VDA5050 - looking for existing implementations

[gorenje]

Hi There,

I’m looking for any existing Erlang/Elixir code that partially or completely implementations (or provides ideas on implementing) the VDA 5050 standard for moving bots around a factory floor, from the back cover of the cereal box:

Definition of a communication interface for driverless transport systems (DTS). This recommendation describes the communication interface for exchanging order and status data between a central master control and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for intralogistics processes.

Basically a couple of state machines and a few MQTT connectors should do the trick but it would be nice to learn from others experiences!

Cheers!

So I created a screencast series describing how to do this with Erlang-Red → GitHub - gorenje/vda5050_erlang_red: Breadboards for VDA5050 Protocol → very quick and rough but provides some interesting insights into visual programming.

Also, as an aside, yesterday I also added Elixir support inside Erlang-Red:

it is now possible to compile Elixir modules into the Erlang-Red environment. This is just module support, scripting support will come with time.
