗺️ Multiple Maps: Triton allows you to store maps for each floor, identified by unique IDs (e.g., ID 1 for the first floor, ID 2 for the second, etc.). 🔄 Instant Switching: When a robot transitions between floors, Triton switches maps in under a second, ensuring zero workflow disruption.

Toen we onze AGV (Automatisch Geleide Voertuig) ontwikkelden, wilden we dezelfde efficiënte lijnvolging bieden als bij traditionele AGV’s, maar zonder de tijdrovende en dure verbouwingskosten van een inductielijn. We kozen bewust ook niet voor een AMR (Autonome Mobiele Robot) met uitgebreide, ingewikkelde en vaak dure software. De oplossing? Rijden op basis van vloerstructuur, waarvoor we zelf de software hebben ontwikkeld die een virtuele lijn creëert. Dit zorgt niet alleen voor aanzienlijke kostenbesparingen, maar maakt de implementatie ook nog eens flexibel en razendsnel. 🚀 Routes kunnen later makkelijk aangepast of uitgebreid worden. Het is dus meestal niet nodig om voor een AMR te kiezen.

🚀 At Accerion, we embarked on a mission to overcome a significant hurdle in automation: unlocking reliability, flexibility and speed for mobile robots. Traditional technologies like Lidar-SLAM often struggle in dynamic settings, while others require extensive infrastructure or lack the necessary accuracy. Our breakthrough? We turned to the floor. Initially, many doubted our approach, but the Jupiter prototype silenced skeptics. The Jupiter V1 became the first commercial solution enabling larger mobile robots to navigate reliably without any infrastructure. It was an engineering triumph, equipped with two camera’s, mirrors and telecentric lenses that delivered outstanding absolute localization and visual odometry. Despite the positive reception, one challenge persisted: “Will it fit in my mobile robot?” We listened. In record time, we developed a single-camera prototype with comparable functionality. Fast-forward to 2020, and we launched Triton V1: delivering the same exceptional localization performance in a significantly smaller form factor. The Triton V1.1 brought further improvements, with enhanced thermal design and software updates that boosted visual odometry to rival its dual-camera predecessor. Its design was also optimized for mass production, leading us to declare the Jupiter end-of-life. Just a year after its debut, we celebrated the shipment of our 1000th Triton V1.1, a milestone marked by a gold anodized model from one of our suppliers. Now, in 2024, we’re proud to announce that over 3,000 robots are powered by Triton. We’re deeply grateful to our partners and early adopters who believed in our vision and helped make this journey possible. Get in touch now via: https://shorturl.at/w4dIy

Triton's Unmatched Accuracy at high speed 🚀 Accuracy equals performance. When localization is noisy and inaccurate, your robot paths must be planned further apart to avoid collisions. In a racks-to-person order fulfillment setup, this increased clearance means you need more space to store the same amount of goods. Poor Lidar localization, improperly placed codes, and inaccurate odometry can degrade your system's performance. For instance, maintaining a 10cm clearance between 75cm wide racks instead of just 1cm results in needing 25% more space to store the same amount of goods. 😱 Meet Triton. With its unrivaled accuracy, even at speeds of 2.5m/s, Triton maintains exceptional performance no matter how busy or dynamic the environment. Having already boosted the productivity of over 3,000 mobile robots and AGVs, Triton is ready to revolutionize your operations too. Ready to optimize your space and improve your efficiency?

🔧 Fix Unreliable Lidar Localization with Triton Lidar localization is great for achieving decent results with minimal setup effort. But as environments change—something that's inevitable in intralogistics—performance can quickly degrade. That’s where Triton shines. By integrating Triton’s floor-based localization with Lidar, you achieve consistent, reliable performance regardless of environmental changes. 🌟 So how does mapping the floor work? Just drive your robot where you need a map: 🗺️ Long Hallways: Use quick zig-zag mapping for frequent Triton poses (see video below) 🌍 Large Open Areas: Create a map with a coarse grid to localize in large areas. 🎯 Docking Stations: Map a line for constant pose updates. You have options: start quickly with joystick control, automate mapping for larger sites with your navigation stack, or let Triton handle it on-the-fly and generate the map as you move.

📋 Pushing Our Software to Its Limits: Ensuring robust localization on real-world floors Warehouses are rarely perfect: expansion gaps, painted lines, tape on the floor, old QR markers—no floor is flawless. Therefore, we commit to exhaustive testing to guarantee our software's reliability before it reaches our customers. Our system-level release test covers two common use cases: free navigation and virtual line-following. Here's how our free navigation test works: 📏 Autonomous Mapping: We create a detailed floor map with grid lines. 🚀 Free Navigation: Robots navigate using odometry and Triton’s absolute localization, following a standard trajectory. 📊 Data gathering: Triton logs extensive data to assess performance. 📝 Automatic Reporting: Based on the logged data, an automatic report is generated to ensure the software meets our strict criteria.
