OEM integration · technical evaluation

RTK for OEMs: what to verify before integration.

A practical guide to assess a connected machine's positioning path before defining a proposal, pilot or integration plan.

A practical evaluation

Four checks before discussing performance.

Every OEM architecture is different. The evaluation starts with the device, operating conditions and the process that will manage the integration.

Industrial machine with a GNSS receiver on a construction site
01OEM

Technical compatibility

Verify the GNSS receiver, controller and the way the device receives RTCM or NTRIP corrections.

Machine connected to a cloud service for connectivity
02OEM

Area and connectivity

Define where the machine operates, what connectivity it uses and the real conditions that need to be considered.

Devices and receivers in a protected provisioning flow
03OEM

Credentials and continuity

Set provisioning, monitoring, support and the expected behaviour when connectivity is unavailable.

Autonomous vehicles travelling through different work areas during a test
04OEM

Test before scale

Validate the flow with an agreed device, area and requirements before turning it into a commercial proposal or campaign.

Starting questions

Define a pilot that produces a useful answer.

  1. 01Which GNSS receiver and controller does the product use?
  2. 02How does it receive corrections today: modem, SIM, data network or another architecture?
  3. 03Which areas must it operate in and what continuity requirements apply?
  4. 04Who manages credentials, installation and field support?
  5. 05Which bounded test can verify integration before expanding it?

From discussion to test

A short, traceable process subject to verification.

01

Discuss the existing architecture

02

Collect operating requirements

03

Define a bounded test

04

Review with the OEM team

RTK.bz

Verify device, area and requirements before proposing a pilot.

The initial discussion clarifies compatibility, connectivity, credentials and operational responsibilities. Performance and feasibility are defined only after the specific case is verified.

Discuss the project

RTK.bz works on positioning infrastructure for connected machines, alongside receivers, controllers and processes already present in the project.
