Introduction
DFleet is a fleet management system that enables multiple AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots) to execute tasks within the same working area. DFleet controls the traffic flow of AMRs and manages task assignment to ensure all AMRs efficiently complete their tasks.
DFleet extends its capability by communicating with other devices, allowing features such as automatic task triggering. This enables seamless integration with external systems and hardware components on the factory floor.

Dashboard Description
The Dashboard is divided into several key areas, each providing different functionality for fleet management and monitoring.
Create Tasks -- Tasks can be created via task buttons displayed on the Dashboard or through the Create Task menu. Task buttons provide quick access to frequently used task templates.
Live Map -- The Live Map displays the real-time locations of all AMRs in the working area. Users can pan and zoom the map to view different areas. Click on an AMR icon to display its name and current status.
AMR icons on the Live Map use color coding to indicate their current status:
| Icon Color | Status |
|---|---|
| Yellow | Running a task with Wait function active |
| Green | Idle or currently running a task |
| Blue | Waiting for the traffic controller |
| Red | Safety triggered -- AMR has stopped due to a safety event |
Components -- The Components area displays all available components with their live status views. Supported component types include Audio, Device Monitoring, Lift, Register, Remote IO, Scripts, and Secs/Gem.
Management Panel -- The Management Panel allows users to create management tasks from available templates. It also provides a status overview showing the current state of all management tasks.
Transaction Panel -- The Transaction Panel displays all running and completed transactions, as well as active carriers. From this panel, users can:
- View the list of running and completed transactions with their current status.
- Add new transactions or stop existing ones as needed.
- Monitor active carriers and manually change carrier locations when required.
