Task executer (un)load time does not work if it is an AGV

Hi,

When you have a task executer as AGV that needs to load and unload some boxes something are going wrong at the load/unload times. It looks like the load time is completely ignored and the unload time seems to use the value off the load time variable.

Attached is a simple model that shows this problem. The AGV should have 5 seconds load time at the source, and 15 second unload time at the queue. You will see that there is no load time at the source and only 5 second unload time at the sink.

Thanks for fixing this

Patrick

This is a bug, and is the same as Sudheer's question. You can get around it by setting the AGV's offsets setting to Do not travel offsets for load/unload tasks.

To be clear, AGVs can travel offsets. This was a new feature added in 20.1, and when you connect an AGV to an AGV network, it will automatically set the travel offsets setting to use the AGV network. For now, though, you'll need to set it back to Do not travel... to get your load/unload times working.
