Hi all,
We're developing a Real-Time Location System (RTLS) for vehicle navigation in industrial environments like warehouses and factories. We're considering using IMUs to estimate the 2D trajectory and orientation of vehicles.
However, due to the presence of metal structures and strong electrical currents, we're concerned that magnetometer-based orientation may be unreliable.
We’d appreciate advice on:
The best type of IMU for 2D navigation in such environments.
Whether to exclude magnetometers and rely only on gyroscopes and accelerometers.
Any recommended models or manufacturers for robust IMUs in noisy settings.
Suggestions for sensor fusion techniques that can improve accuracy without magnetic data.
Thanks in advance for your help!
