AGV Drop-off (go to parking if load balance =0)

Hiya,

I have a question with regard to my AGV model.

I want the AGV to turn right to the dropoff point if the AGV carries 1 or more items, and I want the AGV

to go straight ahead if the AGV carries no items.

How do I adapt this in my model?

Thanks in advance.

How are you controlling your AGVs, through process flow or basic connections?

Hi Joshua, I'm controlling the model through process flow. I have enclosed the model, so I want the trains to pick-up and drop-off more than 1 item plus I dont want the AGVs 'to turn right' to the drop-off point if they don't carry any items.

Thanks for your help!

Version 18.2.2

I have made some alteration in AGV process flow and I have highlighted some of the process flow activity in red color that denote the newly implemented changes.

Solution:

1) The main problem in your mode is activation of AGV. Previously The AGVs are activated based on the AGV templated. Now I implement a Pull and Push List activity (red color activity) that tells the AGV to travel only if there is an item to be loaded in pick up point.

2) In AGV process flow "Should I Stay in Unload Mode?" (green color activity) the activity I have set a label name in the train called Train. (Value 1 denote that the train unload the item and looking for a parking lot, Value 0 denote train is loaded and look for the destination to unload).

I have attached the model for your reference have a look at it.

Hi,

Is this model satisfied the constraint that you are looking for?

Thanks
