How to set the charging station of AGV in A star?

How to use the AGV charging function in A star,


When the AGV power is lower than a certain power,

The AGV will automatically go to the charging station,

After charging, it will automatically change to the next one.

Because I found a lot of information is to use the control point to do the setting,

You can build a simple battery system similar to that of the agv network by using a kinetic tracked variable in a label on the task executers. A process flow can monitor the value of that variable and if it falls below a certain threshold it would create a (preempting) task sequence that has the task executer travel to the charging location and set the rate of the variable to recharge. When the "battery" is full again the task sequence can be finished and the task executer will resume it's tasks.
