Multiple AGV Process Flows

daniel_a5 — Tue, 03 Oct 2017 16:07:14 GMT

I am trying to use multiple AGV process flows in a model. I have created the three process flows (AGV1, AGV2, AGV3) and assigned two AGVs to the first process flow, and one each to the second and third. Instead of using the standard AGVWork item list, I have created three global lists to add the jobs to. The first AGV Process Flow seems to work correctly, however the second adds the items to the correct global lists but the jobs do not get picked up by the AGVs. What am I doing incorrectly?

@Daniel A5

To understand and know what is happening in your model, we either need your model or a sample model of the problem area of your model. Can you send us something like that so we can see what is going on?

Thanks.

Thanks Jeff. I have made a sample model demonstrating the problem I am having. I have created two AGV Process flows (AGV1 and AGV2) and two lists (AGVWork and AGVWork2) with two task executors attached to each. The first process flow works correctly, where the second travels around the network but doesn't collect the item from the source.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Daniel A5

You forget to change the reference of picking itemlist in AGVWORK2 processflow.

You should select the AGVWork2 in Global Load List share assets in AGV2 processflow as shown in pic below.

Perfect, thank you!
