Q15 How should navigation suppliers be compared?
Start with product category and delivery scope. GNSS receivers, integrated INS components, fusion platforms and services perform different roles. Compare application, sensing, interfaces, licensing and acceptance conditions without reducing an entire supplier to one capability.
Q16 How does this compare with visual or laser SLAM?
GNSS adds an absolute reference; SLAM estimates pose and maps from environmental observations. They can complement each other. Compare texture, lighting, geometry, moving objects, map maintenance and drift for the actual task.
Q17 How does it relate to ground RTK services?
A correction service supplies data; terminal fusion estimates device state. These are different layers. Network corrections, local bases and satellite delivery can be combined subject to regional coverage and compatibility.
Q18 How are navigation and dispatch systems separated?
The navigation terminal supplies pose and sensing information. Planning, dispatch, machine control and safety follow the system architecture. Confirm maps, avoidance and mission software against the delivery list. Integration with an existing controller does not imply replacing the complete machine system.
Q19 Does one platform mean one responsible party?
An integrated platform simplifies troubleshooting of the navigation module. A complete project still needs responsibility boundaries for sensors, interfaces, chassis, payloads, software and site conditions, with support contacts and useful logs.
