AGV stop at area

[ FlexSim 22.2.3 ]

Otto 1500 simulation test.fsmI am making a simple simulation of an AVG running freight from a point to another point in a warehouse. I am needing it to stop at designated stop areas before proceeding. How can I halt an AVG in a spot for a certain amount of time before it proceeds.

Hey @Chandler S, one thing you could try is using a Control Point (CP) and Process Flow (PF). Add a CP on the path where you want your Task Executer (TE) to stop.

Then add some PF logic. Spawn a token when the TE arrives at the CP (use the OnPreArrival trigger). Then use a Custom Code block to stop the TE. Have another one to resume the TE. Put whatever logic you want in between those two (I simply put a 10 second delay).

You can checkout the logic in this model: otto-1500-simulation-test_1.fsm

You can create this logic with task sequences. Make an event triggered source with a Create TS, Delay, Finish TS and Sink.

For the source, the event will be On Pre-Arrival at the control point. Assign a taskExecuter label to each token.

In Create TS, the task executer will be token.taskExecuter. Then the preemption will be Preempt Only.

Attached is a simple demonstration model:

I am trying to do this in the process flow. I am seeing the process working when the AGV goes over the control point, but the vehicle is not stopping. The delay starts, but the vehicle does not stop

Can you post your updated model?
