Abstract
A system and method for exiting a low power mode of operation of a battery electric machine (BEM) are provided. The method includes determining a location of a BEM allocated to a production circuit; determining a location of a charging station compatible with the BEM; based on the locations of the BEM and the charging station and the production circuit: determining a plurality of tasks of the BEM for executing the production circuit, predicting a corresponding duration and a corresponding energy use of each of the plurality of tasks, and determining a sequence of the plurality of tasks; initiating the BEM to perform a next task after a current task of the plurality of tasks; and causing the BEM to exit a low power mode of operation of the BEM based on the predicted corresponding durations and the predicted corresponding energy uses of the current task and the next task.
