Investment funds Kickstart Venlo (Rabobank) and LBDF (Province of Limburg), co-invest with the founders \u20ac 600,000 in Accerion<\/a>. This startup emerged in the High Tech XL program late last year at the High Tech Campus<\/a> in Eindhoven. With this investment Accerion is their technology – which focuses on a sensor positioning for logistic vehicles – continue to develop and market.<\/p>\n

\"PastedGraphic-4\"<\/a>Accerion has developed a module for robots and vehicles to\u00a0navigate independently. This will make navigation inside buildings easier and cheaper. The sensor determines the exact position of the robot without the need for expensive infrastructure. This provides advantages in logistics and production. Accerion’s\u00a0technique enables extensive automation, even in dynamic environments where humans and machines are moving continuously.<\/p>\n

Accerion’s sensors can replace existing sensors. In this way it is possible\u00a0to improve an existing vehicle or robot. In addition, the technique can be included in new vehicles. Founder Willem-Jan Lamers: “We always develop in collaboration with our customers. The pilots we are active in, ensure that we follow\u00a0what is important in the market.”<\/p>\n

Vincent Burg, co-founder: “This investment allows us to further develop our product and introduce it in the market. In addition to funding, we expect to get much value from the cooperation with these experienced investors.”<\/p>\n

The market launch of the positioning system is scheduled for early 2017. Accerion sees an important role for robotics in our lives and aims to create truly autonomous robots. Accerion successfully graduated from\u00a0the HighTechXL business accelerator at High Tech Campus Eindhoven in 2015. This was where the first contacts with existing investors were established. Accerion then moved to Venlo. Venlo offers opportunities as a logistics hotspot close to Germany, an industrial country. Next week Accerion will present its products at the Hanover Fair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
