# Transport Receiver

The task `Transport Receiver` is a Task that performs fleet management (AGV) through the message bus. It receives commands (typically from factory automation workflows) and relays the data to the fleet managing driver

## Behavior

This task is suppose to be used within the workerManager nested workflows (during a job execution). You should provide task related configurations, fleet related configurations (fleet manager type and command to perform) and also communication related settings (timeouts).

!!! info
	The `Transport Receiver` task is only activated when a value different from *False* is sent to the *Activate* input.

## Remarks

None.
