AGV Blocked Tried all options. cant get 100 boxes out from system. only 97

[ FlexSim 19.0.0 ]

blocking-question.fsmI sourced 100 items and expect 100 items at sink when simulation ends. but Taskexecutor136 gets blocked due to task executor124 sitting at Control Point of MasterQueueOut and nothing helps moving it. plz suggest.

You need to set what to do when the AGV is idle. The solution is to give it a loading and unloading task or a moving task, at least not to stop on a main path.

Task executers do not naturally do anything when they are idle. You must tell them what they should do when they become idle. The control point connections (e.g. ParkPoints) do not have any inherent meaning to the logic of the model unless you define that logic, either by implementing it in a process flow, or using something like the AGV template process flow.

I've implemented a process flow in your model (I did it in 20.0) that listens for the OnResourceAvailable event, then waits for a second to see if he's given anything more to do, and if not, it tells him to go to one of the ParkPoints connected control points. I've made the ParkPoints connection be a list through through the AGV Network Properties window, and I pull from that list to select which ParkPoint to use.

@Ammar S do you still need help with this? If not, could you accept Anthony's answer? Thank you!
