AGV Stop for processing at BFR

Hello,

I am using the basic AGV template to control AGVs. However, I need the AGV to pickup an item, unload it at a processor, wait till processing is finished, then load it again and move to the next processor. This seems to be possible with a "wait for event" activity if I was using a processor, but I am using a basic fixed resource and I don't see an "on process finish" trigger. Using an "On Exit" trigger won't do the job I think.

Also, the AGV doesn't need to wait for BFR to be done processing because it doesn't use the "use transport". I need my wait for event activity to only work for those BFRs that use transport.

This is a demo model of my bigger model which have 30+ BFRs

For this you don't need the AGV template. Just use transport for the subsequent movements and place a label on the item : transporter when you create the first movement. Then refer to that in the subsequent processors using item.transporter

Attached is your example reworked to do this with a new object process flow for the agv(s):

agvstopforprocessing_jl.fsm

(You have some exceptions relating to a global table).
