Hello, I want to add a charging area in the VRP example as pic. However, the AGVs won't go to the decide "Is Battery Below Threshold?". Even I forced these AGVs to go to the charge point, tokens will be stuck at "Wait for Battery Charge", AGVs will stuck at chatge spots. Hope I can get some help,thanks!
As long as there is work the battery level check never happens. It currently only happens when an AGV arrives at a park point and then finds new work. To have the AGV start to charge whenever the battery level stops below a threshold use an independent Event-Triggered Source to listen for that. And use task sequences, so you can dispatch a charging TS to the AGV that has a higher priority than the work task sequences.
You also currently don't actually start to recharge the AGV. Which is why it gets stuck; the battery level can't increase past the threshold if it is not increasing at all.
