When GPS is unstable
Satellite position is no longer a reliable reference
Interference and loss of signal can break familiar navigation workflows in the field.
ColumbusPositioning for agricultural machinery
Navigation that does not depend on GPS
Columbus determines machine motion and position from onboard cameras, IMU and machine data. Local operation continues where satellite signals are limited or unavailable.

Problem and solution
A stable reference when satellites go quiet
Conventional navigation can lose its reference under satellite jamming, spoofing or signal shadowing. Columbus keeps the critical positioning loop onboard the machine.
With Columbus
A local motion model keeps the machine oriented
Cameras, inertial sensors and machine data form a coherent onboard reference.
How it works
From the physical world to a path
Columbus Computer performs critical processing onboard. The app remains the operator terminal, presenting video, telemetry, guidance and honest system state.
Onboard cameras
Visual odometry reads motion in the real field environment.
IMU and machine
Orientation, dynamics and available machine signals complete the picture.
Sensor Fusion
Columbus Computer normalizes sources and forms navigation state.
Guidance
The operator sees the path, offset and the honest state of each source.
Columbus + AGAT
Autonomous locally. Connected as a system.
Critical Columbus navigation does not depend on LTE, cloud services or AGAT.VISION. AGAT integration adds shared equipment context and coordinated data exchange without moving onboard responsibility into the cloud.
✓Columbus Computer owns vision, IMU, Guidance and machine data
✓The app gives the operator video, telemetry and diagnostics
✓AGAT extends the product with an equipment-management ecosystem
