AGV Move at different times

Hello:

In my model, the AGV should move at the same time, but one of the models does not move at the same time. After running the model, click the initial state, and then click the first button. At this time, it is moved at the same time, but then click the second, there is a difference between the two models with one button, one is to carry at the same time, and the other has an AGV which is slower.

Thank you.

The default end speed of a travel task is the max speed of the task executer. See https://docs.flexsim.com/en/20.2/Reference/TaskSequences/TaskSequenceTypes/#travel

In your model, the 4 AGVs on the left have just finished traveling and ended at their max speed. The AGV on the right has not traveled yet, and its current speed is 0. Thus, the AGV on the right needs to accelerate to get up to its max speed. The others are already at their max speed.

Because no time has elapsed between when they finished their last travel task and started their next travel task, the 4 AGVs on the left start their next travel task from their current speed, not from 0.

If you want those 4 AGVs to end their travel tasks at speed 0, then pass a negative number for var1 in the travel task. If you do this, then they will all move together.
