Task Execution Strategy

Overview

In WCS, different task types and operation scenarios - such as cross-map executions or multi-device collaboration - may result in varied task execution steps and workflows. The Task Execution Strategy module allows users to define how tasks are broken down into steps and how those steps are scheduled and executed, either sequentially or in parallel.

By configuring these strategies, the system can autonomously generate and manage task steps according to the map topology, task characteristics, and execution control rules.

Task Step Splitting Rules & Execution Control

1. General Tasks

For general tasks such as Transport Task, Movement Task, and Charge Task, step generation and execution follow relatively fixed logic. These tasks may require cooperation between devices and human operators, and often have pre- and post-processing steps that must occur in a strict order.

• Steps are split before task execution and follow a defined sequence.

• Each step triggers the next upon completion.

• Operation instructions are generated based on step type and sent to the appropriate device or operator.

2. Picking Tasks

Pick Task is designed for pick-to-cart scenarios and differs from general task types.

• Each action (typically per source location) generates an individual step.

• The first step is responsible for capacity allocation (vehicle assignment).

• Once a vehicle is assigned, all subsequent steps under the same task are bound to the same vehicle and begin execution in sequence.

3. Post-Splitting Status Change

Once all task steps are generated, the task status automatically changes from Decision On to Unassigned, at which point capacity assignment begins.
