Why am I not able to acquire the resource?

Hi, I am trying to acquire an AGV through the resource activity. Below the configuration for the resource and how I am trying to acquire it. Anything wrong?

Also, I am trying to filter the AGVs to be available as resources by using this query (for 1 and for 2 load capacities):

Will this filter out AGVs ? Cause I have a feeling that "Puller" refers more to the flowitem requiring the transport...

Software Version:

FlexSim 22.1.2

acquire resource

Hello @Enrique Elizaga ,

First, your acquire should work without the Query, the resoure seems to be set up fine, we should check out how the acquire is set up. Here is a very basic example of a resource set up as you did that is working:

AGV Group Resource.fsm

For the Query one, are your trying to filter the AGV with a CAPACITY higher than 2 or the tokens?

If you are trying to filter the AGV you should declare the label inside the resource.

If you are trying to filter the tokens I believe you cannot do it with a resource since we can only ORDER BY the backorders, so I would suggest using a list instead.

Hi @Julio R , out of the resources in the group. I want to keep the AGVs whose label "LOADS" is equal to 1. I am trying to filter on aquire.

Query should be WHERE value.LOADS=1 but you can also just use WHERE LOADS=1

This is correct! It works perfectly.

Hello @Enrique Elizaga,

If Capacity is a column in the list then you can write the Query like this

WHERE CAPACITY = 2

I can be of more help if you post your model.

Hello @Enrique Elizaga , I share the following model (FlexSim v22.1.2) where in a PF I assign the Query in Resource and in another PF the Query in Acquire.

I hope it is useful to you.
