Pull item based on nearest destination and travel to unload

s1125413 — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 07:40:48 GMT

In my model, the agv will load the tote and there are many box in the tote that record the "dest" label let agv to travel to unload. As the title mentioned, I try to pull the item order by distance, and travel to unload from dest1 to dest5 instead of dest5 to dest1, but it seem like not a good idea.

Are there any method to implement that?

Thank you in advance.

You have the right idea of pushing the items to a list and pulling them ordered by distance. You need to adjust the distance expression though. It is currently trying to calculate the distance from the item to the task sequence (set as puller). It should be from the task executer (puller) to the item's destination (value.dest).
