Transport Destination and AGV Problem

[serdark32]

I’ve an extremly basic case but facing several problems.

There are two different points where I need to transfer the products from. My destination is stretch wrapper.

I created 2 different assembly product, flow groups and different mobile controllers. I also tried it in the same flow with just one product type.

But whatever I did, I couldn’t move both AGV at the same time. Only one of them is moving.

When I change the destination from “The next process” to “Transport node” on the Process#1, they both work at the same time. But when product arrives in stretch wrapper, it doesn’t move, gets stuck.

We solved by putting another invisible process node next to AGV-Place point, which is not proper way to overcome this problem.

Any help will be apprecieted. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Only one AGV moves because you only request one pallet at stretch wrapper line.
In the beginning is only one match between a transportIn and a transportOut statement.

You need to work with StartTransportIn-statement like this:

Following academy video can help you (chapter 10. Adding a Start Transport In statement and 11. Adding a Wait Transport statement):

Hello, many thanks for your response.

It helped me to approach differently. My case is a little different so I can’t still figure out.

They both moved to pick up the product, but first product is waiting “Transport In” statement to be completed before transporting out. When it occurs, both of them transport out together.

Maybe I could use “if” statement but when I count them, two of them considered 1 item.

I tried “Start Transport Out” statement in different orders, didn’t work.

It’s important for me because I will increase number of AGV.

Best regards.

I think you forgot to use the “Wait Transport” after the “Start Transport In” : Wait for Transport | Visual Components Academy

Otherwise, you could use the Capacity Pull Process (eCat - PM Flow Components).
In the process of this component, you can choose a conveyor or container and request as many products as the capacity of this component allows (you can set the capacity of a conveyor in its Advanced Properties).
The Mobile Robots might try to all bring their products at the same time, so I would suggest to use Pathways with a capacity of 1 in front of it.

Here is an example:

That’s amazing, workıng like a charm. Many thanks for your support and time.
