Record the retrieval time of AGV before loaded item

[ FlexSim 22.2.0 ]

Hi,

I wanna record the retrieve time that defined as a item has been assigned a AGV to transport, but AGV is still moving to its pickup point.

I used basic AGV process flow, however, I can't find out the procedure to use "custom code" where set object state to recorde the the retrieve time of a AGV.

For instance, while AGV1 passed "ControlPoint8", it moves toward "ControlPoint1" to pick a item in Queue1. In the state figure, it still belong to travel empty. However, I wanna to record as "retrieve time" while AGV has been assigned a command to pick the item.

Could you please help?

Thanks advanced.

Hello @Che-Wei Chou,

You may need to create a new process flow to accomplish what you want. In your description you want the AGV to know it is acquiring an item before it arrives at a control point. When in reality the AGV does not know there is an item to load untill it arrives at the CP. You can see this clearly in the Main part of the basic AGV template.
