R&D with explitia. Project funded by the European Funds for Silesia 2021–2027
explitia has received support from the European Union to carry out an innovative R&D project
explitia has received support from the European Union to carry out an innovative R&D project – the development of a hybrid, scalable object localization and tracking system based on 3D environment mapping.
Description of the project funded by the European Funds and its objectives
The project funded by the European Funds for Silesia 2021–2027 aims to develop a SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) system that integrates data from vision cameras and UWB (Ultra Wideband) technology. This will enable:
- detailed 3D mapping of the production space,
- tracking of moving objects (e.g. forklifts, AGV/AMR, racks),
- real-time data analysis, including the generation of heatmaps and spaghetti diagrams,
- route planning and work optimization by eliminating bottlenecks,
- automatic calibration of new objects in the system.
Advantages of the system developed with EU funding
The modern R&D system has been designed to operate in difficult conditions (e.g. dust, poor lighting, electromagnetic interference).
Thanks to its functionalities, it will accelerate the implementation of autonomous transport and logistics solutions in industrial plants.
Target groups of the project
The project will bring direct benefits to the following groups:
- manufacturing and logistics companies (including the automotive sector),
- operators of production halls and warehouses,
- integrators of automation and logistics solutions.
