Robot Collision with Flow Item

Hello,

I have no idea to solve the Problem:

I want to avoid a collision with the Robot an the Flow Item.

So the red item has to wait till Robot is finished. I tried it with Agent Systems but i think it doesn't work with Flow Items.

Thanks for your help.

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.0.10

How is this handled in the real system? To get an accurate representation you should try to simulate the real behaviour as best as possible.

As I see it there are mostly two options.

- Use a decision point/photo eye to stop the item if the robot is currently busy. And possibly vice versa, stop the robot so it can't start any task while an item is present in the vicinity.

- Define motion paths for the robot that lift the other item higher to avoid any potential collision.
