- the computer-implemented method according to the invention is used to mediate execution of a work task in a system, in particular an industrial system, with more than two execution devices.
- a work task is to be understood as a work task of a work process, in particular a transport task, and/or a production task.
- a work task is to be understood as meaning one or more work steps and/or one or more production steps.
- the work task is particularly preferably an automated and/or machine work task.
- the execution device is preferably an autonomous execution device which can carry out the execution of a particularly mechanical and/or automated work task independently, ie autonomously, ie without central control of the execution of the work task, after the work task has been assigned to this execution device.
- the workload of the execution devices is queried by the execution devices themselves, ie not by the execution devices.
- the execution devices expediently determine, in particular calculate, the workload themselves.
- the self-determined workload of the execution devices can then be queried directly from the respective execution devices.
- autonomous execution devices that are distributed and available in an industrial plant can collaborate efficiently and resource-saving ad hoc, demand-driven and context-dependent in a decentralized infrastructure and thus, as self-organizing execution devices, communicate work tasks to one another in a robust and self-organized manner and assign.
- a central control of the execution devices or a centrally defined work plan for individual execution devices is not required in the method according to the invention in order to convey work tasks to the respective execution devices.
