Autostart

Versions 1.5.x and lower of the Bin Picking Studio offered the Autostart feature - one of the solutions could have been marked with an autostart flag to be deployed every time the Vision Controller boots up.

In version 1.6.0 of the Bin Picking Studio, this feature has been removed in favor of automatic last-state recovery and the ability to request the start of a solution from the robotic controller at any time.

Behavior and usage

The Bin Picking Studio 1.6.0 and later and the Locator Studio save their last state before shutdown - if no solution was deployed at the time the Vision Controller was shut down, no solution is deployed after the Vision Controller boots up. If a solution was deployed before the shutdown, the same solution will be automatically deployed once the Vision Controller boots up.

If a specific solution should be deployed after the Vision Controller boots up and no solution was running before the Vision Controller was shut down, the Start solution request should be used after the connection between the Action Request Client (robot controller) and the Action Request Server (Vision Controller) is established.

If a solution is automatically deployed because it was running in deployment before the Vision Controller was shut down, the Get running solution request can be used to get the ID of the deployed solution, and, if necessary, the Change solution request to deploy the desired solution instead of the current one.
