    Operator: Overview and Key Concepts

    Uploaded by

    Elkin Ramirez
    Operators are task executers that can be called by objects to assist during setup, processing, or repair. They can carry flow items between objects and follow defined network paths. Operators have customizable shapes and use standard task executer events, states, and statistics. Their properties include animation settings and standard task executer tabs for breaks, collisions, triggers, labels, and general attributes.

    Operators can be called by objects to be utilized during setup, processing or
    repair time. They will stay with the object that called them until they are
    released. Once released, they can go work with a different object if they are
    called. They can also be used to carry flow items between objects. Operators can
    be placed on a network if they need to follow certain paths as they travel.

    The operator is a task executer. It implements offset travel depending on


    whether there's in an involved item for the offset. If there is no item, then it
    implements the offset exactly like the TaskExecuter object. It travels so that its
    x/y center and z base arrives at the destination location. If there is an involved
    item, then the operator only travels along the x/y plane. It also only travels up to
    the point where its front edge is at the edge of the flow item, instead of its x/y
    center. This done by decreasing the total travel distance by (xsize(operator) / 2 +
    xsize(item) / 2).

    The operator has animations in order to Walk, Walk Loaded, and Stand and more
    depending on the operator's shape. These animations can be viewed in the
    Animation Creator by right clicking an operator to open a menu. Point to Edit,
    then Animations.

    Context

    As mentioned above, the xsize of the item is queried to decrease the total offset
    distance. This may not work perfectly if you have flow items whose x size is very
    different from their y size, and the operator approaches from the y side of the
    flow item. If this is the case, and you want it to look more exact, you could try
    switching x and y sizes of the item and rotate it 90 degrees right before the
    operator picks it up, then undo those changes from the operator's load/unload
    trigger.

    Sh a p e
    The operator's shape can be customized using the Person Visuals panel of Quick
    Properties that is displayed when the operator is selected in the 3D view.

    Ev e n t s
    The operator uses the standard events that are common to all task executers.
    See Task Executer Concepts - Events for an explanation of these events.

    St a t e s
    This object uses the task executer states. See Task Executer Concepts - States
    for more information.

    13/5/2020 Operator

    St a t i s t i c s
    The operator uses the standard statistics that are common to all task executers.
    See Task Executer Concepts - Statistics for an explanation of these statistics.

    Pro p e rt ie s
    The operator object has six tabs with various properties. The last five tabs are
    the standard tabs that are common to all task executers (except the dispatcher).
    For more information about the properties on those tabs, see:

    The Breaks Tab


    The Collision Tab
    The Triggers Tab
    The Labels Tab
    The General Tab

    Only the Operator tab is unique to the operator object. However, most of the
    properties on this tab are the same as the properties on The Task Executer Tab.
    Only the first property is unique to the Operator tab.

    Do Operator Animations

    When this box is checked, the operator object will use the default animations for
    this object. If you want to use your own custom animations, you should clear this
    box.

    All Other Properties

    See The Task Executer Tab for an explanation of the remaining properties.
