How to make AGVs wait in line for work?

Hello,

I am trying to set up a simple AGV system with 3 agv that will cycle trough a network. The idea is that they will pickup an item as soon as is created, transport it and get back in line behind the other AGVs to wait for their turn.

The model seems to work for the first 3 items (number of AGVs) but after the 4th it doesn't pick it up. I have tried modifyng the Query from the get Item from Global List activity to prioritize by distance, but no luck so far.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you

Xavi

Hi,

I have added one Decide activity in the Main control loop to send back the AGV'S token that complete the work and waiting for the next work to be done to the available AGV list in Parking block and this makes the AGV to circulate when the item is created.

The below image illustrates the changes done in AGV process flow;

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