Clarity required for AGV battery level track?

Hi Team,

I am exposed to the problems where AGV recharge is part of the system. I am looking forward to model it. When I check some sample models where they have used battery level function to get the current battery level of AGV. I am curious to know how the battery level is determined.

Is it using the same concept in each system to find the current battery level?

I am curious to know if I can apply it directly to my system.

Thank you!

Your stats collector should be putting data.newValue in the column for BatLevel, not data.rowValue.

You can access the AGV class property for battery level as described here.

And remember the consumption rates are defined by the AGV Type in the AGV Network Properties dialog (version 2020 shown)

@Jason Lightfoot,

Thank you for your answer!

But I am still not clear on my doubt. On what basis the battery degradation is happening.


For eg: AGV may consume 10% or 20% battery to cover the same distance. It depends on the battery type or condition. Are we defining any rule somewhere?

Thank you!

@Ankur A3 AGV uses a different battery level according to the state of Loaded, empty, and idle based on the above AGV class property.

It's based on AGVType and LoadType as shown in the AGV Network Properties above. Unfortunately you cannot base it on the Path Class (Straight, Spurt, Custom etc.)
