Inertial Navigation System For Mobile robots or autonomous mobile robots are being increasingly used for domestic as well as industrial and other applications. Autonomous Mobile robots are the robots which move from one place to other in order to accomplish a given task. As it is quite intuitive, such robots will certainly need navigational assistance to travel from one point to the other.

A large number of vehicles and equipment like dumper trucks, trucks with tipping bodies and cranes are used in construction industry. The application for which these equipment are used, involves loading, unloading or transporting construction material. It is highly recommended to use a tilt sensor or a tilt switch on these vehicles or equipment for safe operation.

Trucks with tipping bodies find their use in numerous applications, mostly relating to mining, transporting or moving minerals, cement, coal, construction material, sand, etc. from one place to another. For instance, a dumper truck will use body tipping to unload the goods. While some vehicles use simple tipping, few other applications require more complex forms of tipping such as three-way tipping.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, more commonly know as Drones, are finding increasing use in numerous applications. Earlier limited to military and geo mapping and referencing tasks, drones are already being put to use for tasks like parcel delivery, hurricane hunting, agriculture land monitoring etc.

Traditionally, inertial navigation has been an expensive technology which limited its application to high-end military vehicles, precision-guided missiles or aircraft. Since the advent of MEMS technology and low-cost gyroscopes and accelerometers, inertial navigation is now being deployed even in cost-sensitive & low-powered applications such as for soldier and personal navigation.

Use of robots for domestic as well as commercial purposes is growing rapidly. As the cost of robots goes down and their versatility increases, a lot more of tasks and chores would be performed by robots. Precise and accurate navigational assistance is absolutely essential for robots to function properly and carry out their ordered tasks.

An invention of fossil fuel powered vehicles brought about a big shift in our lives. Faster and convenient transportation has improved productivity and has led to accelerated growth in every sector. The focus is now shifting from manned to unmanned transportation. Research has really picked up in the past few years and unmanned vehicles are being used for a variety of critical applications. As the technology evolves, unmanned vehicles are expected to be replacing human-driven vehicles.

Automatic weather stations are extensively used to collect data from sites and locations which are remote, difficult to access or even from other locations to save the human labor and avoid human error.

Gyroscopes are the most important part of an inertial navigation system or any guidance system. Gyroscopes were invented a century ago and have been used as references to know the inertial state of a moving body. From Kettering bug to the Apollo spacecraft, the quality of gyro has determined the performance of the overall mission. It has been a factor behind ‘make or break’ of the many missions.

Tilt sensors significantly impact the output of solar power plants (CSP) and hence, are commonly used for solar tracking. Though the importance of solar tracking and the boost in production due to it is proven, there is a lot of confusion around how this systems works and what are the expected gains out of it. We often receive many queries and questions regarding the effectiveness of tilt sensors for solar tracking and their advantage. This article tries to explain just that.

Professionals like architects, engineers, surveyors, and contractors working in the construction industry always keep with them a comprehensive toolkit for carrying out different measurements on site. Of all the parameters that need to be measured on site during design as well as construction phases, alignment and level are very critical ones.

A digital magnetic compass is an indispensable part of any ship or vessel sailing in the sea. A digital magnetic compass consists of a magnetometer which relies on earth’s magnetic field to indicate the direction.

Different types of cranes, man lifts, and dump trucks are used across the industry for various applications where movement of material (humans in case of man lifts) is intended. These cranes can be used to carry heavy material as well as human beings from one location to the other or to a specific elevation. Maintaining crane safety is important as any mishap might lead to damage to material or human beings.

The energy output of a photo-voltaic solar plant is closely linked to the efficiency of the solar modules using which the solar panels are made. It is needless to mention that numerous designs and configurations are being developed and tried out to further enhance the output of the modules.

As we all would agree, solar power, especially the installation of floating solar power plants have gained significant popularity and acceptance in the energy sector. PV installations have proved to be cost efficient and carbon-light way of producing every from the solar radiation.

Weather conditions, including the temperature in which the solar panels are operating, have a considerable effect on the performance of the solar panels. It might sound counter-intuitive to many of us, but low temperature actually boosts the performance of the solar panels. Solar panels, like any other electronic device, are more productive at low temperatures. As the ambient temperature increases, the efficiency of the panels drops down.

The efficiency of the PV solar panels is largely dependent on the ambient conditions and several factors come into the picture to determine the actual efficiency of panels during their operation. One such factor is soiling.

Weather monitoring stations are must from the compliance point of view as well as for efficient management of any solar plants. Many times, plant owners as well as EPC agencies are confused while selecting weather monitoring stations for their plant.This article puts together all the factors which should be considered while selecting as well as installing a WMS on the solar power plant.

The efficiency of PV solar plants is a major concern for the plant owners as well as the financing agency. A slight variation in the efficiency of a PV plant will significantly affect the energy generation.

Farming is a labor intensive activity. Most agricultural activities require some or the other kind of manual intervention. Plowing is no exception.While the use of tractors has transformed the way plowing is done, the tractors still need a human driver to control them. While people are migrating to cities, there is a dearth of human labor in these remote farm locations.

Water is probably the most important natural resource, second only to air! While water is available in sufficient quantities for all human requirements, non-uniform distribution of water in different parts of the world and even within a country makes wise use of water and understanding water quality not only a necessity but the very crucial factor for day-to-day life and activities.

With the increasing push for renewable energy, the number of installations of photovoltaic solar plants is rising steeply. While a solar power plant essentially captures the freely and abundantly available solar energy, large one time and on-going costs are associated with commissioning and maintaining a solar power plant.

Even though weather monitoring stations (WMS) are designed to perform in extreme weather conditions, certain precautions need to be taken to avoid damages in the rainy seasons.

Crop produce around the world is largely dependent on local weather conditions. Other than few crops which are cultivated in greenhouses or controlled environments, most of the agricultural activity is very closely linked to atmospheric conditions.

Weather Monitoring Station (WMS) is one of the most crucial instruments installed in Solar PV Power plants. A weather monitoring station can be immensely helpful in monitoring the efficiency and performance of any solar power plant.

One of the most common questions that our clients ask us is what is the number of WMS that they need to install so as to satisfactorily monitor the complete plant.

Location of the weather monitoring station significantly affects the data gathered and reported by it. It is observed that many times

To generate maximum power from the solar PV modules, the solar panels must be pointed in the right direction so as to capture most of the energy from the sun rays.
