Map IDs

Maps IDs #

Why do you need a Map ID? #

A Map Ids table for maps is used to resolve naming inconsistencies between robot-internal map names and Meili FMS map names.

For example, a user may name a map “Ground Floor” in Meili FMS, but a robot’s internal system might only recognise the map as “map_0” or another predefined identifier.
The user defined map IDs connection table acts as a translation layer between Meili FMS and each robot, ensuring consistent map references across all communications.

The IDs table ensures that:

  • Incoming messages from robots are correctly interpreted by Meili FMS.
  • The robot’s current floor is accurately identified within the system.
  • Outgoing map-related messages use the naming conventions expected by each robot.

How to Use the Map IDs #

A Map ID is configured individually for each vehicle within the team.
Once defined, Meili FMS automatically translates all incoming and outgoing map-related messages for that robot based on the specified Id table entries.

To create or edit a Map ID entry:

  1. Select the desired vehicle from the dashboard.
  2. Open the Map IDs tab.
  3. Add a new Map Id entry by specifying:
    • The robot’s internal map name, and
    • The corresponding system-wide map name in Meili FMS.
