AGV Travel to specific path

I am trying to make each AGV go to a specific pickup and drop off location. Essentially, I have two AGVs, each one with specific pick up and drop off locations. They do share one pickup and drop off location though. I need the AGVs to stop ONLY at the locations provided in the picture below. They should take distinct paths. Any help would be appreciated! I have attached the flexsim model as well.

Unit Simulation Model.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.2.4

This sounds like you should not be using an AGV process flow template - but simple transport tasks maybe with a dispatcher.

Thank you for your feedback! I just recreated the model using a dispatcher and it is working fine. However, how can I prevent collisions at shared pickup/drop off locations? I am aware of the traffic control object but I feel like that is used more at intersections. Any thoughts on this?

They should not be able to pass over each other. How can I prevent this from happening?
