Abstract: Adjusting a navigation path of a worker land roaming edge device is provided. The worker land roaming edge device is identified moving along a navigation path to an asset to perform a task. It is determined that the worker land roaming edge device cannot reach the asset to perform the task due to an environment change along the navigation path. A set of task performance alternatives is generated in response to determining that the worker land roaming edge device cannot reach the asset to perform the task. A task performance alternative of the set of task performance alternatives is selected based on a set of criteria. The navigation path of the worker land roaming edge device is adjusted in accordance with the selected task performance alternative. The adjusted navigation path is sent to the worker land roaming edge device to dynamically adjust operation of the worker land roaming edge device.
