TaskExecuter_ReturnPosition

jose_antonio_mad — Wed, 26 Jul 2017 08:47:35 GMT

Hello,

I have a problem using the TaskExecuter.

My problem is that the TaskExecuter has to return to a initial postion when he made a movement (for example: Go to Source>Go to Queue1 > Return to Home position), but when another activity is waitting for the TaskExecuter, it goes to the other activity instead of going to Home position.

Probably the solution is easy, but I can't find it, sorry.

Thank you!

Hi,

You can achieve by choosing Travel to object in the dropdown list of OnUnload trigger of task executor and refer home location in the destination field. I have attached the model for your reference. travel-to-home-location.fsm

I tried this solution before asking, but it doesn't work.

My idea is the TaskExecuter secuence: Go to Source> Go to Queue1>Go to Reference Point>Go to Source>Go to Queue 2..... And if I do this the sequence is Go to Source> Go to Queue1>Go to Source>Go to Queue 2..... The TaskExecuter problem is, if another item is waiting, TaskExecuter "prefers" to go to the other activity instead of going to the reference point.

Hi Jose Antonio,

here you can find a tutorial on how to use Process Flow to create a task sequence. This way, you can define exactly what you want the task executer to do.

As a note: You need to add a travel activity before the load and unload tasks to make the task executer follow your network. Otherwise it will travel directly to it.

@José Antonio MAD

I change the condition and set priority for that task in travel to object, I think now it will work and I hope this is what you had intended to do.travel-to-home-location-v1.fsm
