Inertial navigation is an autonomous navigation system that does not rely on external information and is not easily affected by interference. Inertial navigation is achieved by AGVs measuring the acceleration of the carrier in an inertial reference frame, automatically performing calculations to obtain data such as the instantaneous acceleration and position of the cargo, and then applying this data to the navigation coordinate system to obtain data such as velocity and yaw angle position in the navigation coordinate system.
The advantage of inertial navigation lies in its ability to determine the position, orientation, and speed of goods without external reference once initial conditions are given. It is suitable for precise positioning and orientation in various complex geographical environments and under external interference, and can continuously measure changes in position, maintaining dynamic accuracy.
With the increasing demand for high technology in today's economy, people's understanding of inertial navigation technology is becoming more widespread and in-depth. The application fields of inertial navigation have expanded from military to civilian use, and from navigation and guidance to stabilization and control. Furthermore, efforts are being made to develop new technologies and products with market competitiveness.

Electrode foil is a key raw material in the manufacture of aluminum electrolysis containers. The rapid development of the electronics industry has also propelled the growth of the aluminum electrode foil industry. Simultaneously, the increasing urgency for miniaturization, high performance, and sheet-like designs in aluminum electrolysis containers places high demands on the technology and quality of electrode foil manufacturing, as well as on efficient and accurate warehouse management.
Handling and loading/unloading goods in logistics warehousing is time-consuming and costly. To reduce costs and improve efficiency, the adoption of automated material handling technology is imperative, thus the development of inertial navigation has received increasing attention. Among numerous material handling technologies, AGVs, with their unique advantages, have become the best solution for logistics warehousing.
Therefore, the use of AGVs is becoming more and more widespread. As a carrier, AGVs work with the overall logistics system to realize the automatic transfer and transportation of goods. The application of AGV inertial navigation has realized the automation, intelligence and information management of warehousing logistics or factories, which has greatly improved management efficiency and reduced the error rate.
