This article mainly introduces how to use the openTCS plant overview platform to perform basic operations. The main content comes from the opentcs-users-guide manual included in the software.
Start client
openTCS-Kernel, openTCS-ModelEditor, openTCS-KernelControlCenter, openTCS-OperationsDesk to complete the platform startup.
We first start openTCS-Kernel
and double-click startKennel.bat
to start successfully as follows.
Next, start the map and basic configuration module.
After successful startup, such an appclition will pop up.

Go back to the Kernel Control Center and check the car driver. The car will already be displayed.
The effect is as follows:
Next we will start the desktop operation monitoring system\openTCS-OperationsDesk
After running, the following program will pop up
Return to the control center to start the car and configure the location
At this time, go back to the monitoring center and check. You can see that there are 4 more cars on the picture.
