Lift process flow issue

[doris_c]

[ FlexSim 24.0.2 ]

Hello

I'm inquiring because I checked that the lift did not work when the lift and process flow were linked in the model.

As shown in the picture above, I put the travel in CP6 and CP9 and ran the simulation, but the lift does not work.

If I remove the travel corresponding to CP6 and CP9 from the process flow, the lift will work normally again. What is the problem? Is there no solution?

thank's you

The AGV Elevator Process Flow listens for the Pre-Arrival event of the redirect CPs. At that point it checks whether the destination CP is on another floor and the AGV thus needs to use the elevator. If you given the task executers a task to travel to the redirect CP then that will be its destination when the logic fires and it will determine that the elevator is not necessary.

In order for the Process Flow to work correctly, the destination of the AGV has to already be on a different floor when the Pre-Arrival at the redirect CP happens. (Pre-Arrival is the moment where the AGV would need to start decelerating in order to come to a stop at a CP, so it depends on the current speed and deceleration of the AGV)
