lookforwork for node network

when i use node network simulate rgv,there is an agv unload the item into the destination,after unload the item, this agvs state became idle,it just stop there ,and blocked the agvs behind it,like pic below, how can i solve this problem?

I just wonder is there a similiar methed like lookforwork in agv network could be used in node network?

or should I write some travel task in on resource availiable trigger?

Could someone give me some suggestions?

thanks very much.

Yes. You should use On Available trigger in the networknode navigator. You can set a point to move when AGV become idle. Or you should use AGV network navigator.

thank you

I use travel to home location in On Available trigger ,but agvs just move to the specific location and stop,how could i make the agv loop the circle, like redirect as destnation behaviour in agv network when it is idle?

thank you very much

You can’t do it like in AGV module. You can give the taskexecuter a travel task to a network node some nodes ahead and then another travel task to a network node further ahead. Maybe you have completed a full round trip. Now you give the taskexecuter the next travel tasks to do another cycle. This way the taskexecuter can travel similar like a loop. A network node path system isn’t acting like an AGV module path system. It behaves on a more basic level, but it has features you can not implement in an AGV module path system like a traffic control.

The state idle is a bit difficult to classify. Actually you can’t. Only if you combine state travel empty with nothing else to do, is a state combination that is idle. Nothing else to do means the dispatcher or the taskexecuter tasksequence queue doesn’t contain a tasksequence which hasn’t got a sequence of 5 tasks to do next.

You need to set the node in the home location On Available trigger like the picture. The default home location is the dispatcher.
