Split AGV path into smaller segments

Hello,

Is there a way to alter the AGV navigator in a way that each path has a "max segment length"? In other words, I want to give my AGV a target destination that it should go to, but I want to stop the AGV every X number of grid nodes. This is so the AGV can perform a "check" every once in a while to make sure everything is okay.

Is this doable?

Thanks.

By source code? Several other users have asked for this in the past. Please use here the search tool. Because yes, it is doable.

Hi @Joerg Vogel, thanks for your response.

I may have done a poor job explaining, but that's not exactly what I'm asking. I have generated a grid of control points similar to the one you linked to. What I am trying to do now is more a question of the paths along those control points than the generation of the points themselves.

Let's say I want to get from A to B. I want the AGV to stop after every n (4 in this case) nodes and do a "check". In other words, split the path that is calculated by the AGV network into smaller sub-paths.

Maybe it would be a trigger on calculate path that does this?

Thanks

I have done this by inserting travel to location tasktypes (absolutely or relatively). I didn't test this for AGV path system. I did it on a workspace without any path system at all. It was just map data from global tables.

Your grid looks similar to a Kiva system. There are other newer models to use an A*Star grid.
