PohlCon’s WCPS updates

There have been PohlCon’s Wireless Charging Protection Systems (WCPS) components already in the 4.7 eCat.

  • Now they are also charging when the AMR is picking, placing, idling or processing, not just as charging location when the battery is empty.
  • They have MaxChargingDistance property to define the threshold for the distance when to charge
  • They are not detected anymore as obstacles. (PMSoftObstacle = False) That means, that the resources can route through them, not just as destination.
