Belgium ESA Business Incubation Centre-supported start-up company Navtronics is developing intelligent guidance based on advanced satnav solutions tailored for agricultural machinery. By combining satnav signals with a reference station for realtime corrections, the Navtronics systems can provide up to centimetre-level accuracy, preventing double spraying of pesticides or applying improved mechanical weeding in organic farming. Navtronics’s development is supported by ESA Technology Transfer Programme’s Business Incubation Centre Flanders.
